The Top-Rated Thermostats Compared
Smart thermostats have become a demand for homeowners. But which device is the best? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with the best smart thermostats out there right now.
Most everyone has heard of the Nest Learning Thermostat, and the great thing about Nest is you can merge several home devices into the one user-friendly app. Nest provides indoor cameras, great for baby monitors, and outdoor cameras, for increased security. Nest also has smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which send messages to your mobile device whenever smoke or CO is detected.
What makes the Nest thermostat “smart” is that the system can learn your habits, your temperature preferences, and even your day-to-day routine so it comprehends when you’re away. Over time, you can stop messing with your thermostat because it will automatically raise the lower the temperature and adjust for the seasons. In the event your routine changes, like if you go on vacation, if you forgot to raise or lower your thermostat, you can just get out your cell or tablet and make any modifications through the app.
You can get the Nest 3rd Generation with professional installation from Service Experts for about $350 depending on your location, or for $250 without installation.
Honeywell
Honeywell’s Wifi Smart Thermostat doesn’t learn in the way the Nest does, however, it is simple to setup and can be programmed with just some simple questions. You can adjust the schedule at any time and the device keeps you notified about any changes in indoor climate and even alerts you when you should swap out the air filter in your heating system for optimal efficiency. You can make any modifications via your mobile app, whether you’re in your kitchen or in the next state. The thermostat even notifies you of extreme temperature changes!

Ecobee3
The Ecobee3 Smart Wifi Thermostat understands your routines, similar to the Nest, but a cool feature of the Ecobee3 is the remote sensors. If your thermostat isn’t located in a central location in your home, the remote sensors help the Ecobee3 know if you’re really away from the home or if you’re just remaining in one room.
While almosmt all the “smart” thermostats learn your routines and adjust your thermostat accordingly to save you money on heating and cooling bills, homeowners who like reports will really like the Ecobee3. You can program separate zones and generate reports on average temperatures, how much money you’ve saved, and more.
Right now you can get the Ecobee3 2nd Generation from Service Experts for about $250.
