The Top-Rated Thermostats Compared
Smart thermostats have become a requirement for homeowners. But which device is the best? Stevenson Service Experts is here with the highest-rated smart thermostats available right now.
Practically everyone has heard of the Nest Learning Thermostat, and the wonderful thing about Nest is you can integrate several home devices into the one user-friendly app. Nest offers indoor cameras, great for baby monitors, and outdoor cameras, for increased security. Nest also manufactures smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which send messages to your phone whenever smoke or CO is detected.
What makes the Nest thermostat “smart” is that it can learn your patterns, your temperature preferences, and even your day-to-day routine so it comprehends when you’re away. Eventually, you can stop messing with your thermostat because it will automatically raise the lower the temperature and adjust for the seasons. If for some reason your routine changes, like if you go on a trip, if you forgot to raise or lower your thermostat, you can just get out your cell or tablet and make any changes through the app.
You can buy the Nest 3rd Generation with professional installation from Service Experts for about $350 depending on where you live, or for $250 for just the thermostat.
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 a couple simple questions. You can alter the schedule at any time and the device keeps you updated about any changes in indoor climate and even informs you when you should replace the air filter in your heating equipment for optimal efficiency. You can make any adjustments via your mobile app, whether you’re in your kitchen or in the next state. The device even informs you of extreme temperature changes!

Ecobee3
The Ecobee3 Smart Wifi Thermostat learns your routines, similar to the Nest, but a great 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 comprehend if you’re truly away from the home or if you’re just lingering in one room.
While most all the “smart” thermostats learn your habits and adjust your thermostat accordingly to save you money on energy bills, people who love reports will really like the Ecobee3. You can program separate zones and get reports on average temperatures, how much money you’ve saved, and more.
Call 614-334-3192 to get the Ecobee3 2nd Generation from Service Experts for about $250.
