The Top-Rated Thermostats Compared
Smart thermostats have become a must for homeowners. But which device is the best? Rob's Albertan Service Experts is here with the highest-rated smart thermostats in the market right now.
Almost 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 enhanced security. Nest also has smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which send alerts to your cell 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 family’s routine so it knows when you’re away. Over time, you can stop touching your thermostat because it will already know to raise or lower the temperature and adjust for the seasons. In the event your routine changes, like if you go on vacation, if you forgot to adjust your thermostat, you can just get out your mobile device and make any changes through the app.
You can get the Nest 3rd Generation with professional installation from Service Experts for about $350 depending on where you live, or for $250 without installation.
Honeywell
The Honeywell Wifi Smart Thermostat doesn’t have the same learning capabilities as the Nest, however, it is easy to setup and can be programmed with just some simple questions. You can modify the schedule at any time and the device keeps you informed about any changes in indoor climate and even informs you when you should swap out the air filter in your heating equipment for optimal efficiency. You can make any adjustments via your mobile app, whether you’re in bed or in the next province. The device even informs 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 understand if you’re actually away from the home or if you’re just lingering in one room.
While almosmt all the “smart” thermostats learn your routines and adjust your thermostat accordingly to save you money on utility bills, people who love reports will really enjoy the Ecobee3. You can program different zones and generate reports on average temperatures, how much money you’ve saved, and more.
Ask how you can get the Ecobee3 2nd Generation from Service Experts for about $250.
