The Nest Learning Thermostat

Every year, most households spend large amounts of money on buying energy for heating. Much of this energy is wasted when we are not home, sleeping, or simply in different rooms of the house, thus letting the fire go up the chimney – contributing unnecessarily to CO2 emissions that are extremely harmful to the environment. The reason for this is quite simple and a little sad: very few people actually regulate their thermostats properly. This is generally due to one of three reasons: laziness, inability to manage complicated programmable thermostats, or lack of knowledge about the importance of proper regulation.

The Nest Learning Thermostat is a smart thermostat that programs itself and controls your heating and cooling to your liking in the most economical and sustainable way possible. It turns itself down when you’re away and helps you understand how your home uses energy so you can save more while protecting the environment in the process.

Nest learns from you, and today, 99% of Nests have schedules that work with their owner’s lives. And when life doesn’t go according to schedule, Nest can help. Forgot to turn down the thermostat before you left the house? Auto-Away automatically saves energy while you’re out. Dreading the summer heat? Airwave™ cuts down on your cooling costs. Coming home early from a weekend away? Use your smart phone to regulate the temp on your way.

And as Nest learns about your preferences and your home, you can learn from Nest: Energy History gives you newfound insight into your energy use, Nest’s custom tips help you save more, while Nest Leaf guides you to energy savings.

It is simple. The average US household spends $30,000 on heating and cooling over a 20-year period. In that time, the $249 Nest Learning Thermostat, which takes 30 minutes to install and programs itself in a week, can save you $6,000. For energy conscious people who want to save money and the environment, the Nest Learning Thermostat is a match made in heaven.
