If you need a holiday gift idea for a homeowner in your life, why not consider
getting them a smart thermostat? A smart thermostat has revolutionized
the way homeowners control the climate in their home by sticking to a
schedule or even learning your tendencies and adjustments based on a number
of different factors. Many of them are also Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you
to control them with your smartphone, even when you are not home at all.
On this blog, we examine the top options available on the market to help
you choose.
Honeywell Smart Thermostats
Honeywell has two different models that have been lauded by both consumers
and professional reviewers alike. The Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat has a brilliant,
full-color screen, easy-to-use interface, and has Wi-Fi control capabilities.
It also can be programmed, to the hour, for up to seven consecutive days.
This model runs $185 on Amazon.
The second Honeywell model to be highly-acclaimed is the Z-wave enabled
smart thermostat. This one features a traditional LCD screen, but can
control other parts of your home that are Z-wave enabled, such as lights
and appliances. Like all the other models on this list, it too is Wi-Fi
enabled and can be controlled from your tablet or smartphone. This one
will run you about $140 on Amazon, so it’s a little bit more budget-friendly.
Ecobee3
The Ecobee3 is an extremely popular option with consumers who want the
ability to control nearly every aspect of their home’s heating and
cooling systems with precision. The Ecobee3 functions using Wi-Fi remote
sensors placed at various points throughout the house which help it to
learn and make decisions on temperature adjustments and when to turn your
system on and off based on a number of factors. It even learns when you
are usually home and away, and turns your system on and off to save you
money. One of these units will run you about $260 on Amazon, and includes
one remote sensor.
Nest
This is the undisputed king of the smart thermostat world, as well as the
pioneer of the technology. The Nest was the first to offer the kind of
self-programming capabilities based on your preferences and habits. Installation
is relatively easy, the device can be smartphone or tablet controlled,
and it learns quickly, allowing you to stop touching it almost entirely
after a short period of time. These run you about $225 on Amazon.
