Spotlight on the Nest Learning Thermostat

Your thermostat acts as a control center for all your home’s heating and cooling needs, allowing you to “communicate” with your heating and air conditioning to achieve the perfect indoor temperature. Smart thermostat technology can help you save money and energy effortlessly, all while enjoying the utmost in comfort at home. The Nest Learning Thermostat offers better control over your heating and air conditioning to achieve maximum energy efficiency, regardless of the weather outside.

Nest Learning Thermostat Basics

Your home’s overall energy usage is affected greatly by your heating and cooling habits. In fact, thermostats are responsible for nine percent of all energy use in the United States and up to half of the energy use of an individual home. Programmable thermostats were meant to revolutionize American energy usage, yet many homeowners don’t take advantage of this technology because it is often confusing or inconvenient. Based on this information, Nest Labs sought to develop a “smarter” thermostat capable of learning and improving homeowners’ energy usage patterns to deliver constant comfort more efficiently than ever before. The Nest Learning Thermostat is a WiFi-enabled user-friendly HVAC tool that takes all of the guesswork and inconvenience out of owning a programmable thermostat. Not only does the Nest Learning Thermostat create and execute temperature programs for you, it records and displays your energy usage and tells you when you’re saving the most energy so you can develop more energy-efficient lifestyle patterns and better understand your home’s energy usage.

Nest Learning Thermostat Benefits

The Nest Learning Thermostat offers a variety of features that can help you save energy. When you change the set temperature on your thermostat, the readout will tell you how long it will take for your furnace or air conditioner to achieve the new desired temperature. Nest’s Leaf icon indicates temperature settings that balance comfort with conservation to let you know when you’re saving energy and how to do it more often. Additionally, the Nest Learning Thermostat does exactly as its name suggests—it records your temperature settings, preferences, and patterns to create the ideal program for heating and cooling your home. After as little as one week of setting the temperature manually, Nest will learn your schedule and your preferences. You’ll never need to program your thermostat because your thermostat will program itself, changing the temperature based on when you are home, when you are asleep, and when you are away. Nest’s features also include an “Auto-Away” function that will change your home’s set temperature for more energy savings while you’re gone, even if you forget to change the thermostat on your way out the door. The Nest Learning Thermostat’s wireless functionality allows you to access your home’s HVAC system from any mobile device or computer, anywhere in the world. You can check and change your home’s temperature while you are at work, enjoying leisure activities, or even while you are on vacation miles away.
