Nest Learning Thermostat, Easy Temperature Control for Every Room in Your House, Stainless Steel (Third Generation)
That will get you to Amazon Site.....
After
purchasing a new home and watching our utility bills rise for a while I
vowed to change all of that in 2015. I began to purchase LED light bulbs
as a start, new energy efficient appliances, and then September 2015
the Nest 3rd Generation was released which caught my attention. I asked
my father in-law who had the Nest 2nd Generation for information and he
had nothing negative to say about it so I was sold. After comparing it
to other competitors I was hooked on this one due to the ease of
installation, good reviews, and $100 electric company rebate (ask your
local energy company).
Do not be intimidated to install this on your own it's not hard. The instructions it comes with and YouTube to be on the safe side did it for me. Before installing please make sure to shut your homes power panel breaker prior to uninstalling the old thermostat and installing the Nest (be safe). Take a picture of the way the wires were installed on your old thermostat prior to uninstalling. In doing so this will ensure that your connections are connected correctly. Test your wires one more time prior to uninstalling to make sure no power is running (avoid being shocked or damaging anything). I did not use/install the base-plate (pictures shown) because I wanted a modern, sleek, and clean look. The body and display (40% increase) of the 3rd generation is slightly larger then that of the 2nd generation. If you have children you can lock it so that a child touching it can not change or disrupt your temperature or any of your settings. The stainless steel dial is very smooth and allows you to navigate through the settings with ease.
It takes the Nest a couple of days to remember what temperatures you like when you are home and at what times you are home. After a couple of days Nest will ask you if you want it to automatically go into "Away Mode" when it senses you are not home (you decide opt in or opt out - I opted in). I recommend opting in to "Away Mode" for better energy savings. You can control when you are home and when you are away during those few days or if you opt out of "Away Mode" then you control it all. Smartphone application is free and easy to use.
The new "Far-Sight" feature is awesome and can catch me at approximately 10 feet away even in the dark. When Nest detects any motion it will illuminate with what the current temperature is. This is how it can tell if you are home or not and can automatically place itself in "Away Mode" for energy savings.
Being able to control everything from the application on my smartphone itself is so awesome (fan, cooling/heating mode, humidity level, away/home mode, set a schedule, history, etc.). Nest will remind you when you should change your air filters on your furnace because it can base it upon how many times it turns on and off.
Significant drop in energy consumption can be seen on my gas bill after month 1. Due to this my father purchased the item as well and has no complaints thus far.
UPDATE: 15FEB17 Still own the item with no problems.
If you are doing research and thinking of purchasing it - just do it! It is paying for itself in savings thus far. Highly recommended! (PICTURES ATTACHED) "Was this review helpful to you?" if it was please select "YES" below. Thank you! :)
