Let's stop wasting energy.
Who knew? Your thermostat controls about 50% of your home’s energy bill – more than appliances, more than electronics.
Problem You often run the heat or AC when you’re not even home. Or when you’re asleep and don’t need it.
Solution A Google Nest thermostat can help you save energy – automatically. Its features have been proven to save an average of 10% to 12% on heating and 15% on cooling in the US. That’s $145 a year, which means it can pay for itself in just two years.*
*This is an estimate and not a guarantee of savings. Actual savings vary based on your energy use, utility rates, and plan.*
Check your system compatibility before you buy. Compatible wiring is required for installation. If your wiring is not compatible, consult with a contractor for installation assistance.
Proven energy savings: The Nest Learning Thermostat is the first thermostat to get ENERGY STAR certified. It learns what temperature you like and builds a schedule around yours.
Follow the Leaf: The Nest Learning Thermostat can use sensors and your phone's location to check if you've left, then sets itself to an Eco Temperature to save energy.
See how much you saved: Nest shows you how much energy you use every day in Energy History and every month in your Home Report.
HVAC Monitoring can help catch many system issues early.
Heating and cooling system alerts: If something doesn't seem right*, it can send an alert and help you find a qualified pro.
Helpful maintenance reminders: Get helpful reminders, like when it's time to replace your air filter.
*Alerts can notify you of a potential issue with eligible HVAC systems. They're meant to provide helpful information, not an endorsement, representation, or warranty of any kind about the health of your HVAC system. Alerts aren't intended to replace a diagnosis by a qualified HVAC professional.
