The cold days are fast approaching, and while we’ll ultimately be thankful when the heat kicks in, the last thing we look forward to is the massive energy bill. Keeping tabs on the thermostat has become a necessity nowadays with energy at a premium, but sometimes that temperature managing device can be too confusing to fiddle with. Thankfully, Ecobee has ironed out all of the kinks with their very own version of the integrated intelligent programmable smart thermostat. Their WiFi enabled touchscreen (it resembles an iPod) makes being green easy with a quick save button that automatically sets your system to conserve. If you’ve forgotten to lower your heat after you’ve left your home, you can also login online and tinker with the settings remotely, which might come in handy if need to freeze out an unwelcome houseguest.

I installed the EcoBee in June, and yes I do think its great. One point not yet mentioned is potential insurance saving with the EcoBee. A few weeks after the install my insurance company did an appraisal of my house. The gal really liked the feature where I can program the EcoBee to email myself (and any number of other folks) if the house temperature exceeds either a high or low threshold. A high threshold could mean a fire has started. I low threshold (I live it Ottawa Canada) could mean the furnace has stopped working, and my pipes may freeze. The adjuster thought this was great tool to mitigate risk, and said it could result in insurance savings, similar to having the house monitored for security and fire.

BYW the iPod app is available.
