OK, I have to admit, I very rarely get excited about gadgets, in fact almost never. But this new energy saving device certainly caught my attention. After watching the video and reading the specs, I just had to share the news. I wrote an earlier blog which introduced Smart Meters from Dominion Power, which was a way for you and the energy company to collect energy usage information and adjust your energy in a cost efficient way. But this goes above and beyond not only saving energy but by providing a more comfortable environment in your own home.

The battle over the Thermostat

Everyone has different needs when it comes to staying warm or cool, but this can certainly cause a battle over the thermostat, one person turning it up when they wake up and then another person turning it down on their return from the gym. But imagine the perfect world where your thermostat could learn from your habits. Well great news, that day has arrived.

Introducing the new Nest Learning Thermostat

The Nest Learning Thermostat is almost like a family member, who is looking out for you by constantly monitoring and adjusting your heating and cooling needs. Within 6 days after installation it will have you routine stored and adjust to suit your heating and cooling needs. The Nest Learning Thermostat learns when you are away and when you return, when you go to bed and when you wake. Therefore there is no need to remember to adjust your thermostat.

It Just Gets Better.

Of course living in Northern Virginia we have some unseasonable warm and cold days. I hate the thought of returning home to a cold house if the temperature suddenly drops. I am sure you have already figured out what I am going to say next, but it is true, the The Nest Learning Thermostat can also be adjusted remotely using your wifi internet connection and the Nest Learning Thermostat app through your smartphone. This clever small thermostat also shows you when you are saving energy by adjusting the temperature up or down by a few degrees. At around $249 this little device can save you a whole lot of money on future energy bills, allowing you to spend it somewhere else a little more fun.

Summing it up

The Nest Learning Thermostat
• Helps ensure that you will never be too hot or too cold again in your own home, providing a comfortable living and working temperature.
• Helps you save money by avoiding unnecessary energy use when no one is home or you are asleep.
• Shows you when you are saving energy
• Is an essential gadget for continuing your green commitment.

Don’t just take my word, see for yourself what the The Nest Learning Thermostat can offer your home.
