Quote from gonepostl :
How does this bring your cost down exactly??
It DOESN'T....if you've already implemented aggressive tactics to reduce thermal loss in your home and turned the heater thermostat down by hand (yes, humans have hands attached to sometimes lazy butts).

Over here in SoCal, the offer is a joke for my house. $100~ electric bill with the majority going to the electric dryer, refrigerator, and one 37" hdtv. Everything else is on 8 watt or less LED bulbs, power strips, or turned off by hand when not in use immediately. I'd save even more hang drying in the sun, but the criminals next door processing weed etc would stink up the clothes. (And anyone do the math on how much illegal indoor commercial grows gobble up? Electricity police should go after them with a heavy stick.)

So in order to install this magic device, I'd first have to waste MORE energy. 1st I'd have to get the cable/fiber company to run something out here, then run a router 24/7/365 eating up more energy, then drop in the smart thermostat that uses even more power than the 2AA thermostat on the wall, and NONE of that would address the major uses of electricity - fridge, dryer, tv.

I've done the math every couple years when various utility offers show up in the mail - NONE of them cut my bills for water, gas, or electricity use, but many of them add costs beyond what I'm paying today.

Can't seem to get why it's so hard?
Walk out of a room, hand turns off the lights. (No automatic switches because they use electricity EVEN when the lights are off.)
Stop using a pc, shutdown.
Don't watch TV, off.

The electric companies would get far more reduction in power usage by simply banning TVs using more than 50 watts, non-hybrid (cool) dryers(huge energy savings vs hot, regular dryers), or even hair dryers (nope, never regularly use one here).

A Kill-A-Watt would be a better "gift" if tied into an incentive program when you reduce home energy use with one.

...

In the end, a few more nuclear power plants up and running while the solar, geo, and wind farms get built out would solve much of the de-coal/gas capacity issue. (Just 10~ nuclear plants per state is all that's needed. Vs the current 12,000 gas/coal/etc electric plants needed across America.)

Quote from _lukas :
I have like 8 zones in my house. Wish I could get this without paying $1000 lol

We have 6.

The limit through our electricity utility is 2/customer/calendar year. (or rather, you can buy more just at full value no discounts).

Our gas provider is different, and their limit is 3/customer/calendar year.

That said, for our home I just asked my inlaw's for their account number, and bought a couple units through their account. They won't use them, had them shipped to their house and everything.

Here in CT, even though these units are $5/ea (just the basic Nest), we pay taxes on the full value of the tstat, so real OOP cost is closer to $15-20 or so.

I don't really like how *basic* the Nest is though; in my previous home (moved in February) I had Sensi ST75's and those were much nicer units and the app looks like it was actually designed by a human. Google Home (the app you use for these tstats) is super basic, very minimalist, and doesn't even offer some basic functionality like trending or the ability to lock out the tstat (helps if you have people in the home that like to play with things, like kids).

Thought about swapping out the Nests for ST75's but they are MUCH more $$ (like $60/ea).

Quote from Clk1986 :
Just be warned, if you previously used your energy provider rebate for a smart thermostat, you likely won't be eligible for the rebate again.

This is a non-issue if your provider has its own marketplace with instant rebates (such as PSE here in WA), because it will tell you that you are ineligible. If you have to submit a rebate manually, you should verify that you are eligible first. If a previous homeowner purchased and installed a smart thermostat and claimed a rebate for it, but then swapped the old thermostat back in when they moved, you might have no idea. However, there might be an exception in that case since you are a new account at that address.

Just something to be aware of. Would have loved to grab the new Ecobee (air quality monitoring built in) for $10 (Manufacturer and utility rebate), but since I bought one 2 years ago, I cannot get the utility rebate. Smoking deal if you are eligible.
Quote from Clk1986 :
But the ecobee and most (if not all) smart thermostats also requires a C-Wire. I wouldn't say "most" people don't have a c-wire either, as the majority of homes (with hvac systems) built in the last 20 years will likely have a C-wire due to updated code requirements and its not any extra work with modern hvac units, but yes the wall adapter is an easy fix if you don't have the c-wire.

That said, the second home we bought had a battery powered, cheap of the cheap builders grade thermostat installed, but still had a functional C-wire, just had to hook it up on the HVAC unit and was good to go.

Bizarre. Eversource (most of New England) is 2/customer/calendar year. CNG (natural gas) is 3/customer/calendar year. Rebates are instant but we do pay tax on the entire MSRP.

As for C-wire you are correct. It amazes me how contractors are so cheap that they won't even run 3 or 4 wire in situations where only 2 wires are required. Yes I understand it's cheaper, but it's pathetically cheaper for how much future-proofing it does.

I am in the process of upgrading the wiring in my new-to-me home to include C wires (boiler heating no AC). All that exists were 2 wire, the zone controller has spots for C on all 8 zones (I only use 6+ HWH) - even on the addition the former owners put in in 2009! How can you not foresee a future where you might have central AC and need more wires? Fortunately the home was built with a central conduit from the basement to attic, so while somewhat a hassle, re-running wire isn't so much a big deal.

I can't say these will save money - but with 6 tstats the practicality of running around the home to manually change setpoints all the time, and routinely checking them to be sure one of the kids didn't jack the dial all the way up, I estimate these will pay for themselves via scheduling alone (all but 1 of the old tstats were the old mercury dial type).

I also have 5 wall-mount minisplits that I use Sensibo for - and that's great albeit expensive option.

Just wish there was a way I could integrate my pellet stove.....

In my case my electricity and gas providers are different here in CT.

For me, even though I don't use electricity at all for heat, I can get tstats through them (2) but I can also get them from the gas provider (3). Prices happen to be the same.

Just remember, there is probably a clause in there that allows the power company to turn off your hvac when they feel it's an emergency... You pay for it by relinquishing some control over your hvac usage.

*might be*

For my utility you can OPT IN to the program that they call "Connected Solutions" where they can set your tstat up in the summer (applies to AC only). They give you $25 to sign up (per account) and $20/tstat enrolled, per year, just for participating (Amazon GC).

Ironically I sold a home last February and disconnected the Sensi's from my control, but I still got the $40 GC this past fall. Huh.

Like Nest but these have been nothing but trouble for many people
Biggest issue I've had is the units bitching about the batteries being low. This is apparently a common problem. The first time it happened I swapped the batteries for *brand new* even though the unit was brand new too. Fine. A week later it was bitching again. WTF, this time I knew the batteries were OK. Long story short, take the batteries out and leave the unit unpowered on the table for like 2 hours. Put batteries back in, plugged back into the wall and they've been fine for a few weeks.

Quote from Tnyc :
Do Nest thermostats work with a gas heating furnace only that needs to be shut down in the summer months? I live in NYC and we only use the gas furnace in the winter to heat the house. There is no common wire for the thermostat either. Also, the current thermostat we have uses two AA batteries to power it so there is no need for a common wire to charge the thermostat. Any advice for my specific case? Thanks!

Yes, that's what I have (gas boiler). You can either turn the system off, or just leave it "on" just the temperature will always be high enough that the tstat just never calls.

That said you do need a C wire, they have c wire kits where you basically run a wire to a local outlet. That option was too ghetto for me so I just ran new wires to the zone controller.

I have all Google stuff, even my phone, so I don't mind it being a little simple. My thermostats literally just have a plastic knob and doesn't tell me the exact temperature, just "low, comfort, hi" that's it.

Unfortunately it's one per customer in WA and says: "Must have a one-thermostat centralized home heating system using a heat pump, forced-air furnace or boiler"

We shut off the gas boiler in the summer, of course. Is there a model that uses batteries instead of a C wire? My current thermostat uses two AA batteries and doesn't require a common wire.
