    Ecobee, the best of all worlds

    The ecobee thermostat is easy to use. I have better control over the temperature in my house based on that I am home, asleep, or away from home. This will help me save in the total cost of my electric bill. I can control the thermostat with my phone, I like that very much. It is connected to my HomeKit from Apple. I can talk to it using Siri. It can detect if I’m away from home. I am contracted with Duke energy so that they can operate more efficiently delivering energy to all homes during periods of high consumption, in the process I get a credit every year $50. The first year after two months of using the smart thermostat, I will receive $150 credit. Every little bit helps! Prior to getting the ecobee, I was a prisoner of having to manually set my thermostat in this limited my ability to save money and also to better set my household up for a comfortable living space. I had no idea how the thermostat would look once it was installed, the person I paid to install the thermostat thought it might look nice without the base plate that came with the thermostat, and he was right! I really like it a lot! I know a lot of people install this themselves in. I’ve heard that it was a fairly easy install, but I am 69 years old and I’m finally more difficult too task myself with doing things like this. The gentleman, installing this explained what he was doing, the set up, it was based on the type/brand of HVAC (heat pump) I was using. I would not have known that if I’ve done this on my own. I would just suggest having someone experience and install it if you are like I am. My brothers could’ve done it, but not me. It did not take long to install the thermostat, once started. I looked at all of the different brands of thermostats, and I liked ecobee a lot in this particular model works with Apple HomeKit, which I liked. The only thing I am upset about with this unit, is that I did not bite the bullet sooner and purchase this. I waited too long! I’m very happy!

    Total Game Changer – Very Comfortable & Easy to In

    I bought the Ecobee thermostat with one sensor from Best Buy, and it has been a complete game changer for our home. It comes with one room sensor, and I decided to place it in my kids’ bedroom because their comfort is my top priority. My bedroom is right next to theirs, so once their room reached the perfect temperature, my room also became comfortable. Now both rooms feel just right at night. The biggest surprise was how easy it was to install. I’m not very handy at all, but I installed it myself without any problems. If I can do it, anybody can do it. The setup was straightforward and much easier than I expected. After installing it, the comfort difference is very noticeable. The temperature control is much better than before, and we are very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend it.

    5 ⭐️ thermostat

    The ecobee Premium Smart Thermostat has been an outstanding upgrade for my home. The touchscreen is bright, responsive, and easy to navigate, and the installation process was straightforward. I especially like how seamlessly it works with Apple HomeKit and Siri giving me the flexibility to control my home’s temperature from my phone or with simple voice commands. The thermostat keeps my home comfortable while helping reduce energy usage by automatically adjusting to my schedule. The built-in air quality monitor and room sensor are great additions that make it feel much smarter than a standard thermostat. The app is intuitive, reliable, and makes it easy to make changes even when I’m away from home. Overall, this is a premium product with excellent smart home integration, a sleek design, and features that genuinely improve comfort and convenience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality smart thermostat.

Questions & Answers

  • Will this work with the variable speed heat pump/air handler system by Lennox?

    Hey there! Great question. ecobee smart thermostats are not directly compatible with variable fan speed systems but they can be made to control these systems with the purchase of additional hardware. To install an ecobee smart thermostat on a system with an Inverter/VRF heat pump, you'll need to buy a special module or adapter. This helps the thermostat talk to the Inverter/VRF heat pump. But remember, setting it up might mean tweaking your system's dip switches or similar settings. Also, be aware that you might not get all the features of your Inverter/VRF system after installing the thermostat. You can learn more about this here: https://bit.ly/43Or9f3
