Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far, so great! Moved to Ecobee from another brand and wish I would have done it sooner. Easy to use, slick interface and loaded with features.

When I initially made the jump from Nest to Ecobee I was hesitant. Nest is familiar. Nest is comfortable. I’m glad I made the leap. Ecobee is intuitive, easy to install, and the sensor functionality - to specifically focus on temperature and occupancy of specific rooms - has been extremely beneficial for us. I’m a big fan. The Eco+ also has saved us a lot of money, and the iPhone widget is very intuitive.

So easy to use! Love the sleek look, the operating system is so simple and gives so much information. Worth every penny!

I started with Ecobee at my business and have now included it at my home. They are user friendly and work great.

Amazing! It was a super easy install and setup. The app works wonderfully and has been so nice to control at any place. I wish I would have gotten this sooner!!

Was relatively easy to install (only if your AC techs put extra wires in for ya). I love being able to set profiles from the app and then never have to adjust the thermostat every night and morning!

Great thermostat to replace the similar priced Nest. The interface is so much easier to use and it works perfect with my furnance.

HomeKit capability works exactly as intended. Very simple to install on your own. I didn’t even have to cut power to the area to do so.

Nice service good products it fit and works perfectly

Easy to install and love the app to control the air.

We have had this unit for about 6 weeks now. It has saved us approx. $20 on our first bills since install and like the smart features that automatically allow it to adjust to temp range.

First time changing a thermostat and other than trying to get it turned on it was an easy set up. Blue wire wasn’t hooked up to our furnace so once I did that it worked! We love it and runs smooth

great product, technically and aesthetically. loved it!

This is a really nice option to add an Ecobee to a location where you don't want to spend the money on the higher end model. We have both, and while the fit and finish on the more expensive one is of course amazing, we needed a less expensive thermostat for this room and the Essential still does the job at half the price.

I prefer the 3 lite but they stopped making those and use these instead. While its still just as functional, its a tad harder to hook up if u need a cwire adapter or anything special.

I brought this fpr a friend, i had one as well. Wonderful device easy to work.

This is my second Ecobee setup. I went with the essentials after my Nest died, and I wanted something that supported HomeKit (Apple). It works well and does the "basic" features well, like changing the temperature from your phone. Additionally, it enables you to establish a routine and set the temperature based on your phone's presence or a pre-set schedule. If this is for an Airbnb or short-term rental, I would recommend installing a few smart sensors so it can detect when someone is home and turn on automatically. Overall, a great entry level smart Thermostat.

I recently installed the ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential, and it's been a solid upgrade for my home’s heating and cooling system.

Great smart thermostat. You will need to train it to accommodate your household. I can also get a credit from your electric company if I allow them to basically "control" the thermostat for saving purposes. Great purchase and easy set-up.

I have not yet installed it but it was recommended by the company that installed my furnace and I am looking forward to the features it says it has. the installation looks easy enough but I will try to update after. I bought it to control my mother's thermostat for her when I am not there.
