Just received my Zigbee module & SmartPlug! Setup was easy as 1-2-3, and everything works fine.
G.R., Homeowner
I love my Ecobee system. It’s installed at my 2nd home on the lake. I can turn my air conditioner on, and when I get there the house is nice and cool. Same for the winter. Wish I had this years ago.
D.S., Homeowner
ecobee was our choice...it surpassed the others. Did my research and I was convinced that my home and we were deserving! Can I say..."EXCITED". No more cold and hot sweats waiting for temperatures to rise & fall! Love it! Thank you...ecobee & Holistic Home Energy Service...we're always connected!
B.W., Homeowner
New user, I am impressed with this very easy to use either from the web or on the thermostat.
Homeowner
I wanted to take a quick moment to thank you for the GREAT Customer Service that ecobee provided to me. All my questions were answered in a timely manor and the communication were great. Keep up the good work! In addition, I plan to recommend ecobee to all my family and friends.
R.R., Homeowner
I love my ecobee thermostats - I have two and in the first year of having them I saved enough money on my oil bill to pay for my thermostat.
A.G., Homeowner
I’ve had my ecobee for about six months now. I always had a programmable thermostat, but I really didn't utilize it because it was so hard to program. I use the smart phone app all the time to change my settings. I'm a believer in this product. No other thermostat can do what this one can!!
B.H., Homeowner
What a product… I have shown it to lots of people and every single one has been blown away! Wow is all I can say, you guys took something very boring and made it exciting/cool! The controls are very intuitive and gorgeous to look at. The feature set that it offers are amazing as they are powerful, I am in love with the overcool to dehumidify option. With that single feature alone it insures me that my hardwood will last me a very long time and protects my warranty. The whole device has a very Apple feel/design to it, everything is extremely well thought out and balanced. When it is lit-up on my wall it looks like it is from 15 years in the future! Don't even get me started about the iPhone app which my wife is in love with! Look on the App Store and see the program interfaces your competition uses, they just don't get "it" like you guys do. Just because it is something mechanical doesn't mean it can't be polished and perfected as you guys have.
D.U., Homeowner
Used our ecobee to turn on the home AC when we were leaving our boat. By the time we got home - the house was nice and cool! We LOVE ecobee!!!

We currently have 18 ecobee EMS thermostats installed at a number of our commercial properties in several locations. Because our properties are located across 5 states, we especially love the remote connectivity and the fact that we can group together and control multiple thermostats right from the Web Portal. One thing that really sets ecobee apart from the rest is their superior customer service. Not once did we ever have to wait on hold, and we were really impressed by the level of HVAC and product knowledge the Customer Support Representatives have. As an analyst, I personally love the fact that I can monitor the HVAC reports online and export them to an excel spreadsheet to share with my colleagues. We’re very happy with our decision to go with ecobee.
Andrew Spilseth,

I have 9 ecobee thermostats across 3 properties and love your product.
Roger, Commercial Customer
We opted for the ecobee EMS thermostats as opposed to a Building Automation System in our 11,000 sq/ft 2-storey church due to the significant cost savings we were able to realize with ecobee. The ability to control our facility’s heating and cooling system anytime, from anywhere, and the superior customer service we received was icing on the cake. The installation couldn’t have been smoother - it took our HVAC contractor less than half a day to install all 8 EMS thermostats in our facility. We highly recommend the ecobee EMS product for other churches and religious facilities like ours
Larry Conrad, Trinity Lutheran Church
“The Westside School District installed a total of 548 ecobee EMS thermostats in 10 elementary schools and 1 District office over a year ago. We’re now able to control the heating and cooling systems for every one of our schools from anywhere with an internet connection, which saves us an enormous amount of time and manpower. Many of our schools are comprised of 40% portables, and since there was no Cat 5 wire to install—it was a perfect solution for us. Not only was ecobee a significantly lower-cost alternative to a Building Automation System, it saves us a great deal of money on energy each month. We’re currently building two more schools in our District, and we will be outfitting both with ecobee EMS thermostats. I highly recommend the ecobee EMS product for other schools and school districts who are interested in saving money and reducing their environmental impact.”
Bob Abel
Assistant Superintendant
Westside School District
The online web portal is revolutionary and is just as simple to navigate as the thermostat itself.
Joe, Contractor
The ecobee thermostat and iPhone app was worth every penny. My wife tells me on every trip to the vacation home what a great purchase it was.
R.B., Homeowner
I love ecobee because it is WiFi and I can check everything online. Any computer, anywhere, I can check and modify my program. I love it even more because we are saving money with a more efficient thermostat. The touch screen is an added bonus!
M.Y., Homeowner

My thermostat just emailed me to tell me it was unusually hot in my summer home. I ♥ Ecobee!
D.W., Homeowner
On my third month... Each month after the install, I have averaged a savings of at least $100 in electric bill... It has fully paid for itself already. It replaced another brand of "computer controlled" thermostat...
G.M., Homeowner
How cool is this? I installed my new Smart SI thermostat in less than an hour including the wifi/internet setup. Incredibly easy & powerful. Gives me remote control/access to my home’s HVAC system for peace of mind while I’m away. I just ordered a 2nd unit. What a bargain! Another small point- no batteries!!!! I’ve had other units batteries go dead ending up cooking the house. No batteries to remember to change every year take the last bit of worry out of my system. Thanks for making such a great product!
B.S., Homeowner
Our ecobee has saved us from major issues twice this year, one with heat and one with AC. Both times when the furnace malfunctioned we received emails notifying us of a problem. Since we don't reside at the house on a full time basis, it was nice to be informed before a major issue occurred.
N.R.,Homeowner
100 reasons why I love my ecobee :) -- Number #57 I love being able to lay in bed and turn on my air conditioning! Thank you ecobee
M.GS., Homeowner
Love my Ecobee. Installed it over a year ago. I am on a monthly pay plan with Union gas and prior to installation I was paying $109. My monthly payment is now down to $80. Way to go Ecobee.
G.T., Homewoner
We def­i­nite­ly ap­pre­ci­ate the ecobee, and you will too - es­pe­cial­ly if you want to man­age your home tem­per­a­ture in an eco-friend­ly way.
Truly Indoors
Integrating smart technology into home energy and heating/cooling systems is a no-brainer. Few tools make it easier to save money and conserve resources without lifting a finger or remembering a thing. The ecobee Smart Thermostat is one such low-maintenance tool—a wi-fi enabled device that lets you monitor and control your home heating and cooling system from anywhere.
Dwell
I finally got a chance to get my ecobee Smart thermostat installed and I am very impressed! Not only does the touch screen thermostat look pretty cool and is easy to interface with, but the personalized web portal is amazing.
Mapawatt
There are plenty of programmable thermostats on the market. But, if the interface feels like you are looking for a secret passage in an old Donkey Kong game then they are useless. The ecobee Smart Thermostat is designed so that you can actually use it. It makes your home comfort intuitive and simple to control. The feature that puts all those hair-pulling, crazy-making thermostats to shame is the ecobee’s ability to remotely control your heating and air conditioning system from your smart phone or tablet. Forgot to turn down the thermostat after leaving for vacation? No problem. Crank up the ecobee app and program your HVAC to save some energy and money while you’re gone and give you comfort the moment you return home.
Old House Web
Love the ecobee thermostats, I have two. I recommend it to anyone with commercial buildings especially apartments. One of my thermostats would not connect to the internet anymore, they sent me another one right away. Good service and Merry Christmas to everyone at ecobee.
A.G., Business Owner
I wanted to start by saying thank you for an excellent product. I am an HVAC technician by trade so I am familiar with a wide selection of WiFi thermostats but I think you offer the best product at this time and for a pretty reasonable cost compared to the alternatives. I only recently installed the Ecobee Smart Thermostat in my home to replace my Honeywell TH8320 which I installed with my new system in 2005 and I am very happy with it. I am trying to get our church to replace a few stats with these as well so I don't have to go there every time I need to make a temporary programming change.
P.L., Contractor
I put 20 at a private school in Houston Texas. The electric bill dropped an average of $3000 a month since June! I would suggest everyone get an ecobee.
Elite Comfort AC, Contractor
We love our ecobee Smart Thermostat. We have two homes and split time between them. So it is great to be able to access and set the thermostat remotely.
John, Homeowner
I love being able to change the "resting temperature" of my lake house when I am in Chicago and about to drive 82 miles up in the middle of the winter. Also terrific to get reminders to change filters, to get serviced, and to know the outside temperature when I'm inside. Well worth it!!
N.F., Homeowner
I love my ecobee!
D.N., Homeowner
The ecobee Smart Thermostat is extremely accurate and has a fast response whenever I give it a command. When I change the temperature on the web portal, it is an instaneous change on the thermostat and vice versa.
Homeowner
This is the greatest thing for houses where you are only there on the weekend.
G.D., Homeowner
We just wanted to say we have had my ecobee for a week, and it works flawless. The web interface is completely user friendly and accurate. We have a 40 year old boiler and a 20 year old A/C, and I never thought I would be controlling them wireless from my phone and PC. We couldn't be happier with this thermostat! Thanks for having such an awesome product!
Homeowner
Where has this thing been all my life? I should have bought one when it first came out! Give us more add ons like the SmartPlug!!!
R.V., Homeowner
Abilene Texas has an entire new housing development using ecobee - You should come here and see how your units keep up with the Texas summer heat!

I am very impressed that the Smart Thermostat has figured out the way my house operates. It now understands how long it takes to heat up my house and knows when to begin heating.
Homeowner
Just a testimony to how awesome a thermostat the ecobee is…it is so awesome that my wife asked for it in the divorce settlement! Seriously!
Homeowner
My grandson just installed ecobee in our house down the beach. It's just wonderful to turn in on when we leave for the beach. It's nice an cool when we arrive.
Love it!
C.G., Homeowner
In August I upgraded to an ecobee (residential model). It is a great product and enjoy both using it and showing it off. It has truly made a difference in the way I manage my HVAC, and given me huge peace of mind when away from home.
Mike, Homeowner
My favorite thing? Warming up the master bedroom from my iPhone when heading home in the evening on a cold winter day. And vice versa...
L.S.R., Homeowner
We installed 32 ecobee EMS thermostats in our 100,000sq/ft church, and within weeks of the installation we’ve seen a significant amount of energy savings. I can control all 32 thermostats right from my iPad, and I receive Alerts right away if there is an issue with our HVAC equipment so there are no surprises when I get in to work. I can honestly say that ecobee has improved my quality of life.

When I was looking for a programmable thermostat I didn't find anything that even came close to being as functional as the ecobee.
Giancarlo Gallo,
Operations – Metalworks
14 ecobee EMS thermostats were installed in our 80,000 sq/ft church in June 2011, and we saw a reduction of nearly 50% in our energy costs within the first two months. We saved so much so quickly, our utilities company even contacted us to find out how! They’ve now taken us off their demand rating system so we are able to reap the benefits of preferred energy rates. We’re installing 11 more EMS thermostats this spring.
Mike Strope,
First Assembly of God
We decided to try out the ecobee EMS product for our 135,000 sq/ft furniture retail location in St. Louis, Missouri in January 2011. Right away, we were able to track an energy savings of 25-30% month over month, which equated to huge cost savings. We were so impressed by
the product, and the savings we received, that we made the decision to outfit our other 4 furniture retail locations in the St. Louis area with a total of over 135 ecobee EMS thermostats. Along with the tremendous cost savings we’re enjoying, I can control the heating and cooling for each of my locations all from my ecobee Web Portal which saves me tons of time. We are very happy with our decision to go with ecobee.

I wanted to take a quick moment to thank you for the GREAT Customer Service that ecobee provided to me. All my questions were answered in a timely manor and the communication were great. Keep up the good work! In addition, I plan to recommend ecobee to all my family and friends.
R.R., Homeowner
I am putting a lot of stake in the Smart Thermostat and I predict that it will increase my business dramatically. It gives me a one up on the competition right now and I am working hard to get it in as many homes as possible.
Contractor
I am using the Smart Thermostat as a retention tool. It is great that you can insert your company information in the thermostat and it appears whenever an alert is sent. It is one of the best features that the thermostat has over the competition.

Clearly ecobee is the way of the future.
J.W., Homeowner
Ecobee is AWESOME! Purchased when we got our new heating and AC system. Perfect to control your house setting when you are out of town, delayed or the weather changes unexpectedly.
L.M., Homeowner
Ecobee is a fantastic addition to our summer home allowing us to remotely set the indoor temperature so it is perfect when we arrive! No more waiting for the house to warm up or cool down! It provides peace of mind with any related issues as we receive e-mail alerts notifying us of any problems with the system. Absolute best investment!!!!!
D.K., Homeowner
Holy smokes this thing is amazing! I've been using a programmable thermostat for years, but I've never seen this kind of customization flexibility...
D.B., Homeowner
I've always believed that the true colors of a company is the after sale service. In this respect, ecobee has been first rate.
Homeowner
The ecobee Smart Si lives up to the name. It’s Smart! It does what it promises and then some! First and foremost, I truly love the fact that you don’t have to pay for the service. The information the Smart Si gathers is valuable, and is available when you are away from your home. You can quickly see how long your heating/cooling system was on while you are away, and monitor the current/past temperature at a glance. There is a very small learning curve. If you want the ability to view/change your thermostat anywhere you have internet access, I highly recommend ecobee’s Smart Si. I give the ecobee Smart Si thermostat a 5-Star Rating!

ecobee’s products are so much more than the device mounted on the wall. There’s a full suite of tools available through an online portal, as well as mobile apps for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.

It looks a lot cooler than my thermostat, but that’s not the only reason to love ecobee. In addition to its modern look and simple touch screen programming, the ecobee is designed to save you time, energy, and money. Green made easy, this thermostat was designed in partnership with homeowners and HVAC technicians and made to reduce your environmental impact.

I have been enjoying my two Ecobee thermostats for over 18 months. One of them has a sensor module module with a flush-mounted sensor. The other one will soon have the same. I love them. No more complaining from my wife!

We've been living with our ecobee Smart Thermostat for over a week, now, and we're still delighted. This has to be one of the most thoughtfully designed products of any sort on the market.

Great remote tool for both monitoring and managing the climate of our home. Can't wait to use a Smart Plug to get our hot water tank online increasing our already terrific results!
T.K., Homeowner
Great thermostat. Had it 2 years. Just ordered the Smart Plug starter kit too!
H.L., Homeowner
What a great product! it performs as is stated. nothing better than turning on the ac from my iphone and coming home to a cool house!
T.Y., Homeowner
The features of the thermostat are excellent. I use the alerts, especially the filter change, and it works great. I use the weather function everyday. It is a fantastic feature to have on something that measures temperature.
Homeowner
Aesthetically, it looks great and is a conversation piece whenever someone comes into the house.

ecobee rocks worth the money made it easy to find energy misuses in my hvac and home. Also the ability to lock the temp adjustment range makes it great when the wife complains about too cold or hot she can't swing temp too far...

I love the ecobee stat - best thing since sliced bread.
A.S., Homeowner
Just wanted to thank you for being such a great company. I show your thermostat to my friends and tell them about the benefits of having your product. The tablet app reflects your dedication. Don't have a tablet, but it's nice to know if I do get one I can access my home thermostat with it.Thanks!

We recently completed the installation of 48 ecobee EMS thermostats at each of our 40 Midwest Cellular retail locations. Our stores are located across 3 states, so we used to have to send someone out to each location twice a year to ensure there were no issues with the HVAC equipment. With the ecobee EMS thermostats, we can control all of our retail locations right from the secure ecobee Web Portal. Now, we know we are always saving the most amount of energy possible –and that’s a great feeling.
Terry Claypool, Midwest Cellular
We found the interface extremely intuitive and easy to understand. And the ecobee customer service team was a pleasure to work with incredibly responsive and helpful.

You guys are one of a kind - that's a good thing! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm very excited to start using this smart device.

I love my ecobee! I love the remote access, the FREE Web Portal, and the energy reports. I think it is an amazing thermostat. Eventually, I am going to install remote sensors to monitor room temperature fluctuations and moisture by my water heater and RO system! It is a great product and value!
M.G., Homeowner
I purchased my ecobee when I had my Air Conditioning system replaced in our home in Florida. On a daily basis I can adjust my settings for a 50% savings throughout the summer months in energy costs. Home automation and remote control is the way forward, well done ecobee!!

I am SO HAPPY to have ecobee thermostats on both floors of my home, and a smart plug controlling the downstairs humidifier. It makes me wonder how I ever managed humidity in any type of energy efficient way while I was not at home (I didn't really).
Homeowner
Was a pleasure dealing with you yesterday and have been just so impressed on the overall team at Ecobee, I see a great future for your product and especially with such support for us Contractors!

I am a commercial building automation tech and I bought this for my home. It ROCKS!
D.E., Homeowner
We chose ecobee for our 1.7 million square foot grocery warehouse location in Denver, Pennsylvania and the system paid for itself within the first week of being installed! The installation of the ecobee EMS thermostats was quite simple to do—pretty impressive considering the complexity of the equipment we were working with. The User Interface is so simple and easy to use—I log onto my ecobee Web Portal at least once a day, and can troubleshoot issues from anywhere. I used to have to walk from one end of the building to another if I wanted to make a temperature adjustment, shut fans on or off, or troubleshoot an issue. Now, I can do it all remotely from anywhere there’s an internet connection, even on my iPad.
Eric Strunk, Facility Maintenance Supervisor, SUPERVALU®
The main feature we love though of this thermostat is of course that it is WiFi enabled and we can change and monitor it from anywhere. I wish we would have had this a few months ago when we were coming back from vacation to a 84 degree house. Overall, I wouldn’t go back to a regular thermostat. I Love the ease of the ecobee Smart Si.
Mom and More
I’ve been very happy with both ecobee thermostats, and I think the new Smart Si thermostat is one of the best options on the market.

Unlike any other programmable thermostat on the market, the ecobee Smart Thermostat empowers homeowners to manage their home energy consumption via the Internet. Through Wi-Fi technology, this real-time functionality allows users to control home temperature from anyplace at any time. So if you go on vacation and forget to program your thermostat before you leave, you can do it remotely.

The ecobee Smart Thermostat is an advanced temperature control system for your home, which makes it easier to save energy through having more control of your central heating system. The ecobee allows you to set up highly specific schedules for your heating and cooling systems, rather than the twice-daily on/off settings that exist on most central heating controls.

ecobee is ahead of its time & is a must have thermostat with top functionality with ease of use!
