Default Nest and Ecobee

Love them both. I have the Nest and my daughter has the Ecobee.

I installed the Nest a year after installing the Rinnai condensing boiler. The boiler has an outside sensor and its own sophisticated algorithm that adjust the baseboard temperature based on the outside and inside temperature. It is so slick that I never notice temperature swings in the house.

After the installation I have seen little difference in efficiency, perhaps because the Rinnai is efficient (95.5).

I bought the Nest at Home Depot for $140, (a return). Sent in the energy rebate of $100. Not bad for a Wi-Fi thermostat!
