Your thermostat controls the biggest energy hog in your home — your HVAC system. So choosing the right smart thermostat can mean big savings, especially if you have solar or battery backup. In this video, I compare the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium with the Google Nest Learning Thermostat to see which one delivers the best comfort, energy efficiency, and smart home compatibility. From AI learning vs precision control, to compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Alexa, and even integration with Flair Smart Vents for targeted heating and cooling — we break down all the key differences so you can choose the one that fits your lifestyle. We’ll also look at how each thermostat handles time-of-use pricing, solar credit optimization, and battery management so you can avoid burning through your stored energy or racking up utility costs during peak hours.
