    Nest Thermostat

    Save 10-15% on heating and cooling.

    1. Cost

    $130 for the basic Nest. Many utilities give $50-100 rebates so it's nearly free.

    2. Pro install

    Hire an electrician for $100 if your old thermostat is complicated. Worth peace of mind.

    3. Google Home app

    Free app on phones. Adjust temperature from anywhere — even traveling.

    4. Schedule

    Set warmer when you're awake, cooler when you sleep. Saves on the bill.

    5. Voice control

    Hey Google, set thermostat to 72. Works with Alexa and Apple Home too.

    6. Energy report

    Email each month shows how much you ran the AC and how to save more.

    Pair with a smart vent or zone system for even more control. Or keep it simple — works great alone.
