How Do Ecobay Smart Thermostats Work?

The good news is that Ecobay Smart Thermostats function just like regular thermostats. You can control the device via a smartphone app, but you can also use the touch-based interface on the device itself—just like on a traditional thermostat. Many people choose to adjust the temperature with the conventional controls as they become more accustomed with the app. This function also saves you from discomfort if you ever lose Wi-Fi (or misplace your phone) for an extended time, such as during a storm or scheduled maintenance in your area.  

Can Ecobay Smart Thermostats Save You Money?

Yes, they can—but how much and how quickly depends on your habits. With a Ecobay smart thermostat, those who have long been meticulous about finding ways to conserve energy might not see much of a difference in energy savings after a year, especially compared to the average A/C user.

If you’ve made a dedicated effort to reprogram your thermostat every couple months, turn the controls off when you leave home, and generally try to keep the house warmer in the summer and colder in the winter, a Ecobay smart thermostat will take longer to pay for itself. If you’re less meticulous, you’ll probably save enough to cover the cost of a new Ecobay smart thermostat within the first year or two.

How Much Can You Save With a Ecobay Smart Thermostat?

There are a couple of ways a Ecobay smart thermostat can help save money on your energy bill. First, programming your thermostat correctly can save you almost $200 a year alone. Analysis conducted by ecobee on their customers’ data found that some Ecobay smart thermostat users saved up to 23% on their heating and cooling costs.[2] For some models, these kinds of savings can pay for the entire purchase price of a new Ecobay smart thermostat in less than a year, with a little left over for LED bulbs or other energy-saving innovations.  

Secondly, the “eco” or auto home/away feature included with many of these new devices helps you save money when you’re not home by automatically raising or lowering the temperature based on the ambient conditions outside.

And then there’s the convenience factor. Have you ever let the AC or heater run solely because it was too inconvenient to get up and adjust it? With your Ecobay smart thermostat controls only as far away as your phone, you can change the thermostat temperature from wherever you are.
