Investing in a smart thermostat won’t just keep your home comfortable — it also can help you save money on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. By automating scheduling and learning preferred temperatures, smart thermostats conserve energy and make your home more comfortable. The 2022 Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium might not be the newest option on the market, but to this day, it receives consistently excellent ratings, and right now, it’s $198.99 (originally $249.99) on Walmart, marking its lowest price ever according to price trackers

Ecobee is known for having one of the strongest privacy policies in the smart-home space. The company doesn’t sell personal information, collects minimal data, prioritizes user ownership of data, and supports 2FA for added protection. When paired with Ecobee SmartSensors and an Ecobee SmartCamera, it can also double as a home security hub. 

This model, which earned a PCMag Editor’s Choice award, comes with a smart sensor that balances temperatures in your home using occupancy detection. While the thermostat is smaller than its predecessor, it has a larger four-inch full-color touchscreen that’s bright enough to read from across the room. 

It has a built-in speaker and mic that’s compatible with a wide variety of smart-home ecosystems, letting you listen to music, get news or weather updates, change thermostat settings, and check the temperature in rooms with sensors. You can even monitor air quality with alerts and tips on indoor humidity levels and whether the air quality is clean or poor. All of this is accessible from the Ecobee mobile app.

While the price is higher than a basic smart thermostat, if you want lower energy costs while benefitting from features like measuring air quality, an integrated voice assistant that doubles as a speaker, and remote sensors, the eco-friendly Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is a strong choice that can help you save money in the long-run and make your home more comfortable.
