We didn’t think thermostats mattered either.
Until we found out they control half of your home’s energy. That’s more than appliances, lighting, TVs, computers and stereos combined.
The problem
89% of programmable thermostats waste energy—about $173 a year, on average. They’re so complicated that most people don’t bother to program them.
What if you did?So we made it simple.
Nest saves energy. Automatically.
All you need to do is change the temperature for a few days to teach Nest. After that Nest Sense™ learns about you and your home and starts activating features to save you more energy.
Auto-Schedule
Most people leave the house at one temperature, day and night. To save energy, Nest learns your schedule and preferences to program itself. Teach Nest well and Auto-Schedule™ could cut 20% off your heating and cooling bill.
Auto-Away
Nest automatically turns itself down when you're away to save energy. Auto-Away works in 90% of homes, even if Nest is in a spot you don't pass on the way out the door. And 75% of homes go into Auto-Away at least once a week.
The Nest Leaf
The Leaf appears when you choose a temperature that will save energy. Changing the temp just one degree can save up to 5% on your energy use.
Airwave
Airwave can cut AC runtime by up to 30% while keeping you perfectly cool. And it happens automatically—all you need to do is get comfortable.
Auto-Tune
Auto-Tune powers two Nest services:
Rush Hour Rewards
Tweaks temperatures during energy rush hours - hot afternoons when everyone turns on cooling at once - so you earn maximum rewards from your energy company.
Seasonal Savings
Fine-tunes your schedule over a few weeks to help you save. Depending on the weather, we've seen Nest users save 5-10% with their tuned-up schedules.

But we didn’t stop there.
Almost all thermostats are made for forced-air systems, but not all systems are forced air. With System Match, Nest activates custom energy-saving features depending on the system you have.
True Radiant
True Radiant is a Nest exclusive that gives you a predictable schedule and even heat. No more frustrating guessing about what temperature to set when.
Learn moreHeat Pump Balance
Nest’s exclusive Heat Pump Balance feature optimizes how often you need to use expensive auxiliary heat. Just choose whether you want more comfort or more savings, and Heat Pump Balance will automatically adjust when AUX comes on.
Learn moreFilter Reminders
Nest keeps track of how long your system has been on and lets you know when your filter needs changing. A dirty filter can cost you 5% more on your heating and cooling bills.
Learn moreHow Nest helps you save.
We looked at a year of data and created three families to illustrate how Nest can help save energy. Like 89% of households, our families rarely or never programmed their previous thermostats. Here’s how they could use Nest to save.

Meet Johnny and Kate.
They have a 3,000 sq.ft. house in Chicago and two kids.
Auto-Schedule
Nest learned from the efficient temperatures Johnny and Kate set—like 66°F/19°C at night in winter—and programmed itself to help them save. Before Nest, Johnny and Kate just left the house at 70°F/21°C year round.
Airwave
Johnny avoids turning on the AC, but Airwave still helps them save on hot afternoons.
Auto-Away
This family doesn't have a regular schedule, so they rely on Auto-Away. Kate sets their Away temperatures to 62°F/16°C in the winter and 82°F/28°C in the summer to save energy.
Meet Angelina and Dillon.
They’re newlyweds in Seattle with a 1,500 sq.ft. condo and no AC.
Auto-Schedule
Angelina used to keep the house at 70°F/21°C all winter. After they got Nest, she started changing the temperature to 65°F/18°C when they were at work or asleep. Now they save energy while their dog stays comfortable.
Filter Reminders
There’s a lot of dog hair in the house, so Angelina and Dillon make sure to change the filter every time Nest reminds them.
Heat Pump Balance
Nest automatically activated Heat Pump Balance in their home, so Dillon moved it from Max Comfort to Max Savings to help them save.
Meet Tina and Joe.
They’re retired in Phoenix in a 2,000 sq.ft. home. Their grandkids often come over in the afternoons.
Airwave
Considering how much AC Tina and Joe need in Phoenix in the summer, Airwave has made a big difference in their bill.
Auto-Away
A couple times a week Tina and Joe go golfing. In the summer they set their Away temp to 79°F/26°C and in the winter to 62°F/16°C to save energy while they're gone.
Auto-Schedule
This summer, Joe looked for the Nest Leaf and turned the temp up to 75°F/25°C instead of their usual 73°F/23°C. Auto-Schedule learned the habit and helps them save.
