The more we grow, the greener it gets.

We invented the Smart Thermostat and kicked off a wave of innovation that has changed the way millions of people heat and cool their homes. That was just the beginning.

Transforming everyday life and making a sustainable difference since 2007.

Our smart thermostats save their owners up to 26%* on heating and cooling and offer even bigger savings for the planet. To date:

ecobee Smart Owners have saved the equivalent of 28.8 TWh of electricity, which is like taking all the homes in LA and Chicago off the grid for one year.

By heating homes more efficiently, ecobee thermostats have kept 5.6 million tons of CO2e out of the atmosphere.** That's like removing 1.2 million cars from the road for a year.

Energy conservation
:
Simple changes add up to tons of impact.

The average household in the United States produces 7.5 tons of CO2 per year and over half of the energy used in most homes is for heating and cooling.³

Our ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostats and sensors have been invited into millions of homes because they guarantee lower energy costs by up to 26%* percent. That translates into an average annual saving of $234 per home⁴ and billions of kWh of energy savings for ecobee users.

Building a healthier planet and society

Sustainability is more than energy conservation. We lighten our environmental impact and social impact by using more recycled plastics and materials that are ethically sourced in our products and wrapping them in fully recyclable packaging.

One in three families struggle to pay their utility bills. To help families fighting energy poverty, we have partnered with community housing organizations, cities, NGOs, and utility providers to donate hundreds and subsidize thousands of thermostats.

Welcome to the ecobee Home.

A woman sits on a couch with a dog; an ecobee thermostat is on the wall in the background.

A home that brings harmony to homelife.
As soon as you step out, the ecobee Home can adjust the temperature for energy savings, turn on cameras, secure exits with door and window sensors, and set the lights to make it look like someone’s home.

That helps the community.
To help keep the power flowing during a summer heatwave or winter cold spell, with eco+ ecobee thermostats can automatically adjust the temperature slightly when demand peaks. You’ll be rewarded for pitching in with a rebate from your utility provider.

And is ready for what lies ahead.
Experts say the world must be carbon-neutral by 2050 and that energy efficiency will play a key role. Our eco+ thermostat software intelligently pre-heats or cools the home when power is less expensive and cleaner. This is one way we are using technology to help bring about a brighter future. Learn more about eco+.

To see everything an ecobee Home can do, explore our product solutions.

The most affordable and cleanest energy choice we can make is not to waste it.

¹ Based on internal measurements of thermostat runtime data.

² Per Statista.com the average lifespan of a smartphone in the United States is 3.17 years (https://bit.ly/2QHnhek). Based on internal measurements the average lifespan of an ecobee thermostat is 12 years.

³ Use of energy explained, U.S. Energy Information Administration (https://bit.ly/3wZimpz).

⁴ Per Energy Star (https://bit.ly/3sEoFvo), the average household spends $900 or more on annual heating and cooling costs. By lowering heating and cooling costs by up to 26%*, ecobee thermostats can save owners as much as US$234/CAN$292 annually on their energy bills. With an MSRP of US$169.99/CAN$219.99, the ecobee3 lite can pay for itself in less than a year.
