Setting Your Weekly Schedule

Your heating and cooling needs change depending on the time of day, day of the week, as well as when you are home or away. For example, if there’s no one in the house during the workday you might want to let the temperature go up in the summer, to reduce energy used by the air conditioning system, and down in the winter, to reduce heating energy. The ecobee3 adapts to how your home and heating and cooling equipment perform. Intelligent algorithms combine weather data, your equipment run times and occupancy schedules to optimize performance and maximize energy savings. This means you can be comfortable when you are home and save money when you are not.
