ecobee鈥檚 smart thermostats are equipped with eco+, a free thermostat optimization feature that adapts to each household鈥檚 schedule for enhanced comfort and reduced energy use.

Customers who are on a time-of-use rate can leverage the eco+ Time-of-Use optimization feature, which intelligently pre-cools the home when electricity is less expensive.
