'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

As an Energy Star certified thermostat, the Google Nest Thermostat has the option to enter Eco mode for optimized energy saving when it detects your phone has left your home. Plus, this certification also means you could find a rebate from your energy provider by simply adding it to your HVAC system.
The Nest Thermostat also monitors eligible heating and cooling system to give you real-time alerts when something isn't running right and reminders when it's time for air filter replacements.
At only $90, this is one of the lowest prices we've ever seen the Google Nest Thermostat go for, with the lowest ever being about $88, so it's definitely a steal.
