Google Nest Thermostat Do or Dont

For a while now I have spoken about the items that I use in my home and for my workouts and different things that are technologically inclined. So today I would like to do a review of the Google Nest Learning Thermostat. Now We have had ours since November of 2019 (Yes, We bought it on sale during Black Friday) So it has been installed since then. That’s 6 months of use.

I personally dont think about the thermostat or really what temperature it is in the house as I usually am freezing and have a blanket on me. The only time I really seem to notice the temperature is when I am sitting at my computer and that has been quite frequently of late.

Anyway. We thought about this purchase for about a year before we went ahead and bought one. I watched countless YouTube videos on it and review after review. Everyone seemed to be saying that it saved them money or how easy it was to set up.

I decided along with my boyfriend that we should get one to save money. Since we pay the electric bill and we are always trying to save money, we should invest in something that makes the bill that much smaller.

Now before I go any further, I want to mention that I live in South Florida…So its hot here 99.99% of the time. We personally dont have much use for Heat. So I can’t comment on how that part of this device works. But we do have a use for Cooling.

Now a large part of any electric bill is going to be your air conditioner, Especially in Florida.

So back to it. We installed this nifty little device in about 30 minutes. We set it up on the Google Home app and waited. Now I dont have all the bills lined up in a row and I am not going to post my billing information online. But I will tell you.

In November of 2019 our electric bill hovered around 230.00. After having the Nest Thermostat installed for one month… our electric bill dropped to 190.00. That’s including having the Christmas tree up and also the lights on all the time, cause come on Ya’ll its Christmas!

By the second month (January) our electric bill dropped to 170.00. Now that is with no other changes besides the Nest Thermostat being installed. It has held steadily around there since then too. But now we are going into the Summer and that usually tends to get hot.

So we will see how we do. I think we will be utilizing the Fan Feature more often than the air to keep the energy bill down but I honestly dont think it will rise that much if it goes up any.

I personally had never seen an electric bill that was around 250.00 till I moved in to the house that I am in right now. It was amazing to watch what one simple thing could change. I was not shocked but I was excited to see that we had an extra 60.00 in our savings. That may not seem like a lot of money but it can add up.
