As a homeowner, you have many different options when it comes to selecting a thermostat for your HVAC system. While on the surface it may not seem like a big deal as all thermostats will allow you to control the temperature inside your home, the reality is that their differences are vast. More specifically, we’re going to compare the Nuve to the Nest thermostat to determine which one is ideal for your house.
Smart Thermostat Technology
Both Nuve and Nest are smart thermostats that integrate with apps for your smartphone and tablet. This allows you to control settings among many other features from the convenience of your device. Nuve is a new thermostat that was actually designed by HVAC contractors for optimal functionality, while the Nest is a product from Google’s lineup.
Direct Communication With Your HVAC Provider
One of the most significant advantages of the Nuve thermostat over the Nest is that it creates a direct line of communication between you and your HVAC provider. In fact, your HVAC provider can remotely monitor your thermostat to detect potential issues.
Nuve allows your HVAC technician to send you messages about service reminders and membership renewals. Furthermore, when you experience a problem with your HVAC system that requires professional assistance, you can easily request an appointment via your Nuve smart thermostat.
Service Provider’s Information
One particularly obvious benefit of the Nuve thermostat over the Nest is that Nuve has your HVAC service provider’s information directly on its screen. Right in the middle of the bottom, you can simply click the logo to have access to your HVAC provider’s name, phone number, and appointment request button. No longer do you have to worry about trying to remember your HVAC provider’s name, as it’s conveniently placed for you on the Nuve thermostat.
Saved Data for Upgrading
One of the most annoying parts about upgrading to a new thermostat is that you have to go into your new thermostat and put in all of your settings. With a Nuve, upgrading your thermostat is a real breeze. You simply need to input the serial number from your old device, and your new Nuve thermostat will be updated with all of your old device’s settings. This can save you a lot of time when it comes to upgrading.
Home Display Screen Information
When you compare the Google Nest thermostat to the Nuve thermostat side by side, one of the most glaring differences is the home display screen. The Nest has a fairly simple screen with a large type for the temperature. This is great for reading the temperature quickly. However, you must go into the app’s quick menu to get all the necessary data about air quality, humidity levels, and so forth.
The beauty of the Nuve thermostat is that you get an easy-to-read display screen alongside multiple important markers all on the home screen. These include the temperature reading, relative humidity level, fan setting, your HVAC contractor’s name, and even information about your upcoming service appointment. There’s no need to go through menus and countless screens to see all the usable information you need.
Benefits Both Thermostats Offer
Both of these thermostats offer users the capability of reducing their household’s energy usage throughout the year. By being able to program set schedules that minimize energy consumption when you’re away from home, such as when you’re at work, you can avoid running your system and wasting energy. This leads to lower energy and utility bills for homeowners who take advantage of the scheduling features of these devices.
Another advantage of using these smart thermostats is they give you the capability of remotely controlling and monitoring your thermostat. If your plans change, you can easily alert the settings on your thermostat to ensure your house is comfortable when you arrive. Furthermore, both devices provide you with diagnostic tools that let you know when something is malfunctioning in your system. This can be exceedingly helpful so that you can have the problem addressed by your HVAC service provider as quickly as possible. Both units even integrate with whole-home humidifiers, occupancy sensors, and other smart devices to create added convenience for you.
