Even Prefab Homes Are Getting Smarter! Clayton Home Builders Partnership Puts Ecobee Thermostats In All New Units.
Clayton is one of the biggest prefabricated home builders in the country. They are working to place Ecobee smart thermostats on all their new homes. Under the new partnership, all the latest Clayton Homes will come with Ecobee3 Lite thermostats. Those who want Alexa voice-enabled Ecobee4 version will receive it as an upgrade. It is the first prefab home builder to start working with Ecobee. Mattamy Homes, builder of conventional homes, also started working with Ecobee for a similar result.
Ecobee’s Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostats adjust according to the weather conditions and help save a ton of the energy bills. It also allows the user to manage the house temperature remotely via their smartphones or tablets. It can keep the heating and cooling units on lower settings when no one is present in the house, thereby saving energy. It also has vacation mode.
Ecobee offers reports on energy consumption and provides tips to save energy. Room sensors assist the thermostat in making adjustments. It also alerts the user in case of a problem.
Ecobee’s Energy Star-certified thermostats are hard-wired, so having a prefab home with Ecobee already installed means you don’t have to worry about compatibility with a pre-existing climate-control system, or pay for a professional installer.
