Generac Power Systems, Inc. has announced a new version of the ecobee Smart Thermostat, now with added home energy management features. This product is named the ecobee by Generac Smart Thermostat. The announcement was made on May 19, 2025. The new thermostat is built to help users manage their home heating and cooling in a way that can save energy and possibly lower power bills.
The ecobee by Generac Smart Thermostat offers more than just basic temperature control. It connects to a home’s Wi-Fi and can be controlled through a mobile app. The new features focus on home energy management, which means the thermostat can keep track of how much energy is being used for heating and cooling. It can also work with other Generac products, including backup generators and battery storage, to help people use their home energy in a smarter way.
This product also has the ability to respond to signals from the power grid. For example, during times when many people are using a lot of power, the thermostat can help lower energy use by making small changes to the temperature settings. This can help reduce strain on the grid and may lead to savings for the homeowner if they are part of a utility program.
The ecobee by Generac Smart Thermostat is designed to work with many types of home heating and cooling systems. It comes with sensors that can be placed in different rooms to help keep temperatures steady throughout the house. The setup process is meant to be simple, and the mobile app offers step-by-step instructions. The app also lets users set schedules, check on their home’s temperature when they are away, and get reminders for things like changing air filters.
Generac points out that this thermostat is part of their larger plan to offer products that help people manage their home’s energy use. By connecting smart thermostats, generators, and battery storage, Generac hopes to give customers more control over how they use power at home. The new ecobee by Generac Smart Thermostat is now available for purchase, and more information can be found on the Generac website.
