How Can Google Help Lower Utility Bills In Phoenix AZ?

You know that here at Aaron’s Mechanical Services we are big fans of using programmable thermostats to help control energy use and utility bills here in the Valley of the Sun.  Using a programmable thermostat can really be effect in lowering your APS or SRP bills during the summer cooling season in the Phoenix Metro Area.

In recent news Google has purchased what is arguably the best of the breed, the Nest smart thermostat.

Google has just purchased Nest Labs, the maker of the Nest Learning Thermostat and Protect smoke detector, for $3.2 billion in cash. According to a Google press release, Nest will continue to operate independently, said co-founder and CEO Tony Fadell; co-founder Matt Rogers will also make the move to Google. While the transaction is subject to the usual regulatory review, Google says it expects the sale to close within the next few months. Google Ventures had already invested tens of millions of dollars in Nest, so the company has been on Mountain View's radar for some time now.

It's not yet clear exactly how Google plans to use Nest, but the company obviously sees it as an important part of its future. A combination of Nest's home solutions coupled with Google's language recognition could give Google its strongest path yet into your home.

Nest has published a Q&A with Rogers that reveals some detail on how this new partnership will change things with the company. For starters, Nest confirms that it'll continue to support Apple and iOS products going forward — not a huge surprise, given that Google's been putting out solid versions of its apps and services for iOS for some time now. Warranties will stay the same, and Nest products will still continue to be sold at retail (though there's no word on whether or not they'll be on sale at Apple stores).

Unsurprisingly, the company is remaining coy about how it'll integrate with Google's existing product lineup. "Nest's product line obviously caught the attention of Google and I'm betting that there's a lot of cool stuff we could do together, but nothing to share today," writes Rogers. He did address any potential concerns about Nest's customer data being opened up to Google for advertising or other purposes.

Google is a global technology leader focused on improving the ways people connect with information. Google’s innovations in web search and advertising have made its website a top internet property and its brand one of the most recognized in the world.

We hope that the end result of all this high tech and high finance will be a better product to help homeowners keep their utility bills under control.
