Video: Nest Learning Thermostat now available in Canada

The Nest Learning Thermostat, the world's first commercially available learning thermostat, can help save Canadians up to 20 percent on their home heating and cooling bills by automatically turning itself down when you're away, guiding you to energy-efficient temperatures when you're home, and by creating a personalized temperature schedule based on learning your habits.
