Rheem has formed a partnership with ecobee to launch the ecobee Smart Thermostat Lite | Works with EcoNet Technology.
This innovative solution delivers energy savings, seamless compatibility, and enhanced convenience for homeowners and contractors.
VP of product development at ecobee, Dev Balla, said the company is proud to work with world class partners to deliver scalable solutions that meet contractor needs and delight homeowners.
"This collaboration combines Rheem's expertise in innovative heating and cooling solutions with ecobee's leadership in smart home technology. The result is a thermostat that integrates with EcoNet Technology to seamlessly optimise home comfort,” he said.
Key product features include:
- Simple to install: Configuration options that ensure contractors can confidently help homeowners get the most out of their heating and cooling system.

With the addition of contactor contact information on the ecobee thermostat, homeowners have added peace of mind knowing they can quickly make contact if ever needed.
- ENERGY STAR® certified efficiency: Homeowners can save up to 23% on heating and cooling costs annually, with potential savings of up to $250 per year.*
- Smart home integration: Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Alarm.com for effortless control.
- Sustainability: Features like eco+ and eco-friendly packaging help reduce environmental impact.
- Ease of use: Intuitive homeowner touchscreen and ecobee consumer app allow for temperature control and energy tracking anytime, anywhere.
ecobee Smart Thermostat Lite | Works with EcoNet Technology is designed to work seamlessly with non-communicating residential heating and cooling systems from Rheem brands, including Rheem, Ruud, and Friedrich.
Rheem's EcoNet infrastructure enables physical and digital products to connect and communicate with each other within a single ecosystem.
A new family of digital tools, Rheem's soon-to-be-debuted TotalView, will enable near-real-time monitoring and configuration of EcoNet-connected products from anywhere with Internet access.
This compatibility ensures homeowners can enjoy a fully connected system that enhances comfort and efficiency, while contractors benefit from simplified installations and reliable performance.
