In Southern California, Irvine Company Apartment Homes<\/a> has installed 24,276 Nests in their apartment homes. If you have an apartment or home with a Nest thermostat, you may be wondering how to use it. Your Nest thermostat has features that can consistently regulate the temperature of your home. For instance, Early-On pre-heats or cools to reach your optimal temperature by a time you select. You can also set Safety Temperatures, which prevent your home from going above or below certain temperatures. There\u2019s also a handy Nest app, so you can control the temperature of your home anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n
