American Residential Services (ARS), a Memphis, Tenn. based, privately-held national provider of air conditioning, heating and plumbing services, has partnered with Nest Labs to include the Nest Learning Thermostat as a standard component of most of its middle- and upper-tier residential heating and cooling system installations. ARS will also offer professional installation of Nest Thermostats as an optional upgrade when performing service and preventative maintenance in previously installed systems.
“We are delighted to be recognized as a Nest Pro Elite partner across our network of more than 70 service centers," said ARS President and COO Luis Orbegoso. "ARS service centers can now leverage this exciting technology enabling homes to be smarter and more energy-efficient. The benefits that a smart and connected home offers are very compelling. This partnership will allow us to offer even more value to our customers with Nest’s cutting-edge, yet approachable, technology.”
