Q: Does this require a C Wire ???
A: No, It charges while the appliance (furnace, air conditioner) is running. If you have a slow summer, you can pull it off the wall and charge it manually. The C Wire just supplies energy when not used for a long time.
Q: Do you have to have a Google nest hub to work with this?
A: No. Nest Thermostat E can work on its own. But, having a Google Nest Hub or any other compatible smart speaker and display enables you to control your Nest thermostat using voice command.
Q: Will this work as a heat only thermostat with oil heat?
A: Yes, this will work as a heat only thermostat and it is more helpful if you have a common line. I have 3 Nest thermostats: one controls the HVAC unit by itself for the whole house. And the remaining two Nest thermostats -- one for each zone of heat.
A: It did for my simple 4-wire system. Sometimes if you do not have the c-wire (to power the Nest), the Nest will still work with a work-around wiring, but you may give up the fan-only mode. It's best to use their online compatibility tool or just call them; they picked up quickly, at least for me.
A: Mine did not come with a rebate either; I had to go my utility website to apply.
Q: Will this work on an older two wire furnace?
A: Yes , you have to purchase the nest that is specific for two wire and it works very well . My heat is a forced hot water system. 30 years old and the nest works great .
Q: Will this work with a heat pump system (AC + furnace) that has electric emergency heat backup?
A: The Nest Thermostat E will work with most 24V systems, even older systems. We recommend that you check your system’s compatibility with our online Compatibility Checker here: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat
A: Rebates our on certain products for different zip codes.. I didn't get to use my rebate. When I tried to get my rebate the website wasn't working but I was ready to purchase this for my offices so I moved on. a day later I received 2 coupon codes which they were worthless because after purchase the won't honor a rebate unless you return the item back to the store.
