Can the Nest be used with a Heat Pump? We have a Heat Pump for heating and cooling, is that compatible with the Nest?

Question

YoEddy · Accepted Answer

Yes. I have had a Nest controlling a heat pump with electric backup heat for two years now and it works fine.

yes, had heat pump on old home and new home. it does work and kicks in emergency heat. however, you should always send a picture of your current thermostat wiring to nest via email to confirm everything will work prior to purchase.

It is compatible. Nest offers an online checker to input your color coded wires to ensure compatibility should you want to check for yourself ( https://nest.com/widget/compatibility/ ). Awesome little wonder.
