Q: QuestionHow do you fix the heat problem, my thermostat reads 7 to 10 degrees warmer than actual room temp I have a three wire system and even the base is warm Temperature test was performed with four other thermostats all reading within 2 degrees

Asked 3 years ago by Oldschool.

• A:Answer There can be several reasons why this may be happening. A difference of a couple of degrees is acceptable as your benchmarking temperature on the Nest Thermostat. But greater differences do need attention. Below are some steps that may help you with the issue: - Restart the thermostat. A restart should be sufficient to re-calibrate them and show an accurate value. - Nest thermostats in the U.S. and Canada are typically installed on a wall. Check for proximity of the thermostat to: air vents / electrical outlets / appliances / plumbing (hot water pipes) / warm air in the wall behind the thermostat. This may also affect the reading for the temperature. - Some wireless access points cause the Nest thermostat’s wifi chip to overheat, which affects the thermostat’s detected ambient temperature. We can disconnect the network for 24 hours and monitor the temperature. If the issue persists, we'd like to take a look at it for further examination, so that we can offer a resolution.

Asked 4 years ago by bree.

This question was asked about the related product: Google - Nest Thermostat - Programmable Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat - Snow

• A:Answer Not sure how much it will save but we enjoy being able to set it from our cell phones. It does seem to be more efficient though. You can set up a schedule for every day of the week so at times when you are not home it will automatically set the temps to what you want them set at.

Q: QuestionI want to remotely monitor the temperature in my attic, without connection to an HVAC system. Assuming the Nest thermostat is properly powered using an external transformer, can it be used for this purpose?

Asked 4 years ago by MonitorAtticTemp.

This question was asked about the related product: Google - Nest Thermostat - Programmable Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat - Snow

• A:Answer Unfortunately, Nest Thermostat won’t work with that setup. You can only monitor your Nest Thermostat on the app once it is properly installed, which is connected to your HVAC system, connected to your Wi-Fi network, and successfully added on the app.
