Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: - gives monthly reports of usage. - It knows when you are away (motion detection) and reduces the temp automatically to save power - easily connect to WIFI - Control your thermostat from anywhere - Fairly easy to install a C wire for charging. Cons: - cost - works best with a C wire for charging the battery. Some setups don't have an extra wire to be used for charging. This is the 2nd Nest Thermostat I purchased. I had to install a C wire for each Nest I installed because my setup did not have an extra wire and I live in an area that can get extremely cold in the winter. It was as simple as running a new 5 wire thermostat cable through the holes that already had my existing thermostat wiring. Then I found the C terminal on my furnace and attached the wiring to it.

This unit was really easy to install following the included instructions and everything needed for the job was included in the kit. The design looks really great on our wall and the interface is so simple and intuitive it makes it easy to use. The data you can get from it about energy usage in the house is a real eye opener too.

I had to replace my old Gen 1 Nests due to a surge from lightning. I don’t see any difference betweeen these and my old ones because the the new features aren’t really helpful to me. However, these are reliable, always connected and I can easily change any settings from my phone. I don’t use the learn option. I set a schedule and let the schedule run everything. I think the learn option would be too much to have to think about (constantly changing the temperature). One of the best options is the home/away setting and using our cell phones to alert the system when we are home or away. When our cell phones leave the WiFi network the thermostats know we are away and goes into energy saving and coming back on when one of our phones is back on the wood network. I can’t compare it to other thermostats, but this one has been great, just as the first generation.

Set up an installation was easy. No need for professional install. The included instructions along with additional instructions on the Nest app have more than enough information to install on your own. The operation of the unit is fantastic as well. It is already learning our schedule and we have only been using it for a week.

I like that it connects to my Google Hub. I find it easy to adjust the temperature. I like that it was pretty easy to install.

The nest thermostat is a must have. I’m able to save my monthly bill using this thermostat. It is easy to use and I use my phone to adjust the thermostat from my app. It is so convenient and it detects when there are no people in the house and will switch in eco mode.

This is a great product for those into everything in their home being smart. It's price but I got it for $175 on blackfriday. It's a product that helps make changing the temp in your house more convenient if your at work you can change it or in bed as long as you have your iPhone or smart device. Also looks really nice in the home.

Easy to use...like to large display. Was also easy to install and program.

It's one of those items you don't know what you're missing out on until you own one. I love being able to control my home temperature with my iPhone or Alexa. It can also learn your temperature habits which is a nice touch.

Changing over to a smart thermostat has been the best transition. It’s so nice to control the house temp from anywhere, and we have definitely saved on our bills. Nest makes it really easy to install, and it’s very easy to use. DTE also have a great rebate. Really can’t go wrong!

We love our Nest. The ability to adjust the AC away from home is great, especially when the summer sets in those 120 degree temps destroy our electrical bill. The smart features are ok, but our schedule is too variable right now for this to be very helpful (when on, the nest tries to predict your schedule and adjust the temp based on what you seem to like - this only works if say every Monday in your life is uniform - ours is not with 2 young kids, variable nap times, activities, etc). You can make your own schedules if you like as well. Set up was pretty easy. I like know tech fairly well, but I am no electrician. Nevertheless, an online video or 2 and we were up and running w/o having to spent 200 bucks on an electrician. If you like, you can have the nest sense when you are coming and going (using GPS on your phone). Nest has a nice program that has our cameras, nest protect (smoke detectors) and nest thermostat all in one place. This is nice, esp when on vacation and checking in on everything. Sometimes I wonder if an Ecobee 3 would be better with its individual room temp sensing technology but overall I like the nest ecosystem so I am happy with the purchase.

First off, the style beats the old round thermostats and the more recent square bricks mounted to the wall. Form and function are incorporated beautifully. Installation on my system was straightforward and simple. The only issue was the size of the wire labels. I had a hard time applying them snd getting them to stick. Photographing the wires with tags was a great help. Once the base was attached to the wall, the first step, and the wires were attached to the screw-free clips on the base, the main “dial” of the thermostat just snaps onto the base. Throwing the breaker back to the on position for the furnace powers up the unit on most systems. Then the setup program begins. Simple, straightforward and done in about 3 minutes. Connecting to the home network gives nearly immediate access to the wireless functions with Google Hone products and Alexa. You can speak to these products or use the apps. Easy as pie.

Easy to use and works great with nest app. I recommend to have a licensed heat and air professional install this system.

I have been wanting to buy this Nest Thermostat for the last 3 years, and since ComEd was offering a $100 rebate, it was the perfect time to finally get it. It works amazing, it took about 15 minutes to install, and is so simple to use. Once its on the wall it walks you through all of the steps. Great technology.

Easy to install. Works perfect. Wireless makes it worry free.

Installed with new alarm system. It is also linked to Echo dot. Really easy to use and lowers temperature automatically if it doesn't see any movement in the room for extended period. Best feature is being able to turn heat up before you get out of bed, and or from anywhere in house. Wish we would have switched over years ago.

The Nest thermostat is incredibly easy to use and--let's face it--looks very cool considering what it is. My unit had a slight problem with it and the getting a replacement was a hassle-free experience. Best customer support is available to troubleshoot common install problems and help you maximize the benefits of their "learning" thermostat.

Fantastic thermostat, very easy to install, I had it mounted and connected in less than 30 mins, already have seen drops in our energy bill. Very high tech and great app. I love the fact that I can control my home environment even when I am away. And my pets are very happy as well. Believe me, you will be more than happy with the Nest Thermostat.

Easy to use, easy to install, saves money. Would recommend to anyone, if you have a screwdriver you can install it.

Very easy to install with the installations and tool provided. I haven’t explored the full capabilities of the Thermostat as yet but the slick appearance is amazing. I love that it lights up and displays the temp when it sense motion.
