    Install was a breeze. After training I started watching my energy use. It dropped at least 25%. Love this thing.

    Had it installed for several months and then it started turning on the heater at random. Woke up one night and it was 80 in the house. Disappointed

      Hey there, JustinP. We’re sorry to hear you had a problem with getting the right temperature with the Nest Learning Thermostat. Here’s some troubleshooting steps to remedy the issue:

      1. Disable learning for the temperature schedule: When Auto-Schedule or Smart Schedule is turned on, it learns from the adjustments you make to optimize your schedule. You can manually edit the existing schedule, create an entirely new one, or turn off these learning features.

      2. Turn off or adjust Eco Temperature: Your Nest thermostat gives you a temperature range you can select from when you set an Eco Temperature. The Eco Temperature ranges you can choose from are: 40-70°F (4-21°C) for heating mode and 76-90°F (24-32°C) for cooling mode.

      We’re just a click away anytime you need us: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    House doesn't heat up as quickly as it should. Old fashioned regular thermostats are better.

      Hi there, Dave. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Learning Thermostat. We're sorry to hear that your home isn't heating fast enough.

      Nest Learning Thermostats are designed to help save you energy while making your home comfortable enough. However, if you're using a heat pump system and your heating system isn't heating fast or warm enough, you may change the heat pump balance feature and adjust the heating according to your needs. This feature combines your heat pump and auxiliary (AUX) heating to achieve your heating requirements. Heat Pump Balance lets you select a level of comfort and savings that you like: more comfort, more savings, or a balance between the two. You can choose between Max Comfort, Max Savings, Balanced or Off. Choosing Max Comfort will help you reach the heating target temperature faster. Keep in mind that using this setting will incur additional cost since it will be using both your heat pump and auxiliary heating. For more information about the feature, check out this help link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9248719

      For further assistance, our support team would be happy to assist you by reaching out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought my first nest in July 2017 on a best buy sale. We were building a house so I did not need it for a while. When everything was ready 7 months later and we were able to use it, it would not turn on. After speaking with nest they told us to return it to best buy. Best buy refused the return, so I had to buy another thermostat. I went ahead and bought a nest again and this one worked. I like the thermostat, don't like best buys 14 day return policy. I would purchase this product somewhere else. I would recommend the product to a friend, not purchasing at best buy though.

      We apologize for your experience with the Nest Thermostat, as well as your experience with Nest support. We would only refer customers to the place of purchase if they wanted a refund. Our products do come with a two year warranty. While we wouldn’t be able to provide a refund in this case, any customer can contact us and we’d be able to replace a faulty unit that’s still under warranty by sending a replacement. Nest

    if you have a dual heat system, don't buy. There is no capability for the Nest product to receive sensing info to enable the heat pump/ oil furnace to work properly.

    I got this for my husbands birthday, and he loves it. We are still trying to learn how it works best, because we don't really have a set schedule of when we are away or home for it to 'learn' a routine.
