    I really like the nest thermostats however I wish that they would be able to use more than 1 sensor at a time so it would pay attention to the temp In more than 1 room

    Expensive piece of garbage.

    My problem with this thermostat is that it does not do one of the two essential things a thermostat is actually supposed to do: heat your house. The Google Nest Smart Thermostat is an expensive piece of garbage. It worked fine for the first few weeks, but then it began to delay heat by 2-3 hours. If I set the temperature to be 70 degrees by 8am, the heat wouldn't kick on until about 10am, and then it would take another hour to get up to the desired temperature. My previous, 14-year-old, AAA-battery-powered thermostat never had this issue. I've spent the last month troubleshooting. I even had an HVAC tech look at the furnace, and there were no issues with it. So we installed a common wire because we'd seen online that pretty much everyone who didn't have a common wire had similar issues with the Nest. Even with the c-wire, we still have the same issue. The heat takes hours to turn on in the mornings, and since we work from home, we're wearing thick sweaters, slippers, and sometimes even thin gloves inside our house until about 11am every morning. I missed the return window here at Best Buy (because it didn't have issues until after the return window closed), so we contacted Google, and after an hour of troubleshooting (that I'd already done on my own, but the customer service rep insisted we had to do), the only solution they offered was a replacement of the base. When I asked for a refund they refused. Odds are I'll be out $250 and end up throwing out this replacement thermostat that won't heat my house during the coldest months of the year. I'll be re-installing my 14-year-old thermostat in the meantime. My advice would be avoid this product like the plague, even if you have a common wire. Old, dead technology with no customer service or software updates is more reliable than this flashy, useless garbage. If Best Buy offered in-store credit for a return, I'd take it in a heartbeat at this point.

    I've noticed an improvement on the efficiency of my A/C unit. The energy efficiency features are great. I've already noticed a 200 kWh savings versus last year.

    I like the thermostat, but the geek team set it wrong.You recently installed a Nest thermostat for me, unfortunately it does not work for heating. When I turn on the heat option, it continues to work for cooling. Please fix this as soon as possible, it is uncomfortable, because in the morning and in the evening it is still quite cool in the house. I have two small children.
