    Doesn't shut off heat when it's supposed

    I removed this unit after two days. After hook up, everything was running as it should. However, on heat mode, it just kept running past the desired temperature even after turning the thermostat off. This didn't happen on the cooling mode, as it shut off on it's own after reaching the target temp. In short, this thermostat ran our system longer than our previous one did and requires more monitoring. Their website troubleshooting was no help.

    Turns on fine, but when you turn it off the fan does not. You need to play with it until the fan turns off.

    I am an Elite Plus Member and one of the perks of being an Elite Plus Member is you receive "free set up by the Geek Squad, so I read. There were no asterisk stating this would not happen in certain circumstances. When I called to get my new "Nest Thermostat" installed the Geek Squad representative told me they do not install this product in OHIO. Bummer, I guess I move to another state or return this interracial product to the store, Sad!

    I know that this thermostat is highly rated however I couldn't get it to work with my system. We think that there is a problem with my wiring configuration so I had to return it for now and will have my system checked out by an A/C specialist. Therefore I cannot rate it at this time but it is making me do a rating before I leave this screen so that said I can't give a high rating. They should have a no rating option.

    This thermostat keeps shutting my furnace off then on then off then on then off then on, etc. Nest support is obviously just reading from a script. I reinstalled the old smart thermostat this was supposed to replace and everything worked fine. I do not recommend this product at all.

    Wide temperature swing

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The thermostat was 2 to 3 degrees too high. Then the temperature swing is way too wide. For example if it is set to 68 degrees the heat won’t turn on until below 66 degrees and then it will turn off until above 70 degrees. I returned the unit.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The item was defective and changed the inside temp randomly. Spent over two hours with Nest customer service trying to find a resolution. The end result was the item had a defective sensor which was why it kicked the heat on and was 99 degrees in the house when it was 102 outside. Could not be program to cool consistently. It was returned to the store for a refund.

      Hi JoeW. It sounds like you're frustrated with a malfunctioning appliance that's only blowing cold air, and Google customer service hasn't been helpful despite your attempts to reach them. Here are some steps you can take:

      1.Identify the appliance: Is it a heater, air conditioner, refrigerator, or something else? Knowing the specific appliance will help narrow down potential causes.

      2.Check the basics: Refer to the appliance's user manual for troubleshooting tips. Common issues include:

      3.Thermostat setting: Make sure it's set to heat (for heaters) or a higher temperature (for air conditioners).
      Dirty filters: A clogged air filter can restrict airflow and hinder heating/cooling efficiency. Clean or replace the filter as recommended.
      4.Blocked vents: Ensure vents aren't blocked by furniture or debris.
      Search online resources: Search for troubleshooting guides specific to your appliance model. Websites like [manufacturer name] support pages or forums might offer solutions.

      5.Consider alternative contact methods: If calling hasn't worked, try reaching out to Google customer service through their online chat option (if available) or social media platforms like Twitter.

      6.Seek professional help: If troubleshooting fails, consider contacting a qualified repair technician for your appliance. https://store.google.com/us/magazine/installation?hl=en-US

      Here's an additional tip: When contacting customer service again, politely explain the situation and the number of times you've tried reaching them. Request to speak to a supervisor if your issue isn't resolved promptly. Nest

    After 3 months, the device stopped “finding” its wiring. Double checked everything and had a professional come out to make sure it was wired correctly. $300 paper weight now that won’t even hold down paper. I’ve reached out to google but after 3 weeks have gotten nothing. Stay far away from this.

    *****do not buy the Nest Thermostats if you need a common wire and have multiple zones. They will die in a year. I spent $1800 in Nest Products and was mislead to believe that the Thermostats work without a common wire. Worst part Google/Nest doesn’t care and won’t make accommodations. Highly disappointed*****

    Every afternoon it blows warm air even though is supposed to be cooling. I live in south Florida and it's the middle of the summer. Support is bad I have disabled every feature on it to be just a regular thermostat and still only cools when it wants to.
