    The Google Nest thermostat is very cool looking and I am sure I would have loved it if I could have used it. After buying it and planning the installation I found that it is not compatible with my system. I returned it to Best Buy for a refund and was told they have a 15 day return policy. ??? Who else has that short of a return policy especially on items that require installation? It isn't likely to find an installer in that time frame, so beware. Despite the item being in perfect sellable condition and the cash receipt, they would only give me store credit. That is the reason for 3 stars.

    We have own nests for a while now. We had it in our previous home (2nd generation) and the home before (1st generation). We just moved into our new home, bought the nest (4th generation), had it installed and noticed that the fan continued to run while not cooling the home down. We had professionals come out to figure out what was wrong. They ended up bypassing the thermostat to see that the ac was running correctly, but issue was the actual thermostat. We have a newer York ac and were told that this nest generation has been having issues since they came out. Please avoid! We eneded up replacing it with the Honeywell smart thermostat.
