    I purchased this Google Nest Smart Thermostat on May 2, 2022. It worked for 6 months, then stopped working on November 15, 2022 during 30-degree weather. My furnace would not work when this thermostat stopped working. I was without heat for 2 days & nights while waiting for a repair man.

    Terrible product. I’ve had so many issues with it since I bought it 3 months ago. Nest won’t help and Best Buy won’t help either. I’ve spent hours trying to find a solution. I’ve wasted so much money too. Stay away from this product. Headache product!!!!!!

    C Wire - you cannot set this unit up if your system doesn't have one. There is no way around it. The software will not allow you to add the device to your Google Home account and you can't bypass it. I took a chance and learned the hard way. Very disappointing. Now I have a useless item I cannot return and needed to buy the older E Thermostat instead...

      Hi ColdFashioned802,

      We appreciate your feedback. We´re sorry to hear of your disappointment with the new Nest Thermostat.

      Nest thermostats can charge their built-in battery using your system’s heating and cooling wires. But, when your heating and cooling wires are not able to deliver the needed power for your Nest thermostat, you may need to connect a common or C wire. It helps deliver enough consistent power to your thermostat. Learn more about Common wire here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9251212

      If you'd like us to have a look at the issue, then you may reach out to us. We'd be happy to assist you and work on improving your experience with your new Nest Thermostat here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
