      Hi Michael,

      Thanks for sharing your feedback. We can see that your having a difficult experience with the wiring of the Thermostat. Nest thermostats are engineered to use very little power, less than 1 kWh/month. But in some situations you may need to connect a C wire to deliver enough consistent power to your thermostat. If you need more information about your thermostat and if your system is compatible or not, you can reach us through this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi AkBus,

      Oh no! We´re truly sorry to hear that your system needs a common (C) wire in order to work with Nest Thermostat.

      Nest thermostats are designed to be able to work efficiently without the need of a power or common (C) wire when the heating and cooling wires of your system can deliver enough power to keep the thermostat's battery charged up. However, some heating/cooling wires can't deliver adequate power to Nest thermostats. In such cases, Nest thermostats need a common (C) wire that goes into the C terminal of the thermostat base. The next best step would be to contact a Nest Pro technician to check your system and install a common (C) wire if needed.

      Our support team is always here to assist you if you have any further questions. You can contact us via the Google Nest support page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    I bought 2 and 1 one of them is defective. And its not working right. BestBuy will not accept returns unless within 14 days. I couldnt get anyone to come out to help install within that date range. I did jot enroll in BestBuy Geek Squad because they are a rip off.

    I wasn’t aware this one doesn’t work with the same systems as my other nest, so the day of a deep freeze this one wasn’t compatible. Spend the money and get the more expensive version of the nest.

      Hi there, Nate. Thanks for trying out the Nest Thermostat. We're sorry to hear that your HVAC system isn’t compatible with the Nest Thermostat. We can only imagine how inconvenient this may have been for you, especially during a freezing day. We recommend contacting Best Buy to see if your Nest Thermostat is still covered by their return policy. Getting the full featured Nest Learning Thermostat should be able to cover your needs and work together efficiently with your other Nest thermostats. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This is a terrible thermostat!! If you tell her to cool down it says it will do so in two hours. I had this for a month and replaced it with a manual which now I get my air You don’t have to wait. There are lotta settings you can only control for so long. Do not recommend

      Hi there, thanks for sharing a review. We’re sorry to know that you had issues with Nest Thermostat and had to replace it.

      Time to temperature shows how long it would take to reach your target temperature. It will calculate how long the system would take to cool down your home. If it doesn’t give you any air, we may need to take a closer look to isolate the issue.

      We value your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve our products and services. If you decide to give Nest Thermostat a chance in the future, we'll be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
