    Should include a trim kit but it didn’t so make sure you buy one when you buy the nest thermostat. Got mine on sale.

    This is the worst investment I ever made in my life! I absolutely hate this thermostat and do not recommend! Very poor quality product adjust on its own. You wake up in the night sweating because the temperatures changes on its own. I would give mine away for free if someone just put a new one in for my that I purchase!

    It's a pain in the neck. They changed the software over the past few years so that you are now required to have a "c-wire" installed on your furnace in order for this device to work properly. Well, my electrician wants to charge me $175 for a service call to install one. Not what I expected.

      Hi JudithH, we appreciate you sharing your experience with Nest Thermostat and we're sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations. Your Nest Thermostat is designed to use little power and should work with using your system’s heating and cooling wires to get enough consistent power. But sometimes, you may need to connect a common wire (C wire) or power accessory to make your system compatible. If you're willing, we'd recommend reaching out to our support specialists so we can better assist in identifying the compatibility of your system with the Nest Thermostat and provide you with some troubleshooting tips that may improve your overall experience. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi Adam, thanks for the feedback to let us know of your experience with using the Nest Thermostat. It’s unfortunate to learn you ran into this issue. While most 24 V HVAC systems are compatible with Nest thermostats, there are some systems that aren’t compatible. We suggest using our online compatibility checker to make sure that the Nest Thermostat works with your system: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat

      If you’re willing to give this another go, we’d like to find out what went wrong and we suggest getting in touch with our specialists here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This was literally the worst experience. I had to schedule someone twice from the geek squad to install it and the second tech left with my unit not working any longer. The tech left with no responsibility. I then had to call an HVAC company to come fix the unit.

    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!!!!!!
