    Absolute Junk

    Piece of absolute junk. Connected it and it worked ( or seemed to) for a couple of hours. After that, it kept cycling the boiler on and off. When I trouble sit the system with my heating guy, he determined that the NEST was the problem. Replaced it with my old thermostat and problem was gone. I’ll be returning this very quickly. Aside from the junk that this is, I don’t like Google accessing my home in yet - one more way.

      Hi Cornerstone,

      Thank you for trying out the new Nest Thermostat and sharing your experience with us. We're sorry you encountered such an inconvenience and decided to return it.

      Some systems such as heat-only, cool-only, or heat pumps may require a common (C) wire to be compatible with Nest Thermostat. We always recommend using the compatibility checker to determine if your system is compatible here: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat

      If you need any help with any Google Nest product, please feel free to reach out to us so we can do our best to improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!!!!!!
