cancel service call
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Technician came and doesn't install because of rewiring cable but he didn't cancel the service.

Buyer beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The guys were cool however the nest thermostat needed an extra wire run to the furnace for the humidifier to work (that’s important). They said they couldn’t do that n I needed to have an hvac company come out to run the wire. Nowhere did we see any warning that this was possible. We called Best Buy…no refund, no discount for a job half done….

Terrible service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paid for the service but did not receive the service I paid for. I made the appointment over the phone but did not confirm via email. Didn’t think I needed to. I later found out that that is why no one came. The appointment before this one was also a disappointment. The technician who came was only able to complete one out of the three services I requested. Refund is requested.

Turn on only heated air
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Third party installer installed my nest thermostat. It worked fine in the cold days with the heat, but when I turn on cool when the temperature rise, it still provide heated air through my vent. I'm very disappointed with service that we received from the Best Buy.

Penny Pincher!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just a beverage refrigerator delivered and NOT A Thermostat as stated. I asked for delivery and set up. I just got the delivery, since the Sales Tech didn't state delivery and set up, i was told: "THAT WILL BE EXTRA" VERY DISAPPOINTED overall!

Worst service I have ever had.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this installed in march. It’s September and I have been trying to get Best Buy to come fix it for a while. I have no AC and Best Buy refuses to help even though I have a kid in the house. Worse experience ever.

Horrible! I will never use them again.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got a thermostat installed when I was not home (my wife was). When I got home I had a three inch hole in my wall under the new thermostat. They obviously did not use the correct mounting bracket. They told my wife to buy some plaster and left! I paid for a professional installation and I got some kid that did not care and did not even show my wife how to operate it.

Choose someone other than Best Bu
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy sent a 3rd party out to my home and the third party installed the thermoatats incorrectly crossing the wires. Another third party contractor they hired told them an HVAC Tech is required. Best Buy sent the Television Tech.

No customer service

Called for a refund for the cost of repairing my thermostat and still waiting for a response. Really disappointing and no attempt to communicate with me.

Unsatisfied.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm still waiting the technician to come to my home. The first one says he doesn't know how to do the job. I scheduled for another "more prepared technician," but he doesn't showed up the scheduled day. Now I need to schedule for third time...

Consistently horrible experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First guy came out and installed the smart thermostat & said he didn't know how to use the app. He left the house at 81 degrees. Come to find the install was incomplete. Next appt: NO SHOW. 6 hours of list wages and hours of time on the phone with horrible customer service. We will see if this even gets published.

Worst Experience Ever
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The third party installer never showed up.This happened three time. I cancelled my order. To make things worse I still haven't received a full refund from Best Buy Geek Squad reputation is taking a big hit. I am headed to Small claims court.

Google nest thermostat
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Agents seemed to not be interested in doing a job when they showed up; not even a minute after looking at my existing thermostat he advised me that I should have a mechanical contractor come to install my thermostat which would cost me hundreds of dollars versus to Best Buy installation cost. The installation cost is yet to be returned to me.

Posted .We appreciate that you let us know this happened. We expect our Agents to offer exceptional service and communication and having to go through a different party to get your AC working is not the level of service we strive for. We’d like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, delay, or burden you may have faced. We hope you give us another opportunity to better serve you in the future.
