Posted .We appreciate your feedback. It's always frustrating when an appointment is not up to standards and having your Agent miss visiting your home at the scheduled time is not a good way to start a business relationship. I do apologize for the disappointment as this is not the kind of service we aim to provide our customers. We hope that you will give us a chance to make it right and reach out to us at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778.

Partial equipment install.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My installer did a good job. Would have been nice if he could have installed all of my equipment, rather than just the thermometer. I had to make a second appointment. I still have other equipment yet to be installed. Apparently Geek Squad can't drill holes in my home and i have to have an electrician do this before I can complete my install.

Inexperienced Technicians
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Technicians were very nice. The installation was a failure. The techs blamed it on a defective Ecobee device and installed the old thermostat which they somehow were able to make not function. They put the blame on faulty electrical. I sent the techs away called an HVAC technician and was told the Best Buy techs blew a fuse when they disconnected the old thermostat. The Best Buy techs did not turn off the power to the HVAC before starting the installation process thus the blown fuse. I ended having to not only pay for the installation by the HVAC technician of the Ecobee thermostat, which was not detective, but also had to pay for the blown fuse to be replaced. Very disappointed in the entire Best Buy installation process, I will not be using Best Buy for any future installations and will be thinking twice before making any future purchases.

Device is great, app sucks a little.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nest is a great way to upgrade your thermostat. Especially if you leave the house and forget to turn it off, as I got tired of doing. On the other hand, it’s also really lovely to turn on when on the way home, so you can walk into a nice warm house. The downside is that the app is cumbersome and sometimes unreliable. The programmers spent to much time on the programming rituals that one may want and not enough time on the simple basics… on, off and temp. You can get to them easily enough once you figure it out, but say, if I want to turn on the heat to 71 degrees period, I never know how long that will last for. Depends on the climate settings at the time. It may last 3 hours or 10 minutes. There needs to be an option to push all that aside and have a simple in and off and temp option that will just last until I change it or turn it off. That said, I’m still glad I got it because I can control it remotely.

Geek Squad makes everything so easy!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gavin showed up right on time, and with a huge smile on his face ready to help. He took care of getting my Nest and Ring set up in my new home and took the stress out of everything. Communication before and during the install was spot on. Geek Squad is always very professional, thorough, efficient and helpful whenever I need them and this visit was no exception.

Arrived very late then said it wasn't...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.compatible with my system and he couldn't do the job. In hindsight I'm glad. Tech said the green wire was the ground. Its not. It powers the fan independently. I installed the device myself, Honeywell 9000, with a little help from Honeywell regarding the C wire. This is part of the tech package for $200 I bought which may not be as good as they claim it to be. #2 separate install. Had a microwave installed, they were nice and all, but the microwave was about a 1/4 in off center from the bridge cabinet. I was in front yard with dog when they left. Signed nothing, they were out the door. Never had a chance or asked to view the completed job. Left a vm right after they left. Never called back. Left tool behind. Finders Keepers! They did leave the users manual.
