The Google Nest Thermostat is a smart thermostat for your home that is designed to help you save energy and stay comfortable. This thermostat is ENERGY STAR certified and is compatible with 85% of heating and cooling systems. Before purchasing, you can check your system’s compatibility using the online Nest Compatibility Checker on the Google Nest support page.
One of the standout features of the Nest Thermostat is its ability to turn itself down when you leave your home, so you don’t waste energy heating or cooling an empty home. You can easily program an energy efficient schedule in the Google home app on your Android or iPhone. Additionally, the Nest Thermostat has a remote control feature that allows family members to change the thermostat temperature from anywhere on a phone, laptop, or tablet.
The Nest Thermostat also has a Savings Finder feature that looks for more ways your thermostat can help you save, and suggests tweaks to your schedule in the app. It’s also worth checking with your energy provider to learn more about rebates and more ways to save on a Nest thermostat.
The Nest Thermostat also has HVAC monitoring, which looks out for your heating and cooling systems and sends an alert if something doesn’t seem right, along with helpful reminders to make maintenance easier. This is a great feature for people who want to ensure their HVAC systems are running smoothly and efficiently.
Installing the Nest Thermostat is easy and typically takes 30 minutes or less. Everything you need is included in the box, and the thermostat is designed to work without a C wire in most homes. However, for some systems, including heating only, cooling only, zone controlled, and heat pump systems, you’ll need a C wire or other compatible power accessory.
