Key Product Features

Helps You Save

The Nest Thermostat helps you save energy. It can turn itself down when you leave the house, so you don’t waste energy heating or cooling an empty home. Right from the start, it helps you create an energy-efficient schedule. And with Savings Finder, it looks for ways to help you save even more.

Eco Temperatures: The Nest Thermostat can use sensors and your phone’s location to check if you’ve left the house. Then it can set itself to an Eco temperature to save energy when you're away.

Savings Finder: Savings Finder looks for more ways to save, and suggests tweaks to your schedule. You can accept the suggestions with a tap.

Control from Wherever You Are

With the Google Home app, you can control the Nest Thermostat from wherever you are – whether you’re on the couch or away from home. [1] Change the temperature, adjust your schedule, check your settings, and more. Or ask Google to change the temperature – just say, “Hey Google, turn up the heat.”[2]

[1] Remote control and mobile notifications require working internet and Wi-Fi.
[2] Compatible devices required.

Notifications Let You Know if There's a Problem

Your thermostat can monitor your heating and cooling system and alert you if something doesn’t seem right. It can also send helpful reminders, like when it’s time to replace your filter. And you can book time with a qualified pro right from an alert or reminder.

ENERGY STAR Certified Savings

The Nest Thermostat’s energy-saving features earned an ENERGY STAR® from the EPA. Independent studies showed that the Nest Thermostat can save an average of 10-12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills.

HVAC Compatibility

Works with Most HVAC Systems

The Nest Thermostat works with 85% of 24V heating and cooling systems, including furnaces, air conditioners, boilers, and heat pumps with either forced air or radiant delivery.

The Nest Thermostat is designed to work if your home doesn’t have a common (“C”) wire. In some cases, particularly if you have a heating- or cooling-only system or use a zone controller, a C wire or other power-supply accessory may be necessary. 

Google Nest Thermostat Works With:

Conventional systems that have one stage of heating and cooling and a second stage of either heating or cooling
Heat pumps that have one stage of heating and cooling and either aux or emergency heat
HVAC fans
Multi-zone systems

Installation and Use

Easy to Install and Use

The Google Nest Thermostat is designed so you can install it yourself. Installation usually takes 30 minutes or less. Just follow the simple step-by-step instructions in the Google Home app. For most homes, there’s no C wire required, which makes installation even easier.

As you set up your new Nest Thermostat, you can also quickly create a schedule that’s right for you. To change the temperature, just swipe the touch bar on the side or use the Google Home app from anywhere.
