Features

Proven Energy Savings

The Nest Thermostat can save an average of 10-12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills.¹ Its energy-saving features earned an ENERGY STAR® from the EPA.²

So Many Ways to Save

It can turn itself down when you leave the house, so you don’t waste energy heating or cooling an empty home. And Savings Finder looks for more ways to save and suggests tweaks to your schedule. You can accept the suggestions with a tap.

Control From Anywhere

With the Google Home app, you can control your smart thermostat from wherever you are – whether you’re on the couch or away from home.³

Easy to use

Just swipe the touch bar on the side of the Nest Thermostat to change the temperature and tap for settings.

Heating and Cooling System Care

HVAC monitoring looks out for many heating and cooling system issues. If something doesn’t seem right, it can send you an alert.⁴ If you need to replace your air filter, you’ll get a reminder.

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.³ For most homes, there’s no C wire required, which makes installation even easier.⁵ But for some systems, including heating-only, cooling-only, zone-controlled and heat pump systems, you’ll need a Nest Power Connector or C wire.

Compatible With Most Heat Pumps

Nest thermostats work with standard 24V controlled heat pumps.⁶

Support a Clean Energy Future, Right From Home

Nest Renew from Google works with your compatible Nest thermostat to help you automatically prioritize usage to when energy is cleaner or less expensive.⁷

Fine-Tune Your Comfort

The Nest Thermostat comes with Quick Schedule. When you set up your new thermostat, you can easily customize your schedule. And you can always adjust it from the Google Home app.

Change the Temperature With Your Voice ⁶

Just say, “Hey Google, turn up the heat.” The Nest Thermostat works with Hey Google on your phone and Nest speakers and displays. It also works with Alexa on other smart devices.⁸

Nest Thermostat’s Perfect Match

The Nest Thermostat Trim Kit (sold separately) is designed to cover imperfections on the wall from removing your old thermostat. And it comes in perfectly matched colors.

Designed With the Environment in Mind

The Nest Thermostat is designed with recycled materials to reduce waste. Its plastic parts contain 49% recycled post-consumer plastic.

⁴ Alerts can notify you of a potential issue with an eligible HVAC system. They’re meant to provide helpful information, not an endorsement, representation or warranty of any kind about the health of your HVAC system. Alerts aren’t intended to replace a diagnosis by a qualified HVAC professional.      

⁵ The Nest Thermostat is designed to work in most homes without a common (C) wire. Installing a new C wire may be required with heat-only or other systems. See Learn about the common or C wire for details.      

⁶ Nest thermostats are not compatible with heat pumps that require a special closed protocol communicating thermostat.      

⁷ Nest Renew requires 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat, Nest Thermostat E, or the newest Nest Thermostat (sold separately), connected to a Google account. Only available in areas served by major continental US grids. Only available for customers on certain electric utility time-of-use rates. Learn more at Nest Renew availability. Adjustments only shift electricity usage from your heating and cooling.      

⁸ Voice control requires a compatible device.

Installation

Before You Buy: Check if Your Equipment is Compatible

Before you purchase your Nest Thermostat, use Nest's compatibility checker. to make sure your heating and cooling system(s) are compatible.

The Nest Thermostat is easy to install yourself, usually in 30 minutes or less. The step-by-step instructions in the Google Home app make it easy to install and wire your thermostat, so use it as your main guide.

What's a C-Wire?

The Nest Thermostat is designed to work without a C-wire. However, in some cases, a C-wire may be needed.

A C-wire (common wire) is a low voltage power wire that many modern thermostats require for their features to work. Many older homes don’t have a C-wire because mercury and battery-powered thermostats didn’t require one.

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

It works with conventional systems that have one stage of heating and cooling and a second stage of either heating or cooling. It works with heat pumps that have one stage of heating and cooling and either aux or emergency heat. And it works with HVAC fans.

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.
