Nest 3rd Generation learning programmable Thermostat Brushed Brass T3032US

had an engineer come to install and he was confused by how 'thin' the box was. when he went inside he discovered it was the US version, which is incompatible with UK central heating systems. he remarked that he has never seen a UK version in brass. dishonest for amazon to allow this to be sold here

This is much more sleek looking than the regular Nest thermometer that we have upstairs. Installation was a bear because we blew a fuse. Turn off the breaker, but also turn off the furnace separately. Ours is in the attic so didn't climb up there to turn it off. Kept getting random error messages during install - power not connected to AC, couldn't detect the R wire, etc. Tried everything. Finally gave up and called an HVAC guy. He came out and diagnosed and changed the fuse on the furnace for $129. Other than that, the install should have been easy. Very happy with it now and happy we paid the extra $$ for this model.

I used to have a Honeywell thermostat that came with my house, but my OCD and I had a heated debate about its bland design and clunky functionality. It was like the beige cardigan of thermostats – functional but uninspiring and a tad effortful to use. I decided it was time to upgrade to something that matched my desire for style, automation, and cutting-edge tech. Enter the Google Nest Learning Thermostat in its stunning gold color. I was skeptical at first – it’s a bit pricier than the typical options! This beauty is like the James Bond of thermostats: sleek, intelligent, and effortlessly cool. Features like Alexa integration for voice commands, app support, and energy-saving magic have made my life infinitely easier (and my energy bills a bit friendlier). Even manually adjusting it feels like an elegant experience, not a monotonous chore. And gold color - it’s like putting jewelry on my wall. I’ve received more compliments on my thermostat than I have on my living room decor. True story! Now I understand why this gadget keeps going out of stock on Amazon If you’re on the fence about upgrading, let me just say this: stop debating and nest your way to a smarter, better home. Your OCD – and your guests – will thank you!

Very efficient

I installed this in October 2023. I have an old home with a boiler and radiators and this was the only smart thermostat that was said to work with a two-wire system. All others required three wires which meant having a technician come in and run the third wire to the boiler. The Nest thermostat worked fine until one Friday in early January 2024 when suddenly the temperature in the house dropped. I checked our boiler and it was rapidly turning on and off, then staying off, then on and off again. I spent an hour on the phone with Google Nest support trouble shooting and finally reset the thermostat. It seemed to work so we ended the call and 20 minutes later it was doing the same thing. I reset it again and it seemed to work. At that point it was late at night and I went to bed. The thermostat was set to 70 all night long but when we got up in the morning the house was at 64° and the boiler was again clicking on and off. I called support again and spent two hours going through all kinds of tests and resets before the agent said they'd send a replacement in 3 to 5 business days. I explained that it was 8° outside and temperatures were dropping to sub-zero for the next few days and I had to have a working thermostat. The agent then kept me on the phone for another hour saying she'd connect me to someone who could help. She finally came back and said that they were too busy to talk to me and all I could do was wait three to five business days for the replacement. She understood how dire the situation was but also said there was nothing she could do. I finally reached a local HVAC technician who told me he'd replaced more Nest thermostats than any other brand. He talked me through a temporary solution so I could have them come out when it wasn't an emergency call. He told me I could pick up another thermostat for him to install, he did say he'd had good experience with Ecobees, which require a three wire installation. I've never had such poor customer service. The woman on the phone was very respectful and did her best to be helpful, but she clearly didn't understand what to do but was just following a script of what to try next. She seemed as frustrated as me that she couldn't get better help. I've since talked to other people who have had similar experiences with Nest thermostats.
