If you are wondering how to install the Google Nest thermostat, having just got the appliance, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will walk you through how to properly install the Google Nest thermostat yourself without needing to spend extra on the services of an electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without further ado, let us dive right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Google Nest Thermostat is one of the trending smart thermostats<\/a> produced by Google that you can install in your home. There are two models of Google\u2019s thermostat available to purchase: the Nest Thermostat and the Nest Learning Thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nest Learning Thermostat is a third-generation appliance that features a metal ring and a high-res display. Its classic turn dial design lets you navigate among the settings and you can press down on the thermostat to make a selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Learning Thermostat is available in seven different color finishes: stainless steel, mirror black, brass, polished steel, white, black, and copper. It comes with a trim kit if you need to cover up old holes or paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its high-res display offers a feature called Farsight that displays the weather, time, or temperature when it senses your presence. This model also has a learning algorithm that’s designed to adapt to your schedule over time and automatically make adjustments on your behalf. It also uses a proximity sensor to determine your home or away status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can set up this model using the Nest app and control it in the Google Home app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nest Thermostat has the same rounded shape as the Learning Thermostat — and both work with compatible smart speakers and displays (sold separately). <\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s where their similarities end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Nest Thermostat, Google did away with the turn dial. Instead, it has a touch control strip on the right side for adjusting the temperature and making other changes to your settings. The controls are responsive and intuitive, and an overall improvement over the previous turn dial approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This model is made of plastic and features a mirrored finish, as well as different color options than the Learning Thermostat. It is available in snow (white), sand (rose gold), fog (light greenish\/blueish-gray), and charcoal (dark gray). However, it also does not have the high-res display and “Farsight” feature offered with the Learning Thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nest Thermostat is the first of the company’s thermostats that do not work with the Nest app. Instead, this model can only be set up and controlled in the Google Home app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also will not learn your schedule over time and adjust accordingly. It lets you enter a schedule and will automatically switch between home and away modes based on the thermostat’s built-in proximity sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another difference between the two is that, while the Nest Thermostat is compatible with 85% of systems, the Nest Learning Thermostat is said to be compatible with 95% of systems. Google claims that some systems like heating-only, cooling-only, zone-controlled, or heat pump systems require either a C wire or Nest Power Connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Google Nest Thermostat can turn itself down to save energy when you leave the house. And whether you are simply on an errand or on vacation, you can control it from anywhere with a network connection with the Google Home app. You can even change the temperature without getting off the couch or out of bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All you need to say is, “Hey Google, turn up the heat” or “Hey Google, turn down the temperature” and it responds to your command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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. It also looks for ways to help you save even more with Savings Finder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you are looking for an easier way to control the temperature in your home, or you want to save energy (and potentially money), the Google Nest Thermostat can help you achieve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nest Thermostat also looks out for your heating or cooling system. If something doesn’t seem right, it can send an alert. And it’s easy to install yourself, usually in 30 minutes or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Google Nest Learning<\/strong> Thermostat vs the Google Nest Thermostat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
