Nothing starts your week off better than your Nest thermostat not receiving power from your HVAC unit (over the weekend) and that unseasonably warm weather you’ve been having for a week, moving on out starting today. 😬😭

@sergio\_101 I really hoping I am an outlier and that I just got a lemon Nest. It worked flawlessly for roughly 3 months before not getting a charge. While it worked, it was a really cool piece of tech. Some reviews claim that it can pay for itself in a few years.

@sergio\_101 We've only had it in this new/old house (built in the 40’s) so I don't have old data to compare. That said, weve doubled our living space (1000 sq ft) & our bill is comparable to our old flat. If you're curious, I'd take the leap & wait for one to go on sale.

@sergio\_101 Sounds like a plan. I think you'll like it! FWIW - a little update - it wasn't a faulty Nest. It looks like it's a fuse or wiring issue with our HVAC system.
