How to Install a Nest Thermostat
:lit-fam:
It’s easy to install the 3rd gen Nest Learning Thermostat. And it’s quick – most people install it in 30 minutes or less. Grab your smartphone and make sure you have access to your fusebox; you'll need it to turn off the power before safely installing your thermostat. Everything else you need is included with your Nest Thermostat.

Nest Protect™ smoke + carbon monoxide alarm
Your heating system could be a source of carbon monoxide leaks or it could spread smoke through your home in a fire. If there’s a carbon monoxide leak, Nest Protect can tell your Nest Thermostat to turn off the heat. If Nest Protect detects smoke, your Nest Thermostat can turn off the fan.
