nest Thermostat - Pre-Installation Guidance

Before you start
→ On the next page, you’ll see options for switching out an
existing thermostat or installing in a new spot.
Do I need to install the Nest
Thermostat somewhere new?
Many existing wired thermostats
are in rooms that are rarely used.
Thetemperature they sense is warmer
or cooler than homeowners feel.
So if the old thermostat isn’t in a good
spot, install Nest somewhere new
usingthe included power plug and cord,
or using the Stand for Nest Learning
Thermostat (sold separately).
The Nest Thermostat
shouldbe:
• Installed so that it can communicate
wirelessly with Heat Link (up to a
maximum distance of 30m). The home’s
construction and arrangement will
affect the communication range
• In a room that’s used often, so Nest
can read the right temperature and
the homeowner can easily reach it
• On an interior wall
• Away from drafts
• 1.2 – 1.5m from the floor
• Not behind doors, bookcases
orotherobjects
• If in a zoned system, near the radiator
that it’s controlling
