@Rozdavis1956

When you go to the Support link they provided, when you get to the "Resources" page, do NOT click on any of the Help links; instead, just click on "Next step" to get to the contact options page.

Hello folks,

I'm chiming in to see how I can help.

I appreciate your input, @MplsCustomer.

@Rozdavis1956, thanks for consulting here in the Google Nest Community Forum on the email you received from us. I understand that this can be confusing, but I'd be happy to look at it for you if you haven't contacted us yet.

To begin with:

Which Nest Thermostat do you have?
What code or message is shown?
When did you buy the thermostat?
When was the thermostat installed?
When was the device first paired?
Did you add a C-wire or change their wiring after they paired?
C-wire power source (C-wire to HVAC system, add-a-wire, or AC adapter).
Photo of the wiring to the backplate.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system type
Power reading from Equipment Info (VIN, IIN, PS-*)

I'll look forward to your response.

Regards,
Mark

So I called. My warranty has expired. They will send a new one if I allowed $129 plus tax to HOLD on my credit card of Google store until they receive and process the old thermostat.

Uhhh NO

I got that message a year ago and as well had no obvious problems with my unit. When I finally got to speak with someone (long painful process) they told me everything was fine and ignore the message. Now, I'm getting the message again. No clear process to resolve but based on comments above, sounds like they just want to sell me a new one?? Again, I see no issues with them (I have two) but keep getting that same email.

Hi @thepablas,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I understand that you need assistance with an email and/or replacement order for your thermostat. But no need to worry, help's here!

Before we get started with further troubleshooting, let me ask you some important questions because it's not clear from your post if an email from us was received or if the replacement order is already processed, completed or pending, so I'm limited in the additional troubleshooting I can provide you. If you can share with me more details about it, that would be very helpful.

In case it helps, you can review these articles to know how to Return a Nest device and to check the Warranty, safety and regulatory information.

Please keep me posted.

Best regards,

Mario

This is the message I receive from Google Nest from time to time. If they want just to sell me another one, I can do it myself when the device really starts having problems. At the time being I see no problems. I would recommend Google Nest to enter an amendment into this email as follows: "we'd like to replace your thermostat for free provided that your warranty is not expired". Otherwise it turns out to be just a marketing strategy to make a customer buy a new device. And finally, I just wonder if my Nest Thermostat really does have any issues??? I think it doesn't.
