Horrible customer service

ayush1313 — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 22:10:19 GMT

I had a issue with my thermostat which I purchased three weeks back. Google sent me a replacement and technician confirmed that replacement is also defective. Not they have no solution but keep sending bad devices. So horrible experience.

Hi ayush1313,

Thanks for the speedy reply. I appreciate your effort in reaching out to our team about reporting your thermostat not activating the heat and for the steps you have taken.

A few questions to isolate: what's the HVAC technician's diagnosis? Were there any specific reasons why the replacement didn't work? Also, can you share with me a picture of your thermostat's wiring setup?

Keep me posted.

Best,
Mark

Hello @Markjosephp ,

My house has 2 thermostat for two floors. The first floor thermostat isn’t working, Technician switched the second floor thermostat with first floor to prove that there is no issue with system. When second floor nest thermostat is switched at first floor it turns on heating and cooling perfectly.
I tried to setup Replacement with best technician, initially it was not turning on heat but after 2/3 reset it didn’t even connect with phone.
I purchased new thermostat three months back why Google is sending refurbished thermostat, I didn’t purchase refurbished.

Hey there,

I understand. All refurbished devices are thoroughly inspected to ensure they operate like new devices. They have been tested to make sure there are no mechanical or software issues. In the rare circumstances where you have a problem with your replacement device, we will do everything we can to make sure you have a device that works like new.

Before we had it replaced, did you try contacting the point of sale for a replacement?

Keep me posted.

Thanks,
Mark
