Power issue email

I keep getting a power issue message on my thermostat and when this happens I get an email from Google Nest that states:

 

"We've identified an issue with your new Nest Thermostat and its ability to draw power from your heating or cooling system. Unfortunately, the issue cannot be fixed on your device, but we’d like to replace your thermostat for free. It's the least we can do for the inconvenience.

To receive your free replacement, please contact our customer support team at 1 (855) 469-6378. When speaking with support, please provide the thermostat's 14-character serial number that can be found on the bottom of the device above the QR code.

We apologize again for this inconvenience and look forward to helping you.

- The Google Nest team"

 

The phone number does not work and I can't find anything on the nest website. Please help!!

Hello agrecojr1,

 

Thanks for reaching out about the Nest email you received. I'd love to know more about this.

 

  • What message code or message is shown on your thermostat?
  • When did you buy the thermostat?
  • When was the thermostat installed?
  • Did you add a C-wire or a Nest Power Connector?

 

Also, please gather these additional details:

 

  • A photo of the wiring to the backplate
  • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system type
  • Power reading from the Equipment setting's "Power Info" (VIN, IIN, PS-*)

 

I'll look forward to your response.

 

Best,

Mark

The “form” has no more information than you already have. Looks more like fishing to me.
