The last few days my house has felt warm and when I look at my Nest the schedule is set at 75 but the actual temp is higher such as 79 and it says 75 in 2+ hours. I understand it might be a degree warmer as then it will kick in to cool but this is several degrees warmer. Why isn’t it cooling as scheduled?

Hi Nicole,

Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to the community! We're happy to hear your home is a Nest one. Let's figure out what's going on with your thermostat.

There are a number of reasons as to why you are seeing a different temperature than experiencing. The time gauged for your AC to kick in is developed by your original HVAC protocols--many heating and cooling systems have a built-in delay to prevent excessive wear. Since there are moving parts, turning your system on and off frequently may shorten its lifespan. Nest thermostats also have a built in delay, like many other thermostats. This is to help save energy and also prevent system wear, especially for systems that don’t automatically delay turning on. Here is our thorough guide explaining reasons as to why your home and Nest temperatures could be dif...t.

Let us know if you have any other questions for us. We're happy to help!
