I live in a 2 family home and will be away and am worried the second floor will have heat while I am away.  How can I fix this issue. I have a Google Nest Thermostat.

Hello Mari221,

 

It's understandable that you're concerned about the heating situation on the second floor while you're away. Fortunately, with a Google Nest Thermostat, you have some options to address this issue remotely.

 

  • Check your thermostat's schedule settings. Make sure it reflects your usual occupancy patterns. Adjust the temperature settings for when you're away to ensure the second floor isn't unnecessarily heated during those times.
  • Utilize the remote control feature of the Nest app. If you notice the second floor is too warm while you're away, you can adjust the temperature from anywhere using your smartphone.
  • The Nest Thermostat has an Eco Mode that helps save energy when you're not at home. It adjusts the temperature to a more energy-efficient level when it detects that no one is around. Ensure that Eco Mode is appropriately configured to strike a balance between comfort and energy savings.
     

By leveraging these features and taking a few precautions, you should be able to manage the heating situation on the second floor while you're away. Safe travels!

Best regards,
Mark
