Time to start cooling message

Hi

I've just upgraded to a Nest Gen 4 thermostat. The new thermostat has an odd behavior...when I move it to a lower temp. It says cooling starts in 2-3 mins. Have tried this new device in two different systems.  Is this expected behavior. My older Nest device didn't do this. 

Thanks 

Colin

Hi @ColinMckinty,

 

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I understand that when you change the temperature lower on your Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen), you receive a message that says cooling starts in 2-3 minutes. I appreciate the information you've shared and the time you've taken to test it with two different systems. No worries, I'd be more than glad to assist you. To help with that, I have a few questions for you:

  • When was your Nest Thermostat installed?
  • After the time has passed, does your Nest Thermostat start cooling?
  • Do you have a conventional HVAC system (furnace and AC) or a heat pump system (single unit for both heating and cooling)?
  • Could you share a picture of your old and new wiring configurations? 

Any additional details you can provide will be helpful.

 

Cheers,
Jonathan
