You may want to install the Nest
Thermostat somewhere new
Many wired thermostats are installed
in rooms that are rarely used, so the
temperature that they sense can be
warmer or cooler than the temperature
that homeowners feel .
If the current thermostat isn’t in a good
location, install the Nest Thermostat
in a new place with the Nest Stand
(sold separately) in a room that’s used
more often .
→ Placement guidelines on page 14 .
Where should you install it?
• Place it within 30 metres of the Heat Link .
Closer is generally better . Walls and large
objects between them can affect their
communication range .
• The Nest Thermostat should be in a room
that’s used often so that it can read
the right temperature, can sense when
the home is empty and know when to
automatically turn down the heating .
• It should have a clear view of the room .
• Wall-mounted thermostats should be
installed on an interior wall .
• Make sure that it’s away from draughts
and heat sources .
• For zoned systems, install the thermostat
in the zone that it’s controlling .
