### Stop Fighting With Your Smart Thermostat
Bought a Nest to save money on heating? Great idea. **Except now it's sat in the box** because the setup instructions assume you're an IT professional who speaks fluent tech.
Here's the thing: Nest thermostats are brilliant when they work. But getting from "unopened box" to "controlling my heating from bed" involves WiFi passwords, app permissions, wiring diagrams, and about fifteen different setup screens.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Most Nest setup frustration comes from the app, not the device itself. The thermostat is simple - it's the phone connection that trips people up.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Getting one installed by a heating engineer?** They'll wire it in but often don't do the app setup or explain how to use it. That's where I come in - I do the "now make it actually useful" bit. **Multiple Nests?** If you're doing upstairs and downstairs zones, or a rental property with several units, I can set them all up together. Cheaper than doing separately. **Old house with dodgy WiFi?** Thick Devon walls kill WiFi signals. If your router's in the hallway and the boiler's out back, we might need a WiFi extender. I'll tell you before starting if that's the case. **Just need help with the app?** Sometimes the Nest is already installed but nobody showed you how to use it. That's fine - I can come just for the app setup and explanation. Still £60 minimum but usually takes under an hour.
Frequently Asked Questions about Nest thermostat setup in Exmouth
What exactly is a Nest thermostat?
It's a smart thermostat made by Google. You can control your heating from your phone, set schedules, and it learns your habits over time to save energy. But only if it's set up properly - which is where a lot of people get stuck.
Can you set it up even if I'm not tech-savvy?
That's exactly why people call me. I don't assume you know anything about WiFi passwords or app permissions. I set everything up, show you how to use it in normal language, and make sure you're comfortable before I leave.
Do I need to buy the Nest first or can you get it?
Either way works. Most people buy it themselves from Screwfix or online, then call me when they get stuck with the setup. But if you want me to grab one for you from the trade counter, just say.
Will it work with my old boiler?
Almost certainly yes - Nest works with pretty much any combi boiler. The battery-powered version is even easier because there's no wiring involved. I'll check what you've got and confirm before starting.
How long does setup actually take?
Usually about an hour to an hour and a half. That includes mounting it, connecting to WiFi, getting the app working, setting up a basic schedule, and explaining how to use it all. Not rushed - done properly.
