Understanding the Nest Thermostat Situation in the UK

If you've been researching smart thermostats for your UK home, you've likely encountered some confusing information regarding the Nest product line. Let's clarify the current state of affairs.

We've enjoyed the Nest thermostat in UK for a long time, servicing many homes.

The 3rd Generation: Limited Availability

It's important to note that Google has discontinued the distribution of the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat in the UK. This means new units are no longer being supplied to retailers. While this may be disappointing, it provides clarity on the product's future availability.

Being Google, it doesn't seem that their support will end any time soon, and they still continue to sell other products like their cameras in UK.

We understand that many customers still prefer this model. Therefore, we have secured a limited stock of theNest Thermostat in Blackand theNest Thermostat in Copper. These are available while supplies last.

The 4th Generation: Compatibility Considerations

The 4th generation Nest Learning Thermostat, available in the United States since 2020, is not currently compatible with UK heating systems. Unfortunately, there has been no news of it hitting the UK shelves any time soon. The significant differences in wiring and voltage configurations between the two regions prevent its direct implementation.

Exploring Alternative Solutions: Hive

For those seeking a reliable and readily available smart thermostat solution, we recommend exploring the Hive product range. Hive thermostats are designed specifically for UK heating systems and offer robust functionality with ongoing support.

For homes with combi boilers, theHive Heating Onlythermostat is an excellent option. For conventional boilers with a hot water tank, we offer theHive Heating and Hot Waterthermostat.
