Haha @RandomGrinch yes I am! I've had 3 Nest E thermostats gathering dust since I had an extension done. I've got 3 in total I want to do; 1. is my main house thermostat that controls the central heating and hot water, 2. separate thermostat for wet underfloor heating in the kitchen and 3...

Hi, I'd like to replace my British Gas Thermostat with a Nest. I've taken the BG one off the wall and confused by the wiring, hoping somebody could help with how to wire it into the Nest for my central heating and hot water? Thanks, Steve

Just following up on my original post, I've followed the instructions as per RandomGrinch and it's worked perfectly, all now set up and installed in under 30 mins. Very easy job, thanks again for the help!

Thank you both; I'll have a go and report back on how it works out

Hi all, I want to have a go at replacing my current combi boiler thermostat with a Nest. I currently have a Potterton boiler installed with a timer and thermostat. I believe the Nest E can replace the thermostat component but I am not sure on the correct wiring. Appreciate if anyone can provide...

Thanks ianmcd

Hi guys, I'm having some trouble with my builder and the plumber who fitted my underfloor heating. In a nutshell, the plumber has laid Hetta aluminium pipes over c. 40 square metres comprising of two zones. The builder has then laid around 6cm of semi dry aggregate-based fibre screed. He's then...

Thanks - I am tempted to leave the lifestyle thermostat in for the main house and at least give the nests a try with the underfloor given I've already bought them. If they are no good, I'll replace all with heatmiser setup

ok thanks, understood. So am I best off discarding my nest thermostats all together or can I use one nest for the house radiators + hot water, but adding a heatmiser for each underfloor heating zone? Is the alternative to put in a heatmiser setup across the whole house?

Thanks for the comment. I just wanted to run all of my heating and hot water off a single app and I understood the nest ecosystem to be one of the best along with Hive systems.

Thanks for the reply. I will try the tech departments of both companies but I would have thought they wont know each others products to comment. Yes I see your point on taking the screed layer above the inner layer of brick. I've today had bi-folds fitted along the outer layer. The plan is then...

Hi guys, Hoping I can get some input on a subject related to an extension I am currently having done. My set up is that I have central heating in the majority of the house but as part of my ground floor extension, I am having a water pipe underfloor heating system fitted. I have a megaflow...

Hi guys, I'm hoping to get some professional opinion on how my builder has gone about my extension and particularly screeding over the underfloor. The project is to take a room which was originally 7m by 3m and extend it out 7m x 5m, and fitting underfloor heating throughout. The original...
