Nest thermostat installation advice

[townfanjon]

as per title ,
Customer wants a nest fitting to his Viessmann , I have never done one , have no idea how you fit them , wire them and get them ready for wifi / net etc etc .
I know they have nest pro’s and I am tempted to push hime towards one.

Are they straightforward ? , I cant find any instructions anywhere .

Your thoughts please guys , cheers.

I can help you with wiring the thing and there's a few vids on line for set up

 

[townfanjon]

Cheers Shaun , blimey theres loads of vids online , will have a look at some later.

I cant get hold of the customer at the moment so I arent sure if he just wants the stat or the whole app thing for the phone .

Not fitted a nest but hive etc are just the same as a wireless stat and you download the app, register and set-up/control from the app

Am I right in thinking the stat can be wired or RF with a boiler unit

Think so , I cant get hold of him , if he wants the app bit doing as well is that just a matter of downloading from the app store

Nest needs to be hard wired or plugged into a socket with a stand and USB type cable
So it's not wireless

thats only for power dont have to run a cable back to the boiler

I charge £120.00 for fitting nest stat

I would allow a couple of hours to fit. The set up takes a while if you aren't familiar with them.

I find half the time fitting the nest,hive etc are the easyier part of the job.The time consuming bit can be the set up of the app an using the internet side of it/customer education,assuming cause they have seen the product an want it fitted,they’ll know how to use it.Then I get customers triple my age that are more tech savvy than me

Hook up N and L to the Heat Link as usual, then link L to 2 and 3 goes back to the boiler - combi boiler. Done!
