Products - Heating - Restart or reset the Nest thermostat

Sometimes you have to restart or reset the Nest thermostat if you experience a problem. Nest also indicates this in their support tips.

How do you do this exactly and what is the difference between restarting or resetting?

Restart the thermostat

• All your settings are retained, just like when you restart your phone.
• If the thermostat no longer responds, has problems with the internet connection or is no longer functioning normally, restarting the thermostat is a good first step for testing.

Reset the Nest thermostat

• All or part of the information is deleted, depending on the option you choose here.
• Resetting is useful if you move and want to reinstall your thermostat or if you need to delete your personal data.

For the exact steps, go to the Google Nest support page. If you still experience problems after resetting please feel free to contact us.
