FAQ


Do I need a thermostat currently in my home to use a new Smart Thermostat?

Yes, a functioning thermostat is required in order for OnTech to install a smart thermostat.

Can OnTech install multiple Smart Thermostats?

OnTech can install multiple smart thermostats if your existing zoned system is capable of handling multiple thermostats.

Is my home's HVAC system compatible?

While most 24V heating and cooling systems are compatible with Nest thermostats, there are some systems that aren’t compatible.

If you're unsure about your home's HVAC compatibility, please use the Nest Compatibility Checker site to confirm your home is ready for a Nest Thermostat.

Are Nest thermostats compatible with 'zoned' HVAC systems?

If you have more than one thermostat in your home, you have a zoned system. In zoned systems, each thermostat controls heating and cooling independently in order to heat or cool different areas of the house. Thermostats in zoned systems can control the same heating and cooling system or each thermostat can control its own system. When multiple thermostats control one system, dampers in the ductwork open and close to heat or cool specific zones of the house.

Generally speaking, Nest thermostats are compatible with zoned systems panels. However, if your thermostat uses proprietary wires like Damp, OPN, or CLS to control dampers or zones, your system may not be compatible. Also, some zoned systems are configured with a “master” thermostat and a “slave” thermostat, where the “master” thermostat controls some or all functions of the “slave” thermostat. These types of systems may not be compatible with Nest thermostats.
