Can You Get the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) in the UK?

• Google's regional availability page lists the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen), the Google Nest Thermostat and the Nest Temperature Sensor (2nd gen) for Canada and the US only
• Google says a thermostat made for the US or Canada will not work with European systems, because European models need a Heat Link and support for high voltage
• The European 3rd gen shares its name with the North American 3rd gen but, Google says, is engineered separately, with a Heat Link, hot water control and OpenTherm
• The Nest Temperature Sensor is supported only in the US, Canada and Mexico, and Google says thermostats made for other countries are not compatible with it

• The Register and 9to5Google report Google saying it would no longer launch new Nest thermostats in Europe
• The reason given was that European heating systems are unique, with many hardware and software requirements
• Google said it was instead enabling established smart thermostat companies to build energy devices, according to The Register
• 9to5Google reported that the 3rd gen Learning Thermostat and the Thermostat E would stay on sale in Europe while supplies last, keeping security updates and app control

• Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd gen): Google Store UK showed it as out of stock on 1 November 2026, and Google's regional page does not list it. Google lists it for combi, system and heat-only boilers, hot water cylinders, wet underfloor heating, heat pumps for heating only, zoned systems and OpenTherm
• Nest Thermostat E: Google Store UK still offered it with an Add to basket button on 1 November 2026. Google lists it for combi and heat-only boilers, heat pumps for heating only, zoned systems and district heating with electrical control valves, with no stored hot water
• The 3rd gen's Heat Link goes where the programmer was; the Thermostat E's Heat Link E usually takes the room thermostat's place
• Stock bought from another shop should be the UK or EU version, since Google says North American models will not work with European systems

• Return it to the seller if you can
• Fit a UK model instead: a Nest Thermostat E, or a 3rd gen Learning Thermostat if you find UK stock
• Choose another smart thermostat brand made for UK boilers; JACK pros fit Hive and tado° at the wall as well as Nest
• Keep a 3rd gen or Thermostat E you already have: Google's 2025 end of support covered only the 1st and 2nd gen Learning Thermostats

• The box or order, showing the model and that it is the UK version
• Your current programmer or room thermostat
• The boiler's make and model, and whether there is a hot water cylinder

A vetted pro prices your Nest job from the model and your photos, and the JACK app shows that fixed price before you book.

On heating, where the Heat Link goes moves the price most: a 3rd gen Heat Link in place of a programmer on the same wiring is the plainest job, while hot water on a cylinder, an S-plan or Y-plan wiring centre or an old wired thermostat to take out of the circuit adds to it. Anything that must be wired at the boiler itself is left out of the price and handed to a Gas Safe registered engineer.

On doorbells and cameras, power comes first: a battery doorbell or Nest Cam with a good 2.4 GHz signal is the lightest job, a weak bell transformer is swapped on its existing supply, and the Nest Cam with floodlight is priced as electrical work on your outside-light circuit. For a camera high on a gable, your pro can ask another pro on JACK to help through the Pro2Pro feature.

JACK does not sell devices, so the Nest kit is yours to buy. Accessories the job needs, such as a bell transformer, a fused spur or an outdoor junction box, are agreed and added at cost before you book, and so is parking where it has to be paid for. Several devices go on one booking for one fixed price. Prefer to pay for time? As a guide, hourly hire is typically £45–£95 per hour for smart home work and £55–£110 per hour for electrical work, and a full-day handyman booking is a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
