    I'm in the process of buying an apartment at the moment and would like to get something like a nest.

    My thoughts were that I'd the heating would be 3 zone (i.e. the bedrooms, the living/kitchen and water).

    The nest seems to be something I would like and the fact that it's been acquired by Google means that it will probably be continuously developed.

    The heating system as the moment is a gas boiler (approx 15 years old) it's not condensing. There's no zone at the moment.

    What would I need to do to get zones setup and would the nest work for me?

    Would appreciate any recommendations you might have in relation to installers etc...

    First off id replace the boiler . Then when it comes to zoning , a repipe may be required if your not already set up to have zones . It's not a case of install stat and happy out , unfortunately, but asides from that I personally think nest is gimmicky and expensive.

    It's not particularly expensive - it's €250 if you get years use out of it then it's pretty inexpensive.

    What type of boiler would you be going for?

    Any recommendations on decent companies in the D.14 area?

    Thanking you kindly.
