Nest with Electric Ireland

It's stated on their website. If you are already an EI customer then you can spread the cost on a monthly basis onto your existing bill. You would need to check with them in case they charge interest on top of that though.

Surely then you had the temperature set too high as it should have knocked itself off when it reached your desired temperature?

No fletch i never have heating on in morning and the temp went straight to 23c,

Any idea if you can add this to EI bill & split over months or have to pay up front?

It is split, even when one is an EI customer. It was separate to EI bill. Am paying €11 DD since February 2018 for 12 months. But changed provider for Electricity shortly after the installation of NEST without any issue.

I applied for the Hub Controller after reading about it on this thread. It looks though that the Seai grant is affected if you join the pilot program. We will probably need to replace our boiler in the next few years so should I give the Hub a miss??

I got the following clarification from an SEAI rep when i asked if installing Nest would affect my eligibility for €700 heating controls grant in future.

", If the three following requirements are met after installation of the Nest system, you wouldn't be eligible to apply in future for the Heating Controls grant.
- Two zones (space and water) with 7 day programmer (time / temperature),
- Time / temperature control of electric immersion,
- 1 additional zone OR installation of sufficient Thermostatic Radiator Valves."

My understanding is that if any one of the above listed measures were to be carried out in future e.g. installation of TRVs, then I would still be eligible for the grant.

Just switched over to IE with Nest from Energia.


I have four zones so I can expect I'll get one Nest for the 130 and can purchase the others from them and get installed via the installer?
Is the heatlink for each an extra purchase or does it come with the EU Nests in the box.

In hindsight I'm going to cancel the order as the Evohome would suit my setup better.

Thanks crazyhorse. We've two switches, one for downstairs heating and the other is for hot water and upstairs heating. I'm assuming that it'll be the downstairs switch that would be replaced with the Hub so going by the conditions you mentioned above then we should be OK to still get the grant

Had a fella call round from Electric Ireland to install Nest today.


Dunno why but had a feeling it wouldn't go well :pac: Anyway my piece of **** bolier which is already an issue only allows for the heating to be turned on with the water being turned on at the same time so doesn't support Nest!


Have to wait on my refund now.... Wonder how long will take?

So the hot water controls the radiators?

I was told the same this morning, he said because the heating system heats the water even if heat only is selected makes it incompatible with nest.

I was really surprised by this because I don't know of any gas boilers that don't heat the water at the same time as heating the rads . I can however heat water only if I choose that

The whole setup in my place is a bit ****e. The boiler is giving issues of late makes a load of high pitched noise after few mins being on then stops. Not all the radiators are the same temperature half the time and house is badly insulated so ya fun all round!

The wind that's out there now will basically go right threw front my place could have heating on for ages soon as goes off heat won't hang around for long!

I’m a little confused now after the last few posts. I posted the above a couple of weeks ago and the general consensus was that Nest would work with it but now it seems maybe not??

Did ya ring thrm?

Ok that sounds pretty standard. Can’t see why he couldn’t install it.

We have a gas boiler and it heats the water and radiators. Can’t separate the two.

It works no problem

I have a switch on the wall one side has button that goes on for heating other for water. The boiler will not start up fully till both are switched on. This was reason he said not to install as it would cause issues.

Bascially he said there told not to install them where there will be issues as Electric Ireland don't want the complaints.

on saturdays and sundays morning my heat comes on for almost 2 hours before we get up at 8am and its not timed to come on then.
anyone have these issues

Remove/reset the target temperatures and it shouldn't overwrite them.
