3rd Gen Nest Thermostat available for collection at Screwfix Live in Farnborough (Exhibition Centre). Normally £189 is the cheapest available - Flubit best price I was offered is still over £180, and cheapest these have been going for on eBay recently is around £160. So for anyone looking for one of these (as I have been) and can get to Farnborough this weekend this price is a genuine bargain. I still expect this deal to be voted cold on account of "it's a lot of money for a Thermostat" "it's collection only" & "it's only local to Farnborough". Despite all that, hopefully this still might help someone.

Ha, just got via ebay a couple of them as flubit never gave me under £180 as you said! :confused:
Good deal <3
Remember this not only a thermostat - it programs heating and hot water, so also gets rid of the 2 channel programmer

You have to go in person to the show in Farnborough - open tomorrow 10-4pm and buy from inside the show - apart from all the show stands there's ordering points, a bit like inside the Screwfix stores, where you can order anything from the Screwfix catalogue at 10% off, plus any show offers like this one at 20% off normal price (plus the further 10% show discount). They had loads in stock on the stand, but even if they run out you should still be able to order at the show price and get delivery next day from Screwfix warehouse. (I did that today for a few other bits I wanted).

Eek. I don't usually go on the nagative on deals but unless you are zoning your heating with something like Honeywell's Evohome system you are basically buying an expensive gadget that doesn't in any way address the inherent flaw in your current heating controls - the fact that the whole house heating is either on or off. The bizarre thing is you wouldn't dream of having just the one, whole house light switch and lighting your house is considerably cheaper than heating it. Save the outlay on one of these gadgets and put it towards an Evohome system...

If you're an nPower customer they offer these for £129 I believe

But then you'd almost certainly be paying more for your G&E than you should be. Swings and roundabouts, I guess :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm with nPower and I'm interested in one of these... the only thing might be the installers might sting you for not buying it through them. Also, if you think these devices will save you money they won't it's just a cool gadget (my reason for wanting it) because unless you are the type of person who forgets to turn off the heating when you go out then it won't really save you anything.
Anyone have any idea what a reasonable price for installation is?
