Google Ending Support for Nest Gen 1 & Gen 2: What Oklahoma Homeowners Need to Know

Big news from Google: support for first and second-generation Nest thermostats is ending. If your home still relies on one of these smart thermostats, it’s time to start thinking about a replacement—because remote access, updates, and functionality are all about to change.

Here’s what you need to know—and why Yarbrough & Sons Heating, Cooling & Plumbing has a better alternative that keeps you connected and comfortable.

🕓 What’s Happening?

As of October 25, 2025, Google will discontinue software support for Gen 1 and Gen 2 Nest thermostats. This means:

• ❌ No more remote access through the app
• ❌ No new firmware or security updates
• ❌ Gradual performance decline over time

While manual control will still work, smart functionality will be significantly reduced—making these models increasingly outdated.

🔁 Google’s Official Upgrade Path

Google is offering users the chance to upgrade to the Gen 4 Nest thermostat at a discounted price of $149. But that doesn’t include professional installation. So unless you’re comfortable handling thermostat wiring yourself, you’ll also need to factor in labor costs.
