How to Keep the Temperature on Your Nest Thermostat

The Nest Thermostat has a lot of cool features, but one of its most basic features is the ability to maintain a consistent temperature in your home. In this mode, your air conditioning will turn on to maintain your set temperature. For example, this allows you to maintain a constant temperature of 72 degrees in your home, keeping you comfortable at all times of day. Oddly enough, this feature isn’t available on the Nest Thermostat E or Nest Learning Thermostat — but it’s easy to use on the standard Nest Thermostat.
