To meet the growing demand for smart home products and services, Nest rolls out Handy-powered booking across the U.S. and Canada

 NEW YORK, NY - October 30, 2020 - Today, Handy announced the international expansion of their partnership with Google Nest. Building on the offering announced in June for Handy-powered professional installation on the Google Store, booking through Handy is now available to all eligible Nest thermostats across the U.S. and in parts of Canada.

Nest thermostats, including the latest version released earlier this month, will alert users to potential heating and cooling system (HVAC) issues. When an issue is detected, Nest sends an alert to the Home app or via email where users can then easily book an appointment with a qualified HVAC Pro from Handy. After a successful beta launch in January 2020, Nest is expanding the service offering from 20 metro areas to all eligible Nest thermostats across the U.S. and in parts of Canada. With all of the additional wear and tear on our homes these days, alerts will help you stay on top of maintenance and conveniently book an HVAC Pro in your area if needed.

Handy provides best-in-class home service solutions with flexible scheduling options and preferred pricing, all backed by the Handy Happiness Guarantee. In response to COVID-19, Handy has implemented the Handy Safety Standard to foster a safe environment to better serve the professionals and customers on the platform. 

“We are thrilled by the success and expansion of our partnership with Google Nest,” said Handy CEO and Co-Founder, Oisin Hanrahan. “These kinds of Handy-powered services are helping Nest users across the U.S. and parts of Canada easily maintain their smart devices so they can better enjoy the increased time they are now spending in the home.”
