Nest Compatibility Tool Says Hire Pro - Any reason this isn't straight-forward?
I live in Texas, all-electric system, no gas in my area. Any reason installing a Nest with this current setup shouldn't be straight-forward? Anything stand out that would necessitate the need to hire an HVAC professional to install it?

Welcome to the forums.
Looks like a fairly common setup. Heat pump with back up electric heat.
Which nest ?

Well thank you, glad to be here.
And the Nest Learning Thermostat, so, basically whatever the newest iteration of Nest thermostat that isn't the E.

You’d be better off with a Honeywell or Ecobee product. Nest isn’t a good product.
With a heat pump, it’s much more efficient leaving the setpoint alone unless your able to lock out the auxiliary heat.

In my previous house, I had a Honeywell WiFi thermostat and it wouldn’t let be set it cooling below 70 degrees. I have a room on that end of tbe house that sometimes requires it to be set at 69 or so to be cooled to my liking. It’s a kids room and his sleeping is very temperature sensitive, so that made that Honeywell a no-go for me.

Cooling and heating limits can be adjusted in the programming menus of Honeywell products.
Do you plan on raising and lowering heating setpoint during the day, as in occupied and unoccupied settings?
