If you have a forced hot air system in the crawlspace you should cut a hole in one of the ducts so hot air is able to escape and really warm up the crawl space.

The only problem with nest and some of the other systems is they operate through the internet and in the Lakes Region their are lots of power outages that knock out cable from time to time.
