A.C. Mitchell it’s actually really easy bro.. just make sure you turn off your power of the house before you install it. If a dummy like me can do it without any help then anyone can..
Bro doing the electrical work is like that kids game where you need to put different shapes in different holes, props to the engineers for making this possible for my grandma!
This is a god damned revelation of an instructional video and combined with the online chat support where you can send pictures of your existing wiring etc this should get an academy award. Bravo google. Bravo. Amazing instructions.

This is all well & good …..for gas heat applications!!!! I jus left a house today with a HEAT PUMP & I suspect the installer didn’t configure Nest for the proper system! You need to show wiring & set up for both gas furnace/ac… and heat pump with auxiliary/emergency!!! Now I have to go back to this house & check wiring at Nest & configure for heat pump! The Installer is the main person to blame so far!!!! I’m glad you have info that helps with install & removal! I don’t wanna tear it up taking it off the wall! Wish me luck!
Just installed this in my home. The video was very helpful. I’ve never done any electrical work before but it was simple. I recommend having a wire stripper in case you need to clean up some of the wires.
Couldn't be easier...my a/c-furnace thermostat had a 5th brown wire that connected to the "C" terminal....worked like a charm. I believe that some systems have a brown/blue wire that connects to the "C" terminal as mine did. Many thanks to your video for making the installation and setup a piece of cake. Saved me so much time and effort. The Nest system is soooo easy to use. Love it!
I just got done setting mine up, I was so shaky disconnecting the wires even though I shut off all electricity to the house. XD I haven't done many things with electrical work in my life, and this is extremely easy and dummy proof. So glad this video existed, very helpful.
@@joelauro5152 that's so good to know. I'm planning on setting up a electronic doorbell so I'm hoping it's going to be at just as easy, even though I probably still have a mild panic attack setting it up.
@@joelauro5152 you should still always turn the power off. Not so much to protect you from low voltages (even if it was 120 you would only feel a tingle) but actually to prevent yourself from shorting out the small fuses and electronics that are inevitably part of an AC system👍🏽
@@OutdoorCanadians 120v is severe with standard house amperage.. This person saying 120v would 'tingle' is intentionally trying to hurt or kill you with that misinformation.
@@toddnakrosis4415 I’m an electrician and have been hit with 120v a lot. It just makes you back off. It’s a jolt for sure but no physical pain is felt.
Thanks for showing us this and clearly. My dad isn't very convinced to switch from a basic thermostat to a smart one but he will if he knows it'll save him money 😉
I just had my Nest thermostat installed a couple of days ago and my house is cooling like there's no tomorrow. This is great as I live in Southwest Florida. I love it!
If you just have a Red wire, hook it to either Rh or Rc, doesn't mater... Unlike most thermostats, the Nest Learning Thermostat does not require a jumper wire between Rh and Rc. Nest knows that if you've got heating and cooling, and just one R wire, the power source is shared between them. ... Nest Thermostat connectors are built so that only one wire can be inserted per connector.
Someone on here commented "I wonder how many people had to call a professional after they blew a fuse" and that was enough for me to troubleshoot it myself after I did in fact blow a fuse 🤣🤣🤣
Install was pretty easy, works to spec (in the short run.) The hardest part is having to matching the 20 year old paint, which I am going to call 'Navajo dirt floor' for demonstration purposes. I sure hope that this thing lasts.
Pro tip: cut out a inch x inch square and take it to a paint shop. They use a computer to match the color. Be sure the sample location is a good representation of the color since sun/grease/dust might make it look different than you want. Get a sample size of paint which often is free and then test it out. Mine matched perfectly
Mine worked great. Easy install of 20 minutes, set up took about 5. I have only 3rd world construction skills and it went smoothly. (Matched up 4 wire system with Gas Forced Air heat and Electric A/C). Watch the video first and it all applied easily.
I don’t even have a nest. I just wanted to watch this video cause I heard it was good. I’m in marketing and develop stuff like this, and this video, is great. I can’t put my finger on exactly why but it’s a hit.
After several attempts and after being connected hours later I followed these steps and it worked. I suggest connect it for a few hours then connect it through the app
Good guide, was a bit worried about red wire, there was a fork RC RH or w/e they called. Tossed fork away, put red into RH just like in the video. Yellow green and white were a breeze. It’s all worked out like a charm. I really like this thermostat. Got it for about $200 from amazon on sale and there is no stupid subscription for this item. And it works with my HUE lights system. GREAT PRODUCT, I highly recommend and thank you Nest Labs for this detailed guide. ❤️
Just googled this as I had the same concern. Nest thermostats don't use jumper wires and you can simply ignore it. They use an internal jumper between the Rh and Rc connectors, so an R wire can go into a Nest Learning Thermostat's Rc or Rh connector.
@@Vladi_AK47 there is no industry standard for hvac wire colours in the USA is what I’m telling you. If you are offended at this please take it up with your country and condominium, OR, just suck it up and take the L.
@@htko89 i nailed installation with no education or experience as electrician, first try, solely by RUclips video guide. You saying that I got lucky equals you admitting “taking an L”, my friend pedigree pal. Go check some old door bells chimes from 90s. Same black and red wiring with optional green. Standards? Never heard of them HA HA
I just want to throw this in here for a heads up. When I installed mine, the "W" cord (the white one) was in the "W" slot on my old thermostat. When I inserted it into the "W" slot into the NEST, only the heat came on. If you're having this problem, take the "W" cord and insert it into the "O/B" slot. The video doesn't tell you this, so it might not apply to everyone, but that's what got mine working. Other than that, set up really is a breeze.
They shouldn't even have this video on here. It's way too basic. Installing the Nest isn't hard, but this doesn't really take into consideration things like what you went through.
Very helpful, not overly complicated, nice voice, good product. i just bout the nest and so far so good. expensive but i think it will pay for itself. looks good on the wall.
Great video. I have a forced air gas furnace used only for heating. Also have a air handler with outdoor condenser used only for cooling. When I connect air handler(cooling) to Rc and furnace(heating) to Rh. The furnace will not turned on. But if i removed the Rc, then furnace works fine. Furnace only has R and W1. Air handler has R, G Y,C. Can my Nest control two separate systems? Thanks.
Mine has a bridge on rc to r so idk what to do with that but everything else yall made simple, love this guide. I would recommend this product to everyone and im an installer.
Do I have to turn it off at the breaker box, or can I just turn the furnace off at the off switch on the side of the cabinet? What's this about a "C" connection or the Nest won't work?
Will it control furnace blower ON/OFF? My humidifier is mist kind and requires heat and blower working together with humidifier. My humidifier also requires furnace blower to work a couple minutes after humidifier switches off automatically to distribute all the moisture collected in the duct. If blower stops the same time with mist humidifier moisture still will sit inside plenum and makes it rust. Will this Humidifier Control have this setting so furnace blower work few minutes after humidifier switched off??
Can you add those threshold settings like in Ecobee? In cold areas, furnaces might short cycle every 15mins like four times per hour and waste energy. If we can set the heat to run a minimal 30 mins and the start to run threshold to be 2F, it would actually save more energy.
What if i dont have receiver in the house ? There is no wire from boiler to my house. Can i install the base in the garage and keep the thermostat part inside ? will it connect wirelessly ?
Wait they show the old stat with the red wire in the RC slot , he puts a RH sticker on then hooks it to the RH on the new stat .. was this a Blooper ? why the change and not hook it RC on the nest like it was on the old stat ?
when i hooked all the wires up to the base all i got was hot air. i had yellow in Y, green in G, orange in W1, white in W1, brown in C and red in Rh. when i moved the orange from W1 to OB and the red wire from Rh to Rc, i was able to get cold air when the AC was supposed to be on.
I moved into this house last June with the Nest installed already by the previous owner. The unit has been working fine until last night. The Internet has been disconnected. I checked the Nest and it indicated that the batter power is too low -- 3.716V. And I check the Equipment has this configuration: W1-Y1-G-Rc. I pulled out the Nest, and there is no C wire. Should I run a C wire to keep the Next charged up all the time as suggested by some?
So easy!!! Googliness to the next level, although in 2024 the icons on the Nest are not color like the ones in this video ... Sad BUT its soo cool! Hoping that temp sensor works as advertised.
One thing I don't understand. On the old wiring it says RC for the red wire on the right. Why do they connect the RH sticker to the RC cable?? Especially since there is a RH connection on the Nest.
A little explaining of the wires would help. You had a red wire with just R on it. But somehow you knew to label it RH not the other choice , so how does that work?
So what happens if you have a dual Heat Pump/ Oil furnace system that is automatically switched from one system to another based on the outside temperature. Can you still use the Nest for that setup?
What happened to the wiring guide? I selected my wires told I was compatible and when I installed it I got an error message saying I needed another wire
I went through it with a friend and he helped me make it work. I had to connect a C wire. In the end I added 2 wires to my wiring setup. But it functions. Personally as I'm not a fan of it. I just assumed it would be better than a regular programmable thermostat but it's not really the case. In my opinion the learning is a gimmick seems almost useless. Setup was overly complicated. Only a single person can have the app connected. Setting up a time schedule is 50x more complicated than it should be. After a couple of days I'd rate it 3 out of 5. If I had bought it at Costco or another store I visit regularly I would return it
I bought one of these, and the first month it was in place my bill soared from 450 dollars to more than 1250 dollars. I called, and they said, "that happens sometimes." They told me how to turn off the "smart" features of the thermostat, and I paid my insane electric bill. I later found out my kids were coming home from school and cranking the ac down in the heat of summer when nobody was home, so that's what it started doing. Can't blame the company for that, but oh my goodness was that a sad discovery. It doesn't seem to shut off reliably when the temperature is reached (it gets way chilly) as well. Can't say I recommend this product because now it's just a pretty thermostat. There needs to be a warning on the box.
Hello I have a ritetemp thermostat 8050 my wires are blue is C. RC & RH are jumped white is O. green is G but here’s the question the yellow wire is jumped from W & Y I did hook it up to Y is that right. The thermostat I tried had heat only It’s a Goodman heat pump. Wish I could post a picture of the wires.
My existing Honeywell thermostat is connected to the Central Heating pump only and controls that. When the temperature in our hall, where it's situated, drops then the thermostat detects that and turns on the pump and that fires up the boiler and hence the radiators get hot again. Simples! Why complicate matters so with a swanky device and anyway what it 'Fan' ? I don't have that.
I have tried installing my Google nest in 3 different homes now and it hasn't been compatible with ANY of them. What kind of system does is need to work!?
I installed mine perfect. Why does it pump out heat when I turn on the a.c.? I know I have the wires seated perfectly in the correct spots. I have the heat setting set for electrical for my central heating and air.
I have a water furnace Honeywell thermostat with A+ B- R and C . The google nest 3 gen has different labelling . Can you please let me know what wires will correspond to the same in Google nest
Looks like this only works on American homes that use air conditioning units? In Europe or the Netherlands we only have boiler systems, that go on when it's cold enough or off when there is no heat needed.
As I wait for delivery of my thermostat, it would have been helpful if the *.pdf and/or this video had the dimensions of the Nest thermostat stated so I would know if I needed to either spackle and paint the wall or get a faceplate to cover the old thermostat marks.
My system has 5 wires, but still no power available. Does it mean the c-wire is not connected to furnace correctly or is it something else? FYI, the software part of the thermostat is the hardest part to deal with. The ring control is not simple either. Does every person in the house have to install both apps and create an account so they can control the thermostat too?
Sound like you had or having fun…. I’m wrkg on a heat pump someone installed this thermostat on! They didn’t configure for heat pump system & didn’t have extra wire to strip heat hooked up either! I hate going behind people(tech’s & installers) that don’t finish or double check their work!! Good luck! Wish me luck too! Heading back soon with info gathered!The SENSI EMERSON THERMOSTAT WAS EASIER FOR ME TO INSTALL & eventually set up! I put 6 in a church! They all pop up on app! Easier to configure 👌👋🏼
Here is a question, why doesnt NEST have control over HRV? These are mandatory on all newer homes over the past decade. Its one of the reasons why i cant use nest thermostat. Also, why must the system mode be on 'heat or cool' in order to just turn on the fan?
Y’all making a brotha feel like he can do anything with this instruction video! Imma see my hand at nuclear physics next. Thanks Nest!

Can you crash pay to win thermostats?
Yep, except the shapes don't blow up or electrocute you...

@ 1:19 you can see that the native Red wire is connected to the "R" slot not "RC" ruclips.net/video/dHKD-9uI24I/видео.htmlm19s
My Ac has 27 volts instead of 24 volts can I install the google nest thermostat.
A little explaining of the wires would help. You had a red wire with just R on it. But somehow you knew to label it RH not the other choice , so how does that work?
So what happens if you have a dual Heat Pump/ Oil furnace system that is automatically switched from one system to another based on the outside temperature. Can you still use the Nest for that setup?
What happened to the wiring guide? I selected my wires told I was compatible and when I installed it I got an error message saying I needed another wire
same
I went through it with a friend and he helped me make it work. I had to connect a C wire. In the end I added 2 wires to my wiring setup. But it functions.
Personally as I'm not a fan of it. I just assumed it would be better than a regular programmable thermostat but it's not really the case.
In my opinion the learning is a gimmick seems almost useless. Setup was overly complicated. Only a single person can have the app connected. Setting up a time schedule is 50x more complicated than it should be.
After a couple of days I'd rate it 3 out of 5. If I had bought it at Costco or another store I visit regularly I would return it
What about the the unit that attaches to the boiler? No mention of how easy it is to install that
I bought one of these, and the first month it was in place my bill soared from 450 dollars to more than 1250 dollars. I called, and they said, "that happens sometimes." They told me how to turn off the "smart" features of the thermostat, and I paid my insane electric bill. I later found out my kids were coming home from school and cranking the ac down in the heat of summer when nobody was home, so that's what it started doing. Can't blame the company for that, but oh my goodness was that a sad discovery. It doesn't seem to shut off reliably when the temperature is reached (it gets way chilly) as well. Can't say I recommend this product because now it's just a pretty thermostat. There needs to be a warning on the box.
Set notifications. If temperature drops above or below where you want it, you'll get a notification
There is also a limit you can enter and a code required to override the range. Helpful for situations like this or for AirBnb's etc
Hello I have a ritetemp thermostat 8050 my wires are blue is C. RC & RH are jumped white is O. green is G but here’s the question the yellow wire is jumped from W & Y I did hook it up to Y is that right. The thermostat I tried had heat only It’s a Goodman heat pump. Wish I could post a picture of the wires.
Mine didn't blow cold after doing exactly this. Any suggestions.
A common line or should I say a fifth Line maybe needed. The line to be stripped & connected on both the nest and furnace well.
My existing Honeywell thermostat is connected to the Central Heating pump only and controls that. When the temperature in our hall, where it's situated, drops then the thermostat detects that and turns on the pump and that fires up the boiler and hence the radiators get hot again. Simples!
Why complicate matters so with a swanky device and anyway what it 'Fan' ? I don't have that.
I have tried installing my Google nest in 3 different homes now and it hasn't been compatible with ANY of them. What kind of system does is need to work!?
I have a old Honeywell thermostat will it work if I put in the Google
I installed mine perfect. Why does it pump out heat when I turn on the a.c.?
I know I have the wires seated perfectly in the correct spots. I have the heat setting set for electrical for my central heating and air.
Michael PaulRa You need to change your B/O setting
I have a water furnace Honeywell thermostat with A+ B- R and C . The google nest 3 gen has different labelling . Can you please let me know what wires will correspond to the same in Google nest
I'm having an issue where it keeps saying no usage under the history. Anyone else having this problem? And how did you fix it? Thanks
Did anyone notice that at 5:01 the Nest App only had a 1.5 star rating on the App store?
Do “THEY” control you heat and A/C settings????
Any know if this system still works manually if the wifi is down? Thanks
Looks like this only works on American homes that use air conditioning units? In Europe or the Netherlands we only have boiler systems, that go on when it's cold enough or off when there is no heat needed.
This does not require a common wire or access to the central furnace, correct?
On my thermostat it has Y and on the frame it has Y1 and Y2 so I don’t know what to do
As I wait for delivery of my thermostat, it would have been helpful if the *.pdf and/or this video had the dimensions of the Nest thermostat stated so I would know if I needed to either spackle and paint the wall or get a faceplate to cover the old thermostat marks.

I have 5 wires, the last one being blue. Where does it go?
Liked subscribed and rang the bell. Love your videos!
can this be installed near hvac system?
My system has 5 wires, but still no power available. Does it mean the c-wire is not connected to furnace correctly or is it something else? FYI, the software part of the thermostat is the hardest part to deal with. The ring control is not simple either. Does every person in the house have to install both apps and create an account so they can control the thermostat too?
Sound like you had or having fun…. I’m wrkg on a heat pump someone installed this thermostat on!
They didn’t configure for heat pump system & didn’t have extra wire to strip heat hooked up either! I hate going behind people(tech’s & installers) that don’t finish or double check their work!! Good luck! Wish me luck too! Heading back soon with info gathered!The SENSI EMERSON THERMOSTAT WAS EASIER FOR ME TO INSTALL & eventually set up! I put 6 in a church! They all pop up on app! Easier to configure 👌👋🏼
You don’t need a C wire to power this thermostat?
do you need a four wire setup?
Surprised there's not a link to the compatibility page in the description. I know i can search but, it's the little things.
No necesita el cable C?
Here is a question, why doesnt NEST have control over HRV? These are mandatory on all newer homes over the past decade. Its one of the reasons why i cant use nest thermostat. Also, why must the system mode be on 'heat or cool' in order to just turn on the fan?
Can you use the Google home app to set up?
