    More instructional videos need to be like this one.
    It was easy to follow. You speak calmly and clearly with a fatherly figure tone, and you didn't have a 6 minute intro telling us the story of how you got your thermostat.
    This is a prime example of a great " how to..." video. Thank you.

    I bought the Nest Thermostat which ideally requires 5 wires but my old thermostat that was installed when the house was built in 2003 only has 4 wires and some of the wire colours are different than what the Nest Thermostat calls for, so this is how I connected it: My four wires coming out of the wall are Red, Green, Black and Blue. So, I connected the red wire to R, the green wire to G, the blue wire to Y and the black wire to W.

    Very useful video. I have a question. My thermostat has the usual Y, G, and W termini. In addition, it has an R and an Rc with a jumper between. When I entered these in Google Home, it returned as incompatible. However, you video showed that one can ignore the jumper and treat R and Rc as if there is only one R. Which is correct and why? Thank you!

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  2 года назад +1

      The Nest has a built-in internal jumper that takes the place of the physical jumper in your original thermostat, which was the same situation as was mine. So only one R connection is needed.

      This one came out in 2020 and is simply called the Nest Thermostat. It is currently the cheapest one they make.

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  3 года назад

      Most users won’t need to have a C Wire for this thermostat to work. The unit requires very little power to operate and can normally get what it needs from the existing wiring. The AA batteries serve as a backup in the event of a power outage.

    Don’t forget to let them know the major issues with Nest thermostats! Especially the one that pulses in your Y signal and makes contactor chatter which ultimately leads to equipment damage! I throw out a few nests per week. Supply houses and manufacturers have made us aware of the problems associated with nests. We actually have a higher diagnostic fee for nests. Not to mention the amazing technical support! You love em or hate em! Hvac mechanic for 27 years by the way. But great video!

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  3 года назад +7

      Nest states that their thermostats have built-in circuitry that compensates for the missing jumper, with an internal jumper between Rh and Rc. This enables you to just put your red wire into the “R” connection. Mine has worked perfectly. Thanks for watching!

      No, because the Nest has a built-in jumper, so you can get rid of the jumper from your old thermostat.

    Thank you for the video, so we don't have to worry about the fact that we don't have a C wire, I have the 4 wire just like you?

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  2 года назад

      In most cases, the lack of a C-wire won't be a problem. The thermostat requires very little power to operate and can usually get all the power it needs from the existing wiring.

    My old thermostat doesn't say anywhere whether its 110 or 120V, at least that I could find after looking at it thoroughly. Couldn't find it in the old instruction manual either. If it's not listed on the thermostat itself, do we just "assume" it's not a high voltage system? I'd prefer not to blow up my building, haha. My old one looks similar to the one in your video. FYI, my condo has a fairly standard forced air central air HVAC system, if that helps.
    PS...your video is a million times better and more helpful than the one big behemoth Google made about Nest, which basically says "take your old thermostat off, put Google Nest on, attach the wires, set it up in Google Home." 🙄 So good job and thanks!

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  3 года назад +1

      I would assume you have a low voltage system, but it's like you said, it's never safe to assume anything when you can't find any definite labels or markings that spell it out. The best way to determine what you have is by using a multimeter/voltmeter to measure the voltage at the thermostat. And thank you very much for watching...I appreciate it!

      @rickm.911 3 года назад +1

      @@HowSkills Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response, I "think" I found the answer. In the instruction manual of the old one, buried in one of the sections it says "This Hunter Thermostat will NOT control multi-stage heat pumps or 110/120 Volt systems." So based on that, it sounds like the old one is not a 110/120 V system? What do you think? Thanks again.

    We moved into a new home that has Nest. How can I get rid of it and replace with a simple thermostat. Like the M-F and Weekend modes, with 4 times of the day setting.
    Can a Nest thermostat be plucked away from the wall, except the wires, so I can install the old style one that I’m so used to?

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  7 месяцев назад +1

      You can pull a Nest Thermostat straight off of its connection to its base underneath. Then you can remove the wires from the base and remove the base itself to get access to the wires.

    Stan, what happened to the Rh to Rc jumper? You had it on your old thermostat but didn't put it on your G nest.

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  2 года назад +2

      The Nest thermostat has a built-in jumper, so my old jumper wasn't necessary. Nice feature.
