ALWAYS try your best to match one for one from your original wiring to the Nest. Here are the connectors explained:
RED=Powers (normally) and goes into Rh or Rc and sometimes has a jumper to connect the two (if your original had a jumper, nest needs one to)
Green=Fan (normally) and should go into G
Yellow=Cool/Air (A/C) (normally) and usually goes into Y1
Blue=Common (normally) and is used for things that have home automation and goes into C
White=Heat (normally) central heating unit can also need a black wire and you might also have a heat pump, but white goes into W1 normally
Orange=heat pump (normally) and goes into O/B above Rc
Black=staged heat (normally) and goes into * (star connector) also black normally goes into the * Star connector
Your system’s wiring may or may not need to use the Nest thermostat’s star connector, so you should always use the compatibility checker to get a custom wiring diagram before connecting any wires to the star connector.
Nest Learning Thermostats and the Nest Thermostat E use the star connector a bit differently and support different wires and system features.
This might help as well, here is a graphic of what I typed below

This video was so helpful. Your explanations of wires and what they're for made the difference and allowed me to troubleshoot and figure out the right configuration on my own! Thank you.
Huge help! Thank you so much, this video should be required watching when installing a nest. Perfect vid, nice and slow explanation, clear shots, got right to it, no time wasted. I couldn't get the ac to operate but all good after watching this!
Let me add a little to those that have heating and cooling in the same unit hvac. I had red, dark blue, white, black and green wires. The people on nest helped me a lot what they told me to do was to plug the white wire to Y1 and the black wire to OB, and of course the rest of the cables. Really great service!
LOVE THIS Love this, large and stable.
you saved my day and made my installation possible, ps mine was a Christmas present so you can imagine how excited I was to get it working
Thank you for explaining the wires!
Thanks your video was very helpful. I think they have made significant changes to the 3rd Gen.
Great job of explaining installation and setup. Thanks
My Air handler in in the attic and has an overflow control for the drip pan. The two lines coming off the overflow control; one to the red which connect to Rc for power the other was connect to the back line to the thermostat however the black line is not connect to the Nest. Should the black line be connected to the * connection on the nest so the if water in the drip pan get to high the nest would turn off the unit?
If you look right below my video, in the description, I map out all the wires and even have a picture. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your video, I have watched several, and yours is the best so far ... thank you!
Great video and well explained. Thank you!!
So super simple question. Did you put in plastic anchors for the screws or did you just run those screws into the drywall?
I use sheet rock screws so I don’t have to deal with anchors. I love them amzn.to/2PsSOMq
Plugging the BLUE wire into W2 - Thank you! That was not obvious from my previous thermostat. The A/C worked all Summer. Now the Heater is working too!
Rick Fisher why W2 instead of C?
Great explanation
Thanks for the help .
ive got a trane thermostat and ive contacted google support about it not cooling. I had the heat pump balance on but then when I turned it off, it still didnt work. heat works but cooling just blows out mild cool air. I put the trane back onn and it works fine. :(
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION
Good Explanation. Im Going To Get One and Install It in My Home.
Thanks Zachus.
Nice showing 👍
What about the black wire? What do I plug that one into?
Look under the video in the description, I put full wire diagrams in there. Let me know if you can't find them. I hope this helps!
I have a yellow green white blue orange and red wire. Trying to setup the 3rd gen learning thermostat. First time I did it the fan was just working. It felt like the AC wasn’t on. Help me lol
Did you take a picture of your previous setup like I suggest on the video? A lot of times builders or older homes have different wires. For example a yellow wire that's actually a power red wire... that's why it's critical to look at your previous setup and take a picture. If you have an upstairs, see if you can go up there and take a picture of that one.
If you look at the bottom of the video in the Description area. I have several images with wire diagrams that might help as well.
Great video! Well narrated! Thank you!
Thanks for posting, very straightforward overview.
Thank You for the information connections !! Question? I just got my nest thermostat today !! Can the temperature control be changed to Celsius ??? Good job, Thank you, RON
Yes, it’s in the settings. It’s a global product
@@Zachus Once again, Thank You very much !!
Quick question: did you turn your power off before switching out the old one?
Salman Khoja when I installed I turned it off
Amazing video. I was reading other comments to get more info. about wiring. I read your description too but there is no brown wire info. there either. Could you provide me some information regarding where the brown wire goes?
I have Red (R), Orange (O), Blue (C), Yellow (Y1), White (W2), Green (G), and Brown (E/W1). I have a heat pump system and a Braeburn 2200 thermostat. Please help! Thank you!
Did you ever find out
Zachus this is true in my case. Help the nest wire connection ports don't allow for 2 wires to be placed in "one" whole. How in the world do I set up the "jumper"?
"sometimes has a jumper to connect the two (if your original had a jumper, nest needs one to)"
Yes or you can try it without the jumper. I didn’t need it
My original thermostat has a blue wire which on the Nest is O and I also have a brown wire which is B. There is only one OB option on the Nest, what do you suggest as a work around?
Did you find the answer? I missed this somehow, sorry. I would think that the O and B go in the same place? But I'd verify that.
Thanks dude! I'm sold now!
My setup is like yours expect I don’t have a black wire. Plus I believe for some reason instead of a blue wire, I have a brown wire. Is that normal? I put it in the C. Someone here said they put it in w2? Why? What’s the difference?
It should be blue and it's called a common wire. It for automated devices. How old is your house? You might have to get an A/C guy to run one for you. Look down in the comments, I specify all the wires and what they are for. Hope this helps
Did you turn the A/C off before disconnecting the wires?
It is recommended but I did not
Thank you for the vid. Very helpful. I'm still wondering how to connect the wifi though..
This should have happened when you set it up. It didn't walk you through that? It's part of the video. If not then you can go into settings and setup the wifi by finding your router and putting in your password
Hi my is almost the same no black I installed I have a problem when I put hot cold air come out my is a heat pump
If you look right under the video in description there's a description of all wires and a graphic that will show you various ways to set this up. Hope this helps
Is is necessary to flip breaker off for Furnace ?
Dude... you have a very soothing voice :D. Anyways, I just ordered a g3 nest but what I'm confused about is, on my current thermostat (Honeywell t87f), blue wire is connected to Rh and Red to Rc. Everything else is proper. So I guess my question is, should I use the same wire config on the nest g3 or should I put blue to C and keep R on Rc? Also, it's for an oil heating system.
Recommendation is always to keep the wires the same, so if blue is power on honeywell then keep it to Rh, it'll tell you when it runs its test if anything is wrong. It could be your builder put in the wrong color wire or something but always match it as best as possible. I've done 3 installs now, 2 with the 3rd gen and 1 with the new thermostat e and they varied a little for sure, you can see that video as well. Hope this helps, thanks so much for watching
Where did you put wire for humidifier? My existing thermostat has humidifier
See all the info in the description under the video
I have 6 wire White Rodgers 1F79 and want to replace it with a Nest THERMOSTAT? Any idea!
Hey Joel, if you look right under the video in the description, I have all the wire colors and configurations there with diagrams. I hope this helps
Quick Question : Did your wires are compatible for your thermostat?
I'm sorry I don't understand what your question is.
I'm trying to figure out which wire goes to which, I have a less than 5 year old HVAC unit made by Carrier. It has Yellow wire, Blue wire, Red wire, Green wire, White wire and Orange wire. The thermostat wire was not labeled at all. There's no black wire to my thermostat. I am trying to install Nest Gen 3.
Look in the description under the video and it shows the wire colors and what they go to. Also if you have another thermostat that is working or a picture of your old one, you can just match them one for one.
Question How does the nest charge ? Mine does not charge and turns off after a few days
Thank you
Nest Thermostat doesn't have a battery. Did you follow the video and connect the power? The screen doesn't stay on, it only shows when it detects motion such as when you walk by it. This is to preserve power and the screen. You can also see it on any of your google devices, Nest App, etc...as well as adjust the temp with these devices. Hope this helps
I don’t have WiFi set up yet
Is WiFi required for installation?
Or can I add WiFi functionality later?
Wifi is not a requirement but the entire point of buying an expensive smart thermostat is the wifi capabilities ;) so you can control it remotely, adjust the schedule, monitor habits, stats, etc...
My furnace has only two wires... brown and white... and I don't have air condition...
Could I use for the green wire a ground? Would it work just for furnace?
You only use the wires you have, if you don't have air conditioning then it's fine those wires won't be there. Hope this helps
Hey man, thanks for explaining wires. So, in the manual of the Thermostat E, it says if I have Rh and Rc I have dual transformer system, and it won’t be compatible with my Thermostat, and I have to get the more expensive one (learning), this is misleading since I did some research and compatibility check and it was compatible. Anyways, I have an Rh and Rc jumper, and the red is connected to the Rh, I also have a white wire connected to the W. Do you know if the Thermostat I bought is compatible?
You can look at the description of my Nest videos for more info on wires and diagrams, pictures, etc...
I'm trying to use mine on a Quadra-Fire Santa Fe. It only has two wires, a Red and White. The red is on the Rh port and the white is in the W1 port. So I put them into the same spots on the Nest. As soon as power is supplied. The stove turns on and begins feeding. Before the Nest has even fully booted up. The stove turns on and burns at full power. Once the Nest boots up, no matter what setting you put it on. On, Off, Eco, Heat up, Heat down, etc doesn't matter. The stove just continues to burn on full power. I've contacted Nest support and all they did was send me a new base with the same issues. Contacted a Nest Authorized repair man and he mentioned needing a "C" Common Wire. What's your take on this? I was under the impression that the "C" powered the Nest because the 2 wire Stove doesn't supply enough power. But both are turned on and Nest claims it can run with only the 2 wires.
This could mean that whoever installed your previous thermostat put the wrong colors in for different things. Did you take a picture or remember where the wires are from the previous thermostat to match them over? If not you may have to get a professional to check it out. If you have a neighbor that has the same setup, go look at theirs. You should be able to see on any thermostat what the code is and match it over the Nest. Hope this helps
Did you ever figure this out?
I have SEVEN wires and my NEST only has six slots. What do I do? In addition to what you have, I have a brown one.
Look in the description below the video and you'll find a complete set of all wires and an image to show you. Let me know if this doesn't help. Thanks
I have central air but I don’t have the yellow wire what do I need to do?
Did you take a picture of your original setup before you uninstalled it? If so look back at that and see which wire was connected to Y. If not, do you have an upstairs, that is still setup like the old one, hopefully so and you can go take a picture of it. Often, especially in older homes, construction/builder/installers don't always follow the color rules and take short cuts. That's why I always recommend a picture before you take it off so you know where everything was and what color was on what.
If you have AC then you have a white for Y but it might not be yellow. Under the video in the description there is more details about colors and a picture. If all other wires but one are accounted for, you might be good to test that one but carefully at your own risk.
Can you help me please I have a configurations just like your but I have an orange wire to terminal OB and why the black wire I going to the star ?
ALWAYS try your best to match one for one from your original wiring to the Nest. Here are the connectors explained:
RED=Powers (normally) and goes into Rh or Rc and sometimes has a jumper to connect the two (if your original had a jumper, nest needs one to)
Green=Fan (normally) and should go into G
Yellow=Cool/Air (A/C) (normally) and usually goes into Y1
Blue=Common (normally) and is used for things that have home automation and goes into C
White=Heat (normally) central heating unit can also need a black wire and you might also have a heat pump, but white goes into W1 normally
Orange=heat pump (normally) and goes into O/B above Rc
Black=staged heat (normally) and goes into * (star connector) also black normally goes into the * Star connector
Your system’s wiring may or may not need to use the Nest thermostat’s star connector, so you should always use the compatibility checker to get a custom wiring diagram before connecting any wires to the star connector.
Nest Learning Thermostats and the Nest Thermostat E use the star connector a bit differently and support different wires and system features.

Do you know how to connect the HRV to the google thermostat?
If you look under the video in the description there's more information and visual diagrams to hopefully help you. Thanks
I don't have a yellow wire but I have green, red, white and blue wires. The air still hasn't come on. I skipped the WiFi connection. Please help. Thanks
look in the video description, I break down each of the colors and where they go. Also, did you get a picture of the original thermostat before you installed the Nest? If so you can match them regardless of color one to one
Where would the brown wire go?
Look down in the description and you'll see a photo of the wiring diagram for all wire colors.
Also, look back at the picture you took of the original/old thermostat to see where the brown wire was.
I need help help, my old thermostat a honey well had only red white green and yellow wires connected to it, and a blue wire was just wrapped around unused, when I got nest I connected the red white green and yellow wires , but the nest would keep losing charge, then after watching some videos about it I connected the blue to the C and now it's telling me that it doesn't have power, I need help
Look in the description of the video, I show all the colors and what they normally stand for. Do you have a picture of the old one and how it was wired. Sometimes the colors are installed wrong or in older houses don't match but if you have a picture or another thermostat in the house still wired that is working, you can use it to match it color to connection. Hope this helps
Anybody know how can i yell if I have a humidifier or dehumidifier? The Nest is asking on setup
Will this work if it's not connected to Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi as down?
Yes it does, it functions like a normal thermostat. The Wifi lets you access it from your phone from anywhere and get stats, setup the schedule easier, etc...
I have an orange and blue wire that I can not figure out where to go. Everything else is plugged in and it appears to work. Do you have any advice?
If you look in the description right under the video, I have all the wire colors and even a picture with more explanation. I hope this helps.
o is for reverse valve you must have a heat pump so O or B terminal on the t stat depending on the unit brand blue is common
What if you have an orange wire?
If you look in the description right below the video, I posted more information on wires, colors even pictures. I hope this helps.
What nest is this?
Nest Learning Thermostat amzn.to/3dbynB3
Is it working with batteries?
No, it's powered just like any thermostat is. The red wire is the power
I understand Y1, but what is Y2 for?
Look in the description under the video. You'll find everything you need 😉
Y2 is for 2 stage cooling
could I install this in a RV or camper?
I don't think so. I would some research. Maybe a new high tech camper...
Can anyone help me please I have a Nest thermostat now I have four wires are yellow black and white and the red the way I have set up is every time that I put my heat on my icy conditioner is coming on please can someone help me and send me a diagram in have A wide range diagram and show me where the wires go please help me
Look in the description of the video (below the video) and you'll find all the info you need. Hope this helps
great video thanks
Hello I'm having a install issue my nest E when I turn it on for heat you hear it come on and a few secs later it cuts right back off and trys to cut back on and do the same thing. I only have a White and a red wire.. Power and heat.. I have look further and see I also have a green and black wire that wasn't connected to anything.. I have video I can email you if you need more info
Look at the detailed wire information and pictures in the description under the video. This should help.
I had been using without wifi and now it's stuck on password. Help
Stuck on password?
I don’t have a yellow wire.
Do you have an A/C Air Condition Cooling Unit? If so then as I said in the video and the description under the video be sure to take pictures of your old unit before taking it apart because sometimes they don't use the right colors when building, especially in older houses and you need to know what Y goes to from the old unit you can tell what wire is your 'yellow' wire. Hope this helps
(under the video in the description, I list out all the color wires and what they are and a picture diagram so you can see it)
Ya what if ya have 8 friggin wires
Look in the description you'll see more info and pictures I posted
@@Zachus got it thank you, old wiring.
I have 4 wires....red,white,green and yellow. Double wide trailer can i use?
I'm sorry to give you bad news but no smart home or connected home devices that are wired work without a blue common wire known as the C Wire. You can try it but from all I've read it will not work.
