Installed a Nest Gen 3 thermostat. Had to get some assistance because my wiring did not work well with the compatibility wizard. Once installed as directed, the outside AC unit is VERY loud during test mode and during operation. Any idea why?

Hey Robert,

Having your A.C. make any noise that does not sound normal is never good, I am sorry you are running into this issue. Let's jump in and see if we can figure out the issue. Do you mind me asking if you could please send in a picture of your current wire set up for me to review? Do you know if the thermostat is getting enough power? I did also find a helpful article with some troubleshooting steps, please let me know if that helps.

Best regards,

Jake
