Wiring help

Pstim002 — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 23:55:54 GMT

I am trying to change my apartment thermostat to a Nest thermostat, but the wires don’t match the nest. Can someone tell me how to wire the nest to function correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If this is a picture of your old thermostat, i think it's straight forward unless I'm missing something. The C (blue) wire goes to the C terminal of your Nest, Y to Y terminal, G to G terminal, W to W terminal.

Hey folks,

I appreciate your response, rylescu.

Just to add, the red wire going to the R terminal should be placed on RH or R on your Nest thermostat. Take off the jumper wire to RC as it won't be needed.

Best,

Thank you for your helpful response. I did not realize the picture was uploaded with such poor quality. The jumper between R and RC confused me because the RC and RH are on opposite sides of the nest. I will connect it to RH, as you said. Thank you!
