The wiring matching from honewell peaksaver PLUS to Nest Learning

Hi,

I am using the honewell peaksaver PLUS thermostat and would like to replace with Nest Learning Thermostat.

The old one get wire for K, R,W and C.

I cannot find K wire for Nedt Learning.

And should R to Rc, W to W1?

How should it map with Nest Learning Thermostat? Thanks

There is a Honeywell box at your furnace that is similar to a Nest power adapter that simulates a C wire when you do not have enough wires to connect a real C wire.

So you would remove that little Honeywell box at the furnace and either run a new 8 conductor thermostat wire to the Nest and use blue for a C wire, or leave the old wire and the Nest Learning might be ok without a C wire if it does not give any power errors it should be fine. If not then you would need to use a Nest power adapter to simulate a C wire.

So if you want to try using the old wires first get rid of that Honeywell box and put the old wires directly to the furnace terminals R, W, Y, G (use black for Y) then do the same at the Nest and see it it works without a C wire.
