Any thermostat compatible with 2-wire oil burner?

Furb
Community Member

I have a dinosaur oil burner that only has 2 wires for the current thermostat.  I upgraded from a mercury switch to this basic programmable thermostat and these are the wires/settings that work currently. Would I be able to use a Nest thermostat? If so, which one? And what other wires or jumpers might need to be installed?

Hey Furb,

 

I wanted to reach out and see if you are still in need of any help? I would be more than happy to take a closer look at your system, do you mind me asking what the wires you are seeing are labeled? Please be advised that Nest Thermostats are not compatible with jumper wires, and I would recommend having a Nest Pro come out and install any wires to your system that are needed. Please let me know if you are still in need of any help.

 

Best regards,

Jake
