Compatibility checker

Tried the 24/7 chat and it was "unavailable," so this community seems like it knows what it's talking about! 

Any input on whether I'll be able to install the Nest Thermostat without major wiring upgrades would be appreciated. I don't see the labels others seem to have...just 1,2,3.  

Thanks.

Your current thermostat is not compatible with any of the Nest thermostats as it uses a proprietary interface.

Thanks for the reply.  To clarify - you're saying my wiring will not work with any Nest thermostat?  I'm trying to replace an old Honeywell - would I have to stick with that brand only?  Thanks again.

Correct, it will not work with any Nest Thermostat.

I have no clue if it will work with any other brand of the thermostat.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for responding, Patrick_Caezza. 

LJL212, proprietary systems are not compatible with Google Nest thermostats. However, some proprietary systems can be rewired by a pro installer to be compatible. Feel free to reach out to them so you can get some suggestions. 

Best,
