Compatibility with New Home

[bec1881]

Hi there!

I bought a new Nest Thermostat in Jan of 2022 for a rental...we sadly had to move out of the rental in April. We just closed on a house September 1, and I'm hoping the new place is compatible with the nest we've been holding on to. Can anyone tell me for sure? From what I gleaned from the checker is that I might need a Learning Thermostat? And if so, is there a forum on here to sell used (used-for-three-months!) ones???

Your old thermostat looks like a Heating system only.  
There is a red wire on R,

A blue wire on W (this is heating)

A green wire Not Connected

A White wire not connected

Hi @bec1881 - Yes, your new set up will support the nest thermostat you've shown in your picture.

Thanks! Can you please confirm that I can in fact use the regular Nest with the above wall panel?

Yes indeed you can use your nest thermostat with this current system at your new home.  Since there are a couple wires that are not being used in the thermostat that’s currently there, there is available conductor to be a connect to AC in your HVAC system so you’ll have a COMMON available as well.

Hey everyone,

@bec1881, @CoolingWizard is right, you can indeed setup your Nest Thermostat with your system.

Best,

Yay! Thanks so much everyone! I was confused because it's actually radiant floor heat in this home, vs a furnace. But I'll give it a go, and make sure it works! 🙂

Hey bec1881, 

Awesome — glad to hear that. It looks like we can consider this one complete, so I will lock the thread shortly unless I can help out with anything else.

Hi bec1881,

As we got our resolution here, I'm going to mark this thread as resolved. I'll be locking this thread if we won't hear back from you in 24 hrs. Should that happen, feel free to create a new one if you have more questions or have other concerns in the future.
