Nest compatibility

[C0C09114]

 

Hi! Just moved in last month and the old thermostat screen seems to have died on me.. would love to replace for a Nest but not sure if it’s compatible and if I could do it myself. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention .. I have an electric furnace without air conditioning. It’s getting hot in here I might need one soon if I don’t fix my thermostat 😆 Thanks !

I ended up doing some more research and was able to install the Nest easily. My black wire labeled as X seems to be a C common side so that’s where I plugged it on Nest plate. I connected all other wires the same as my old thermostat but didn’t put a jumper between Rh and Rc since it says that Nest has an internal jumper that does the connection between the two, and you can’t connect more than one wire together with Nest.

Thanks for checking, it’s working great the way I connected it. I might add that it’s a relief not hearing the furnace run non stop anymore. Much easier to adjust with a Nest thermostat even with old equipment.

I forgot to take a photo before closing everything but it connected the same like this person. Only difference is that my C wire is black and not blue.
