I'm having hard time to determine if my system is compatible with any nest thermostate. 

"Trane electric heater - 208 OR" inside my condo

Cooling unit at the roof

Existing thermostat is "White Rodgers"

6 wires comes into the thermostate and connected as following:

White - not connected!

Blue - to C

Green - to G

Orange - to O

Yellow- to Y (jumper to W)

Red - to Rh (jumper to Rc)

  • Appreciate any expert opinion if my system is compatible and how my wires should be connected to new nest thermostate. I have attached 3 photos.

Hi maliaari, 

 

Thanks for posting here in the Community forum and for showing interest in our Nest Thermostats. Fortunately, your thermostat wires are compatible with any of our Nest Thermostat and should be wired to the Nest Thermostat base as follows:

 

  • Blue wire to C
  • Green wire to G
  • Orange wire to OB
  • Yellow wire to Y or Y1
  • Red wire to R or RC/RH

 

Take note that jumper wires are not needed for Nest Thermostats. Also, here's a guide for the installation and setup of a Nest Thermostat

 

Let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Best,

Zoe
