I have forced hot air natural gas furnace, and separate outside A/c unit....I installed a new Nest thermostat (it has 6 terminals), plugged the 5 wires into their corresponding sockets [G-G, R-R, W-W, Y-Y, and Blue wire to C terminal, the OB terminal is not used]....... Nest controls the A/c perfectly.......however when I set the mode to heat, the air blows immediately out of the registers, there is no delay while the furnace pre-heats.......Can someone look at my picture, and tell me if this setup [forced hot air natural gas furnace, and separate outside A/c unit] can be controlled with this model Nest? I thought it a little odd the C power terminal is sharing a blue and red wire, and the Y terminal is sharing a yellow and white wire? I'm guessing one is the furnace and the other the A/C?

Hello stevefisher99,
I'm sorry for the late reply and thanks for sharing the picture of your system control board. Let's see what's going on.
Based on the wiring configuration and how you labeled these wires to your Nest thermostat, it is correct. Make sure that fan schedules and auto-learning schedules are off or disabled, so your Nest thermostat won't activate your fan when calling for heat or cooling. Here's your guide to your Nest thermostat settings.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
Mark
