Pics of thermostat and heater wiring to see if Nest will work

[jshanker1]

 

Hi. I want to replace this thermostat

 here’s the writing in the gas heater

It is compatible with Nest. Do you have a heat pump or is your fuel type all electric?

[jshanker1]

It’s gas

@jshanker1 

Your current thermostat is compatible with any of the Nest thermostats.

Try this wiring,

Green - G to G

Yellow - Y to Y1 or Y

White - W to W1 or W

Red - RH to Rc or R (jumper to RC not needed)

Blue - B to C

The "or" is for the Google Nest Thermostat wiring

@Patrick_Caezzan thank you! I will try that next time I'm there mid-week. I'll report back then.

Hello folks,

I wanted to ensure that everything was covered here.

Thanks for the help, @Patrick_Caezza and @faerie

Hi,

I haven't been back to the property yet but should be able to go there and install the thermostat by the end of the weekend.

Thanks for all the advice, and I will report in once it's installed

Hey there,

I'm checking back in — how's it going? Still need our help?
 

Thanks,

Mark

@Markjosephp I hooked it up as suggested. The app said that it didn’t sense several wires and that there was nothing the OB terminal. I re-inserted the wires then got a “no power” message on the thermostat. I bought new batteries and installed them but ann still getting the same message.  In addition there’san error message E260. Any suggestions?

Hello jshanker1,

I'm sorry to hear the issue still persists. Let's sort this out.

Please check your thermostat's power readings in the Equipment settings. Also, check the system's power. Make sure the power to the system is on. The power switch is usually in the breaker box, but in some homes, it's like a light switch near the HVAC equipment. There may be one or two switches: one for heat and another for cooling. Make sure the power is on for both, then check the thermostat.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Mark
