Hi AmerZ,
Yikes! Let's get this fixed for you.
You can install the power connector yourself or call a pro. For a brief video of the installation process, go to How to install the Nest Power Connector. The Nest Power Connector comes with instructions in the box. Follow those instructions to install the Nest Power Connector. You can find the same instructions in this Installation Guide or follow these direct instructions:
- Turn off the power.
- Before starting any wiring work, make sure to turn off the power to your heating system at the breaker box to ensure safety.
- Locate the C-wire.
- The C-wire is necessary to provide continuous power to the Nest Thermostat. In some cases, the C-wire may already be available at the thermostat wiring terminal block in your Taco control unit. Look for a wire labeled "C" or "common." If the C-wire is not present, you may need to run a new wire from the heating system to the thermostat location.
- Connect the Nest Power Connector.
- Once you have identified the C-wire, you can connect the Nest power connector. The Nest power connector is designed to provide a C-wire connection for Nest thermostats that do not have a built-in C-wire terminal. Connect the C-wire from your Taco control unit to the C terminal on the Nest power connector.
- Connect the other wires.
- The other wires from your Taco control unit, typically labeled R, W, Y, and G, should be connected directly to the corresponding terminals on the Nest Thermostat. Ensure that the wires are securely connected.
- Power up and configure.
- Once all the wiring is complete, restore power to your heating system at the breaker box. The Nest Thermostat should power up and guide you through the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the thermostat settings and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
