Thermostat compatibility

This is my current wiring for thermostat. Was wondering how to wire to my new nest thermostat? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just follow the Nest installation instructions included with the thermostat and it will guide you through the steps.

DanJohn,

If your thermostat is losing power, then in all likelihood, the B wire on your old thermostat is not attached to the common side of the transformer in your air handler. Your old thermostat did not have a terminal connection on the C. Therefore some of those use the B terminal as the common landing point. It does not necessarily mean that the other end was connected to common though. One way you can check this is to get a volt, ohm multimeter and check the power of the AC incoming between R and C of your nest back plate. You should see about 24 Volts of AC power.
