Hi @Crews4,

 

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand your question about programming your Nest thermostat as a conventional system when you have a heat pump. I'm happy to assist you.

To learn more about your thermostat and system, please provide the following information:

  • What type of Nest thermostat do you have?
  • What is the make and model of your HVAC system?
  • Please send a photo of the wiring connected to your Nest thermostat's base.

Most multistage systems can be recognized by the wires attached to the thermostat. Single stage systems (conventional) will only have one wire for heating (in the W or W1 connector) and one wire for cooling (in the Y or Y1 connector). Single stage heat pumps only have Y1 for both heating and cooling.

You can learn more in the article Learn about multistage and cooling system.

Please keep me posted.

 

Regards,

Anders
