Wiring help from Braeburn 1000 to Nest

[Tanuj13]

 Hi

Am confused that we don't have a R wire. I just see a jumper wire. 

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

What kind of heating system do you have?

Is it a Furnace with ductwork? Or is this a boiler with hot water heating radiators or baseboard?

Also do you see any extra wires in the cable in the wall or does it only have 2 wires in the cable?

You need a extra wire color for a C wire if you have the regular Nest (non learning).

Thanks for the quick reply.

It is a boiler with hot water and radiators. No I don't see any other wires in the cable in the wall. I have the regular non learning Nest.

You will need to either run a new tstat cable with 5 conductors that you can buy at home depot or lowes etc in 25 or 50 ft. This is preferred method to get a C wire connection.

Or get a power adapter kit from Google.

Otherwise the Nest will run off battery power and need to be replaced often and possibly wi-fi will disconnect all the time due to low power without a C wire.

Do you have pics of where the wires attach at your boiler? We need to see where a C wire can be attached and it can be tricky on boilers with older controls.
