How to install Nest E

6 years ago

Help please,
I was planning on installing a nest thermostat. Watched a bunch of YouTube videos. Read different articles online. Checked the nest website and thought I had enough info to tackle this DIY on my own. Then I opened the HVAC system and the old thermostat. Now I'm super confused because the wires don't match. How can that be?

What do you mean by "the wires don't match". What type of heating and cooling system do you have? The Nest will work well with some systems, and poorly with others. If you don't have a C (ground) wire then you may have a problem getting the Nest to work reliably.
