WE TAKE YOUR PRIVACY SERIOUSLY
We’re committed to being open and honest about how we use data. We’ll always ask for permission before sharing personally identifiable information like your email address, and we work hard to keep your data safe. To learn more about our Privacy Policy,
Compatibility
Based on Nest’s online compatibility checker data, the Nest Thermostat works with most 24V systems, including gas, electric, oil, forced air, variable speed, heat pump and radiant. It can control: · Heating: one, two and three stages (W1, W2, W3) · Cooling: one and two stages (Y1, Y2) · Heat pump: with auxiliary and emergency heat (O/B, AUX, E) · Fan (G, G2, G3) · Power (C, RH, RC) · Humidifier or dehumidifier (HUM, DEHUM)
The Nest Thermostat’s * connector can accept only one of these wires: W3, E, HUM or DEHUM.
The Nest Thermostat is designed to work even if your home doesn’t have a common (C) wire. Rarely, installing a new C wire may be required.
Professional installation recommended for:
- Dual fuel systems (heat pump with furnace)
- Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers

Switch off power
This protects you and avoids blowing a fuse in your equipment. Adjust the temperature on your old thermostat to make sure your system is off. -
Remove cover
Some covers pop off, while others need to be unscrewed -
Check your system
If your old thermostat is labeled 120V or 240V or has thick wires with wire nuts, your system is high voltage. Not sure? Contact Support. -
Remove any jumper wires
Jumper wires are short wires between two connectors. You won’t need them. An R wire can go into either RC or RH. -
Label wires
Peel off the labels below and attach them to the thermostat’s matching wires.
Use the white labels for any W3, E, HUM or DEHUM wires. The * connector can only connect to one of these wires. -
Disconnect wires and remove base
After removing the base, we recommend gently wrapping the wires around a pen or pencil to ensure they don’t fall back into the hole in the wall. -
Mark where screws will go
Use the bubble level to make sure the Nest Thermostat is level.
Use trim plate if needed
You can cover up holes or marks left by your old thermostat with the optional trim plate.
Snap the base and trim plate together, then screw them to the wall.
You’ll find the trim plate in the bottom of the box.
Mounting on an electrical box
Electrical boxes aren’t common, but if you have one, secure the steel plate to the electrical box with two of the short steel plate screws. Insert the screws into the long slots on the steel plate.
Use the other two short screws to attach the Nest base and trim plate to the steel plate.
Pull the wires through the center of the base, then attach it to the wall with the screws.
After all the wires are securely connected, push them down to make sure they’re flush with the base.
The exposed wire should be straight. -
Attach the display
Press the display onto the base until it clicks.
