My thermostat started acting strange lately, I have 3 sensors but only one is giving me the right temperature but the others 2 look like slow or frozen. This started happening after Google nest started sending notifications to upgrade to some kind of stuff but I don’t want to be part of that. Are they messing up my nest thermostat?
Thank you so, so much for all the information. I got the "no power to the Y connector" or something like that. Thought the unit was broken, some wire cut somewhere. I checked the connection, and it looked fine. I was about to call for repair tomorrow, and you said "check the fuse" and I figured "why not". Went to the A/C and guess what??? It was the fuse. Went through the tool box and found a fuse. Powered off the A/C put in the fuse and I was good to go. Something as simple as a fuse and if I didn't watch your video I would have been freezing (it's 43 degrees in Orlando) tonight and probably paid a bunch of money to the repairman. My wife gave me a big hug and I got brownie points. 😁
Thanks so much! I just moved a Nest thermostat from my Ohio home to Florida and it was blowing hot air. One minute into the video gave me the clue I needed to wire for a heat pump!
My issue wasn't covered in your video BUT you made me check all my wires and I realized one was not seeded properly causing an issue. Thanks for the video!!! So glad to get it working
This really is so very helpful #3 is what is happening for me and it is my first time installing a thermostat. I had a nest in my old house and really missed it and watching youtube videos gave me the confidence to attempt to install it myself. That worked beautifully until the battery was low and the click wasn't working. I am sure I can correct these issues. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. Nest stopped cooling after heat being turned on for a few days. Prior to cold days, cool was working perfectly. Any suggestions how to resolve this? It keeps blowing warm air. We tried everything: from breakers to resetting the the nest. That did not solve the problem.
My nest was going into the reboot mode every time I clicked the select, I was about to toss it and buy a new one. Thanks to you ( last part of the video) all I had to do was to push the wires in / flushed with the inside of the T stat to make it click all the way and now it works perfect. Thanks for this great video to help out people.
hey, this video helped me trouble shoot my power issue. Basically, there was no power running to the wall mount not because of a fuse but because my furnace has a moisture trip sensor sitting at the base of the furnace. I hit the reset button on the sensor and it gave power back to the furnace and the wall mount. Thank you so much,,,saved me hundreds of dollars !!!
I HATE this nest system with a passion. It was already installed when we moved into our home and it's been nothing but trouble. I had this same issue, amongst others. Right now I'm trying to figure out why the house gets freezing cold when the temp isn't supposed to drop past 72 degrees!!!
@@tamikasimmons8307 disconnect it from the wifi and program it the way you want. Mine has a problem with saying its 70 in the house when its actually 75. Also if you have the thermostat set low and its not dropping enough then you may have an ac issue. Not the thermostat
Probably a frozen coil, which you need to open AC vent and let it melt down into drain pan. You gotta turn off the compressor outside and change thermostat to fan only. That was my issue. Had to wait about 2-hours though until it melted down. Then I had to clean it. 🤷🏽♂️
What if it worked great for 18 months, but only wants to blow increasingly hot air when set to cool this spring? Heat works fine and stays at temp, but cool set at any temp will blow hotter and hotter. Old thermostat works fine. Though the next did seem to work better with less on/off modulation. We do have a connected c wire. These are set the same as the pic I took of the old setup 18 months ago. Y1 - Yellow wire G - Green wire OB - Orange RC - Red W1 - White C - Blank A dark blue and brown were disconnected, unused and tucked in the wall when I swapped thermo's 18 months ago. Still not using them. Thanks for any tips or suggestions. Google/Nest support has been...we'll call it "unhelpful".
I’m not sure of this is your Nest causing the problem. This happened to us and it was our coolant running out. The air was increasingly getting warmer and warmer until we eventually called someone. Did you ever figure it out?
Just installed a Nest Learning Thermostat and it's not cutting on the heat. Looked at your video and issue #2 was my problem. Change the Blue wire from W to OB and now it's working great. Great Job! Thanks
Thanks for the great video. I've got a NEST T-stat and a Bryant Furnace, with a standard COOL/HEAT board terminals, and a few other speeds on the SPARE/PARK terminals. The issue I'm having is that the FAN only runs when the Tstat "Nest" is in Cooling or Heating. I cannot get it to run when I select "FAN ONLY" I want to be able to recirculate airflow without having the system on cool or heat. The circuit board doesn't seem to have a "FAN" terminal... Maybe the option is in a DipSwitch on the board? or perhaps the Tstat isn't wired up correctly? Do you have any idea or suggestions? Thanks
Got a Nest as a gift last month. It does not seem to like my 1989 furnace. I have it set at 69 from 10pm to 3 am and then move to 73 at 3am so that when we get up for work, early, there is heat in the house. There are days that the Nest Learning does not follow the schedule and the house is cold even up to 7 am. So then I move the app to a degree higher and still the furnace does not come on. I am very frustrated. And it says 2 to 3 hours before it will kick on which is now by 10 am. This is not what I want. The old thermostat started the furnace immediately if moved up.
Good job for not being an hvac technician, a few things you can add is you can shut off the power at your furnace/air handler power switch instead which may be more convenient and it's a 5 amp fuse not volt
Thank you for this!!! Had my power turned off but still ended up blowing the fuse in my furnace. Without this video I would have been lost! Got a replacement fuse (ironically in the auto section) and everything worked immediately.
Question? On my old unit, I have 2 wires connected to labeled area of Aux/E one wire is white and other is a stripped copper wire. Do I place both of them in the Nest thermostat marked W Aux?
I bought three Nest E's yesterday on clearance. They are obviously old stock and had to be charged prior to installing/setting up. That said, two work perfect, one when putting it on the base said "remove from base and reattach" I left it over night and now it's dead, no light, no nothig. I currently have it on charge assuming its dead again? Have you encountered this with the "e"?
Great Video 👍. I just noticed an odd problem that my thermostat E doesn't turn on to cool in the AM. It kicks in again in the morning, but leaves the house hot at night. Echo Mode, Hone/Away Assist disabled and Scheduling Off. I can see in the history that it does the same thing every day, with a giant gap of no action from like 12AM/1AM to 9AM/10AM. I don't know what it could be 🤔
My issue is: the thermostat works for a few weeks, then suddenly stopped working. Replaced the air filter didn't event help. Put back the old Honeywell unit and started working again. Google search returned ton of the same issue. Called Google support and said to call an HVAC. Go figure.
What if the fancy hockey puck simply decides it doesn't want to run some nights? Sometimes it'll keep heat great, and sometimes it reports to me that while it's set to 70, the temperature is 63. My Honeywell unit never had this problem.
My nest thermostat worked fine for a year then suddenly started e298 error. I have 4 wires no common. I gave up, after many complaints from spouse, and put the programmable back up.
I think the wires sticking out was my issue, even though it didn't looks like it. I kept on having the device reboot when I would try to press or spin dial. I took off and push in wires in to make it flush, which are very strong because its pure copper, not strains. Then put unit back on and it appears to work better for button presses and appears not to be "rebooting" itself when I try to touch the settings and dial. Thanks for the tips.
We installed a nest thermostat and are having an issue not mentioned here. We have a "zoned" system and the upstairs vents are not blowing air at all. Is this an install problem or something completely unrelated? No one can even tell us how we are supposed to control the zones. Do I just turn on the 2nd thermostat?
100% had the hot air blowing out and thought for sure I had conventional since I had a white wire going to the W/OB connector. Sure enough though, after watching this, swapped it and viola! it works great! Thank you so much!
I had a new furnace and ac unit installed in december, its july and the ac just went off. wtf... Its under warranty but this is second problem since installed (american rescue rooter) r wire not connected. The breakers are on and I am not playing with wires.I paid them 8000.00 to install this stuff oh and their nest smoke/carbon detector with batteries that last 10 years dead in two months... Do you know how much those 6 batteries cost??? I am so pissed and it's fricking hot at 2.30 in the morning-no sleep for me
Bruhhh, literally the same shit is happening to me! I wake up sweating bullets when the temp is set to 66 but then the thermostat will unauthorize inputs to go up to 75 or 80 when 67 is set on screen. I’ll lower the temp then the temp goes higher😂. This shit is trash and an irritant that makes something so simple into something too complicated. So many inputs and controls that are really there for nothing, manipulating all these different outcomes of temperature.
I just installed my 1st Google nest thermostat but I can't get get to recognize the humidifier in the * It say no wire connected. Then come to find out there is no adjustment setting in the nest thermostat for the humidifier ontop of that. I just got I have no need for the learning one that and I don't like the price of it 😕
Have you ever seen a Nest thermostat causing a short double start to the AC compressor? Our AC compressor has started a sporadic, random short double start, then runs fine. Our AC Tech has done troubleshooting and changed the capacitor, etc and has no idea why this is occurring .
I saw the jumper on the old thermostat and wondered if I should run the red wire to both rc and rh. Apparently I need to run to just rh as I have it on rc. To get it to heat it is set as B wire type and not an O wire. Also it had a run away heat issue today. Initially It didn't power up.
I have 2 units. 1 in the basement 1 in the attic. For the basement unit, i swapped to a NEST Learning no problem. For the attic it would power on my furnace but it was a start/stop scenario. I called a professional and he couldn't do any better. I switched to an Ecobee4 and it worked no problem. I just prefer and would love to have two NEST thermostats. So before i pull my ecobee off and try again with a NEST, why would I need to change my wiring to the heat pump side when i have a gas furnace? or did i misunderstand?
I’ve got the wiring correct. Changed the fuse and made sure the drains were clear. Still can’t get past a RH wire error. I’m lost confused and beat down …..
I had the e74 error code. I noticed that i had to reset the breaker and it started working. I may have a bad/intermittent breaker, so I want to get that checked out first. It'll run fine then all of a sudden, i get the e74.
Thank you for the video. I’ve just installed my nest from exactly the same Honeywell thermostat and I’ve got hot air blowing regardless the Nest Thermostat selection. After I watch your video I are wired like you mentioned and it worked fine. Thanks.
Thank you for your help, I had an issue with my R wire saying I wasn’t getting power to the Nest, so I opened up the A/C unit, and had a blown fuse. After I put the new fuse in that I bought from Lowe’s, the display came on like never before.
I have a Nest Thermostat E connected to a two wire heat only system. (gas fired steam heat). It has worked flawlessly for several months. Today the thermostat's screen went black, no message. Internet, modem, router, wire connections and all circuit breakers checked out fine. After about 30 minutes the system returned to normal on it own with out any intervention. This the second time it was noticed to happen. Any thoughts as to the cause?
Intsalled Nest with no heat pump. Summer days are hot and I've set temp to 73. Thermostat will hold steady but then mid day the inside temperature begins going up and the inside heats to 75. If i turn the AC on the nest to 74 degrees the inside goes up to 77. If I raise the Nest to 76 degrees the temp in the home goes to 78-79 degress. Motor is fine. Vents and filter are clean. A tech came out and checked freon and found no issues. Any ideas?
Wow thank you so much! I looked at fifteen different google support pages and did all kinds of “fixes” with no luck. 30 seconds into your video and I found my error. Thank you!
After 6 years my Nest thermostat has become a bit insensitive to real temperature; it reacts late to shutdown the AC. How do I make it work properly? If there is any fine dust inside, how can it be removed?
I have the same problem. I replaced the Nest thermostat thinking it was defective but I still have the same issue. Tried Ecobee thermostat and same problem.
My heater turns off and on it never really warms my house up very good...I called the shaw AC/Heater company out they said thermostat was problem..so had it replaced...and it still does it! Idk what is going on!
So i have the same exact wiring you have and i have the smaller google nest with the mirror lens...but when trying to set it up it tells me its not compatible
I tried to turn my heat on and I got an e/74 error.. took it off wall and lugged it in and and it tells me to put it back the base, then it goes blank so now I have no ac or heat. any ideas. at one point it says its not getting power. ive flipped all my breakers, i sucked out the jellyfish with vet vac from overlfow . tomorrow I will take off front plate to see if maybe a blown fuse?? help!
Man, why didn't you use the included wall plate to clean up that install! A-D-D really kicked in for me and I would have had the plate on there first thing! Otherwise, 2 nests installed for me now and both had C-Wire issues that I had to resolve, first one I bought a separate 24Volt 2 Wire kit from Venstar cause I had a 2 wire furnace (heat only). 2nd furnace today had again no C-wire to power the Nest BUT luckily the C-wire just needed to be attached inside the furnace and then added to the connection on the thermostat!
I tried the first two suggestions before I saw this video. I thought I had finally found my answer in tip #3 but it turns out the unit in the attic has a safety switch on the door so if its slightly ajar the entire unit shuts off. Great video and super helpful anyway!
If you get the error "e294 Red wire not connected", and the "skip the blue" wire trick did nothing. I did this: I had W, G, C, Y, and R wires. During the install process, the app will ask you what wires you have. On my 8th attempt to solve this error code, I unchecked the box next to R and checked the box for Rh. You made need to factory reset the thermostat and start the install over from the beginning if you get the e294 error code just so you can get the wire select screen in the app. The Google Home online help is worthless.
Thank you so much for this. I thought I had a conventional system. Turns out I have a heat pump system. Did as explained and reset my nest to read for heat pump on the equipment settings and boom cool air!
Mine started to show Error E103. (Cooling does NOT work) Did some online reading and it says power spikes on Y1 wire. How do I fix this? I rebooted the nest and reclamped the Yellow wire to Y1, but no luck. Heat works fine. I have been using this Nest device for 2+ years and this just started to happen. I appreciate any help or advice.
That's helpful thank you,,, mine has something to do with the G wire nothing works ... Then it worked just the fan and when I reach to nest customer service they told me that the system is detecting higher voltage and the nest Tstst max can handle 24V .... Any idea how yo fix it ? They suggested to get an HVAC guy which will cost more than the nest itself so I rather sell the nest if it's not gonna work and find another smart tstat can handle more power than pay that much to HVAC guy.... Any idea anyone m
Thanks a bunch for this video. I've been pulling my hair out for not knowing why it does not work. Now I'm bald but at least I have a working smart thermostat! :)
I had a no power code at first. I had shorted the power and common wires on the metal nest mounting bracket. It reset after it cooled down. I couldn't be sure which breaker it was, four were not marked and there were lots of computers I didn't want to accidentally reset. So I changed it live. I had the red wire incorrectly on Pc. Worked great after fixing that.
My problem is the system works fine for a few months then it stops and says wiring has changed. I haven't changed anything. The first time that fuse in the air handler was blown. The second time the tech just redid the wiring and it worked great. If it happens again I am considering going with a different thermostat. Is there another one that is good?
Thank you for this, and for being the only one not to blame it on a clogged condensate line. The moment you mentioned a fuse in the air handler unit.... I knew that was my problem. Sure enough. 5am run to Wally world.
It could be your wifi, not the thermostat. I'm not sure if this will help anyone else and it may be obvious to some, but my issue didn't seem to be the thermostat. The problem was my AT&T provided Wifi. I have 1GB wifi and was using the AT&T provided gateway. I have no choice but to use the gateway, but when I turned the wifi off and used my 3 yr old Orbi Wifi 5 router in AP mode, I have not lost connection not once in over 3 weeks now.
Can u hep me pls .... I have 3 wire I don’t know where to put them in my nest 3 generation so wire (s)and (-) and (+) from my old Emerson 1f95 and the nest doesn’t have that so I don’t know what to do
I had the issue with the second problem. Only issue was, the wire itself was fine and the fuse was fine. Turned out the thermostat was bad. Installed my old one and system works fine.
Some good advice! Unfortunately I m having trouble getting the Nest to configure for a heat pump! Whoever installed this system didn’t do that! They wired it for a heat pump with strip heat… but thermostat set for gas furnace or electric heat strip & ac! Smh! Tried to configure several times! Appears you have to remotely access thru cellphone & internet connection!? Nest should have a field adjustment without using Wi-Fi to confirm that! What a pain! Now I have to go back while the owner has their cellphone & their internet codes information etc! Senseless! Thanks anyway 😤👋🏼
My man out here doing the Lord's work 💯💯 was about to call an electrician. Was that stupid above or below config. That should be clearly explained in the info, thanks!!
I wanted to add *with no C wire,* it does not charge when the heat or A/C is on, therefore you will lose app connectivity during the heat of summer and extreme cold of winter. (when it is running all the time)
Hi can anyone help please I've got nestThermostat e battery powered so heat link C and NO my 2 wires won't stay in do the mini screws at C and No come out or does the 2 wires need to go through mini screws on hear link where wires go in at bottom part not like the 1 b4 has lots of wire inputs when mine only has C then No n something else under NO then ithee side has oti 1 n oti 2 and that's it
I have an e23 error code and cannot find out what the problem is. The thermostat wires were chewed by my dog and since then my ac, heater, and thermostat have not worked. The fuse was not blown, the transformer is still working correctly, I’m can’t figure out what thermostat wires need to be wired to the wires that are coming from the contactor. Anyone have an idea?
@@paigieee1343 I had to get a technician to come and work on it. Good thing I had home warranty because the job was about a $4,000 job. It took quite a few hours to fix it. They had to do some rewiring.
I had an E74 incident. It turned out to be a tiny button-type circuit breaker on the transformer inside my rooftop packaged unit. There was a recent power outage in my area and I assume a spike in power tripped it.
Thanks a million for this great and useful video! After struggling over an hour trying to figure out why my Google Nest Thermostat wouldn't power on even though I had strictly followed all the Nest App instructions for the wire connections, it turns out that it was a case of the red wire needing to be connected to the RC port instead of the RH port like in my old White & Rodgers thermostat. So if like in my case it looks like you have done everything right and the damn thing won't power on once you turn the power back on, turn the power off again, reconnect the red power wire to the RC port instead of the RH port, turn the power back on and that should do the trick!
My nest worked fine for a year. Here in Texas we had a very cold wave. The heat only intermittently worked. Fan wouldn’t come on most times unless we reset the breakers. Now it’s starting to get warm and the AC wouldn’t come on at all. The outside unit would run, but the blower wouldn’t. I went to my local hardware store and bought the cheapest thermostat they had. Installed it. BOOM Fixed. Never doing nest again. I’ll keep this basic bitch thermostat until the day I die to avoid my kids going to bed cold.
Thank you for this! I had the thermostat connected incorrectly because I did not have it hooked up according to the terminal strip for the heat pump. You saved me a lot of time double-checking the wire colors by going to my pump and AC unit in my attic! Thanks again

I had a new furnace and ac unit installed in december, its july and the ac just went off. wtf... Its under warranty but this is second problem since installed (american rescue rooter) r wire not connected. The breakers are on and I am not playing with wires.I paid them 8000.00 to install this stuff oh and their nest smoke/carbon detector with batteries that last 10 years dead in two months... Do you know how much those 6 batteries cost??? I am so pissed and it's fricking hot at 2.30 in the morning-no sleep for me
Bruhhh, literally the same shit is happening to me! I wake up sweating bullets when the temp is set to 66 but then the thermostat will unauthorize inputs to go up to 75 or 80 when 67 is set on screen. I’ll lower the temp then the temp goes higher😂. This shit is trash and an irritant that makes something so simple into something too complicated. So many inputs and controls that are really there for nothing, manipulating all these different outcomes of temperature.
@@marshallpinckney74 I just want my old manual thermostat back. It is trash, and those temps same here go to bed at 74 wake up at 65....wtf come on
I just installed my 1st Google nest thermostat but I can't get get to recognize the humidifier in the * It say no wire connected. Then come to find out there is no adjustment setting in the nest thermostat for the humidifier ontop of that. I just got I have no need for the learning one that and I don't like the price of it 😕
Have you ever seen a Nest thermostat causing a short double start to the AC compressor? Our AC compressor has started a sporadic, random short double start, then runs fine. Our AC Tech has done troubleshooting and changed the capacitor, etc and has no idea why this is occurring .
Totally had the hot air issue - you're video saved me from throwing my Google nest into the ocean. Thank you! :)
I saw the jumper on the old thermostat and wondered if I should run the red wire to both rc and rh. Apparently I need to run to just rh as I have it on rc. To get it to heat it is set as B wire type and not an O wire. Also it had a run away heat issue today. Initially It didn't power up.
I have 2 units. 1 in the basement 1 in the attic. For the basement unit, i swapped to a NEST Learning no problem. For the attic it would power on my furnace but it was a start/stop scenario. I called a professional and he couldn't do any better. I switched to an Ecobee4 and it worked no problem. I just prefer and would love to have two NEST thermostats. So before i pull my ecobee off and try again with a NEST, why would I need to change my wiring to the heat pump side when i have a gas furnace? or did i misunderstand?
I’ve got the wiring correct. Changed the fuse and made sure the drains were clear. Still can’t get past a RH wire error. I’m lost confused and beat down …..
my nest does not give cold air and I didn't take picture of the old thermostat before putting nest. can you help me pls
I had the e74 error code. I noticed that i had to reset the breaker and it started working. I may have a bad/intermittent breaker, so I want to get that checked out first. It'll run fine then all of a sudden, i get the e74.
Thank you for the video. I’ve just installed my nest from exactly the same Honeywell thermostat and I’ve got hot air blowing regardless the Nest Thermostat selection. After I watch your video I are wired like you mentioned and it worked fine. Thanks.
Thank you for your help, I had an issue with my R wire saying I wasn’t getting power to the Nest, so I opened up the A/C unit, and had a blown fuse. After I put the new fuse in that I bought from Lowe’s, the display came on like never before.
My compressor keeps turning on for 2 minutes then shuts off even when we ac isn't running any ideas what's causing this. I have a nest 3rd gen.
I have a Nest Thermostat E connected to a two wire heat only system. (gas fired steam heat). It has worked flawlessly for several months. Today the thermostat's screen went black, no message. Internet, modem, router, wire connections and all circuit breakers checked out fine. After about 30 minutes the system returned to normal on it own with out any intervention. This the second time it was noticed to happen. Any thoughts as to the cause?
Intsalled Nest with no heat pump. Summer days are hot and I've set temp to 73. Thermostat will hold steady but then mid day the inside temperature begins going up and the inside heats to 75. If i turn the AC on the nest to 74 degrees the inside goes up to 77. If I raise the Nest to 76 degrees the temp in the home goes to 78-79 degress. Motor is fine. Vents and filter are clean. A tech came out and checked freon and found no issues. Any ideas?
Wow thank you so much! I looked at fifteen different google support pages and did all kinds of “fixes” with no luck. 30 seconds into your video and I found my error. Thank you!
My nest Thermostat well just jump to 50 F degrees all by its self.How do I stop this from happening?
After 6 years my Nest thermostat has become a bit insensitive to real temperature; it reacts late to shutdown the AC. How do I make it work properly? If there is any fine dust inside, how can it be removed?
Do you have a SOLUTION for the fan blowing constantly on the 3rd gen Nest
I have the same problem. I replaced the Nest thermostat thinking it was defective but I still have the same issue. Tried Ecobee thermostat and same problem.
@@MsFernando148 i had similar issue... I checked the furnace and it was tripped (fuze). not the breaker circuit, but on the furnace itself.
Set the fan on auto
I have a 2 wire system however it keeps asking me for a heat pump wire. All I have is the RH and W1 wire. Please help.
Thank you so much I labeled according to conventional not the heat pump. Thank you again you are the best
Thank you, nest button wouldn't press in, had to push the wires more into the wall! thank you
My heater turns off and on it never really warms my house up very good...I called the shaw AC/Heater company out they said thermostat was problem..so had it replaced...and it still does it! Idk what is going on!
So i have the same exact wiring you have and i have the smaller google nest with the mirror lens...but when trying to set it up it tells me its not compatible
I tried to turn my heat on and I got an e/74 error.. took it off wall and lugged it in and and it tells me to put it back the base, then it goes blank so now I have no ac or heat. any ideas. at one point it says its not getting power. ive flipped all my breakers, i sucked out the jellyfish with vet vac from overlfow . tomorrow I will take off front plate to see if maybe a blown fuse?? help!
Man, why didn't you use the included wall plate to clean up that install! A-D-D really kicked in for me and I would have had the plate on there first thing! Otherwise, 2 nests installed for me now and both had C-Wire issues that I had to resolve, first one I bought a separate 24Volt 2 Wire kit from Venstar cause I had a 2 wire furnace (heat only). 2nd furnace today had again no C-wire to power the Nest BUT luckily the C-wire just needed to be attached inside the furnace and then added to the connection on the thermostat!
I tried the first two suggestions before I saw this video. I thought I had finally found my answer in tip #3 but it turns out the unit in the attic has a safety switch on the door so if its slightly ajar the entire unit shuts off. Great video and super helpful anyway!
If you get the error "e294 Red wire not connected", and the "skip the blue" wire trick did nothing. I did this: I had W, G, C, Y, and R wires. During the install process, the app will ask you what wires you have. On my 8th attempt to solve this error code, I unchecked the box next to R and checked the box for Rh. You made need to factory reset the thermostat and start the install over from the beginning if you get the e294 error code just so you can get the wire select screen in the app. The Google Home online help is worthless.
Thanks for this one - more helpful than Google's own guides!
Thank you so much for this. I thought I had a conventional system. Turns out I have a heat pump system. Did as explained and reset my nest to read for heat pump on the equipment settings and boom cool air!
Thank you so much for the button not clicking info. Exactly what I was trying to problem solve and it was so frustrating
You had to watch a video to know to push back the wires??
@@cam222m you don’t need to be an electrician to know when something doesn’t fit... but okay?
Im having Wifi NOT CONNECTED, i already went through the NEST troubleshooting and it didn’t fix it, has anyone had this issue?
Mine started to show Error E103. (Cooling does NOT work) Did some online reading and it says power spikes on Y1 wire. How do I fix this? I rebooted the nest and reclamped the Yellow wire to Y1, but no luck. Heat works fine. I have been using this Nest device for 2+ years and this just started to happen. I appreciate any help or advice.
Do you fixed already do you change the fuses ? Thank you
My nest is reading 0 inside humidity. Can you please help me out
You saved me hundreds!! It was the blown fuse!! Thank you!!
Same
Fuse literally saved me hours. Thank you
That's helpful thank you,,, mine has something to do with the G wire nothing works ... Then it worked just the fan and when I reach to nest customer service they told me that the system is detecting higher voltage and the nest Tstst max can handle 24V .... Any idea how yo fix it ? They suggested to get an HVAC guy which will cost more than the nest itself so I rather sell the nest if it's not gonna work and find another smart tstat can handle more power than pay that much to HVAC guy.... Any idea anyone m
Wow you're content is growing you're soo close to 100k subs keep up the good work and you're true fans will support kudos to you!!!👍👌👌
Thanks a bunch for this video. I've been pulling my hair out for not knowing why it does not work. Now I'm bald but at least I have a working smart thermostat! :)
5 volt fuse? How did you conclude that?
I had a no power code at first. I had shorted the power and common wires on the metal nest mounting bracket. It reset after it cooled down. I couldn't be sure which breaker it was, four were not marked and there were lots of computers I didn't want to accidentally reset. So I changed it live. I had the red wire incorrectly on Pc.
Worked great after fixing that.
The issue I'm having is the air blows cold when using the nest but runs fine using the digital thermostat
My problem is the system works fine for a few months then it stops and says wiring has changed. I haven't changed anything. The first time that fuse in the air handler was blown. The second time the tech just redid the wiring and it worked great. If it happens again I am considering going with a different thermostat. Is there another one that is good?
I would look for a loose wire first.
Thank you for this, and for being the only one not to blame it on a clogged condensate line. The moment you mentioned a fuse in the air handler unit.... I knew that was my problem. Sure enough. 5am run to Wally world.
Also, make sure wires are clean
This video helped out so much, specifically the conventional vs heat pump distinction.
It could be your wifi, not the thermostat. I'm not sure if this will help anyone else and it may be obvious to some, but my issue didn't seem to be the thermostat. The problem was my AT&T provided Wifi. I have 1GB wifi and was using the AT&T provided gateway. I have no choice but to use the gateway, but when I turned the wifi off and used my 3 yr old Orbi Wifi 5 router in AP mode, I have not lost connection not once in over 3 weeks now.
Can u hep me pls .... I have 3 wire I don’t know where to put them in my nest 3 generation so wire (s)and (-) and (+) from my old Emerson 1f95 and the nest doesn’t have that so I don’t know what to do
Smart is not always so smart. I prefer just a normal wall thermostat not all of this battery issues etc.
I had the issue with the second problem. Only issue was, the wire itself was fine and the fuse was fine. Turned out the thermostat was bad. Installed my old one and system works fine.
Some good advice! Unfortunately I m having trouble getting the Nest to configure for a heat pump! Whoever installed this system didn’t do that! They wired it for a heat pump with strip heat… but thermostat set for gas furnace or electric heat strip & ac!
Smh! Tried to configure several times! Appears you have to remotely access thru cellphone & internet connection!?
Nest should have a field adjustment without using Wi-Fi to confirm that!
What a pain! Now I have to go back while the owner has their cellphone & their internet codes information etc! Senseless! Thanks anyway 😤👋🏼
Im pretty sure mine is the wire snipping issue at the end. Thanks!
Very helpful. I didn't know there was a fuse in the furnace. Bam! Problem solved! Much appreciated!
My man out here doing the Lord's work 💯💯 was about to call an electrician. Was that stupid above or below config. That should be clearly explained in the info, thanks!!
I wanted to add *with no C wire,* it does not charge when the heat or A/C is on, therefore you will lose app connectivity during the heat of summer and extreme cold of winter. (when it is running all the time)
Hi can anyone help please I've got nestThermostat e battery powered so heat link C and NO my 2 wires won't stay in do the mini screws at C and No come out or does the 2 wires need to go through mini screws on hear link where wires go in at bottom part not like the 1 b4 has lots of wire inputs when mine only has C then No n something else under NO then ithee side has oti 1 n oti 2 and that's it
None of my wires read that they are getting power. They are all wired correctly. I dont have a heat pump system either
Thank you for letting me know how to identify offensive breakers lmao
But how do you get the heat to come on right when you need it?!!
Marie Farrell is it electric heat or gas hot water, or hot air?
my nest doesn't turn on the ac until it wakes up via motion sensor, anyone know how to get it to turn on without having to be next it?
The fan logo on the nest is spinning in the wrong direction. With the way the blades are shaped, it should be spinning counter-clockwise
Thanks for fixing my Google nest thermostat to to do setup
I have an e23 error code and cannot find out what the problem is. The thermostat wires were chewed by my dog and since then my ac, heater, and thermostat have not worked. The fuse was not blown, the transformer is still working correctly, I’m can’t figure out what thermostat wires need to be wired to the wires that are coming from the contactor. Anyone have an idea?
Did you figure it out? I have no clue what do do I have the same error code
@@paigieee1343 I had to get a technician to come and work on it. Good thing I had home warranty because the job was about a $4,000 job. It took quite a few hours to fix it. They had to do some rewiring.
I had an E74 incident. It turned out to be a tiny button-type circuit
breaker on the transformer inside my rooftop packaged unit. There was a
recent power outage in my area and I assume a spike in power tripped it.
If inverter or 2wire thermostat ac how can fix
Thanks a million for this great and useful video! After struggling over an hour trying to figure out why my Google Nest Thermostat wouldn't power on even though I had strictly followed all the Nest App instructions for the wire connections, it turns out that it was a case of the red wire needing to be connected to the RC port instead of the RH port like in my old White & Rodgers thermostat. So if like in my case it looks like you have done everything right and the damn thing won't power on once you turn the power back on, turn the power off again, reconnect the red power wire to the RC port instead of the RH port, turn the power back on and that should do the trick!
Good to know! Better when it works and knowing the battery on the Nest is now only needed during power outages!
My nest worked fine for a year. Here in Texas we had a very cold wave. The heat only intermittently worked. Fan wouldn’t come on most times unless we reset the breakers. Now it’s starting to get warm and the AC wouldn’t come on at all. The outside unit would run, but the blower wouldn’t. I went to my local hardware store and bought the cheapest thermostat they had. Installed it. BOOM Fixed. Never doing nest again. I’ll keep this basic bitch thermostat until the day I die to avoid my kids going to bed cold.
I am having the exact same issue
Thank you for this! I had the thermostat connected incorrectly because I did not have it hooked up according to the terminal strip for the heat pump. You saved me a lot of time double-checking the wire colors by going to my pump and AC unit in my attic! Thanks again
You have become my number one hero 🤣
