How To Install Nest Thermostat With Heat Pump Wiring

[@bullpolizei]

Thank you so much!! I finally installed mine since I had a 7 wire system that caused some confusion, the 7th wire being brown for my "Emergency Heat". Put the brown in the *connector and ran a test. Everything works perfectly with no faults!! This video was wayyy easier to follow than the nest instructions.

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Excellent!

[@artsoto5459]

In what connector? I have a brown wire that goes to Emergency and aux with a wire for aux, im guessing I don't need the emergency wire?

[@bullpolizei]

@artsoto5459 I ran my brown to the star connector for (emergency/Aux) heat everything works fine. Not sure on your setup but sounds similar to mine.

[@artsoto5459]

@@bullpolizeisounds like it, I have a 2 ton Goodman heat pump, with Aux being the same as Emergency heat, I am not even sure why the emergency switch is on my thermostat, how is the nest working for you?

[@bullpolizei]

@artsoto5459 pretty much the exact same setup I have, Goodman heat pump and air handler. I think yours would use the same wiring mine did. The nest will tell you whether it's wired right or not so it's worth a shot. So far, so good. I really like it, it's saved me some money on energy costs for sure. I have 2 of the nests, top floor and bottom floor, wouldn't go back to a standard stat.

THANK YOU!!! All I needed to do was change from O to B and I was about to pay $75 to have someone come out and do that.

[@shawnise]

Thanks for the O/B explanation. I was trying to figure out why it was blowing cold when I had heat on. I switched it from O to B and now it heats when I turn heat on.

This video is extremely informative, I'm struggling with a geothermal system that has 3 white wires. My current thermostat, (white and rodgers 1f82-261) has WH1 with 2 white wires and E with a blue and a white wire. I'll look into your more complexed system video you mention. Thank you for your time and effort posting these videos.

[@Desi-un9eg]

thank you 🙏 only video that explained everything so I was able to troubleshoot from every angle.

[@masterfubar23]

The B switch is what saved me. Thank you so much.

Hello. I have a question. I watched your old Heat Pump video from 4 years ago and you had Red wire connecting to Rc, but this video you are using Rh. Which should I connect for my 4 wire thermostat set up?

[@AmolPatil-nd1ic]

Thanks for detailed explanation. I fixed issue & working Nest perfectly..

[@FranciscoNogueira]

Cool video. Any reason for that thermostat not showing any cooling option when selecting a temperature lower than the current ambient temperature?

[@LT1SWAPCOM]

I have a heat pump, with heat strips. No other source of heat. My old thermostat had AUX/E with two wires in it. (white & black in my case) White goes to W1 in the air handler, (W1 jumped to W2), and Black goes to heat strip relays directly. (how it was when i bought house) Prior thermostat heat strips kicked on in extreme cold if heatpump could not keep up, and emg heat worked from thermostat like it should. I put the white wire to W2 Aux, and the black wire to the *. would this be correct? or do I not even need the W1 wire? If I recall , heat mode the blower runs slightly slower then in cooling mode. I would assume the board uses signals from Y1 or W1 to determine blower speed or maybe the O reversing valve input? I know just enough to be dangerous, thanks for your time.

[@jdahl523]

I have a 2 stage heat pump with electric aux heat. My thermostat requires a W1 wire but you mentioned that’s for boilers. Does my setup make sense to you? I would have dual fuel then, correct?

[@deonteglover4045]

I too have a 2 stage heat pump with electric aux heat, have you figured it out? If so can you PLEASE help me

[@SeanMcDonnell33]

@@deonteglover4045 same here... i think.

[@adanrivas8111]

I do have a question, i have a 2 stage heat pump when i go through the settings it will ask seasonal or cycle which i i pick? Thats the one that really made me wonder.

[@11FOXTROT]

I have a Nest installed with a heat pump. It used to shoe aux heat when I turned up the temp from a low setting to a much higher setting. Set it remotely through the app as it is a vacation home. Right now I have it with heat pump balance off and aux to be used below 50. (I'm concerned about deep snow on the heat pump) shouldn't it show on the app that it is using aux heat?(outside temp is 18) Thank you!

[@ranger6447]

Awesome, Excellent video, Thank You.

[@LewinTaquiso]

Hi, do you know what smart thermostat system will work when you have an O and B?

[@atunga5]

thank you for this great information .. my system has all those wires plus one additional wire connected to an E terminal. (the wire is black) where would that connect? the * ?

[@deonteglover4045]

Have you figured this out yet? If so, please help me!

[@taz11251]

Was the black wire connected to the E and Aux terminal?

[@JiMmY-fm9xq]

I just replaced my old gas/electric system to packaged heat pump. I only have R,Y,W,G 4 wires. My contractor put non wifi honeywell T6 pro thermostat. It seems W wire is now connected O/B instead of W as before. Can I still install this nest system by just connecting wires as is now?

[@JamesFFHarris]

Sir, I am in Dallas Texas. I have a Nest Learning Thermostat (A0013) with a (Daikin) heat pump and just bought it (HP) because I got a GREAT Deal. I never wanted to use the heat Pump for Heat because gas is 1/3 the cost cheaper and is abundant. It cools very well. I continue to want to use the gas furnace for heat all the time and never engage the Heat Pump for heating. Do I need to TRASH this Thermostat for that to happen?

[@miguellomejoral1005]

What means dual fuel system or single fuel heat pump ??

[@carlneb8619]

Excellent video!

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Glad you liked it!

[@epiphini]

At the 16:06 mark...why does it says AUX Heat on the Thermostat? Isn't AUX Heat used only when the temp is below 35 degrees?

[@nick4819]

If I'm not mistaken, it comes on when there is a big temperature difference. Since he set it 3-4 degrees above what the room was, the thermostat thinks it needs a ton of heating. Once it gets to temp, it will try and maintain that temperature and should only use the heat pump.

[@53notneb]

I have a Westinghouse duel fuel package heat pump. It is a two wire system to the thermostat. Can a Nest work on this unit?

[@bryannanna380]

Would I be able to use a nest with a system like this from Daikin? I'm confused by the A mostly. R red C Black Y1 yellow Y2 pink W1 white W2 brown O orange G green A blue L beige

[@ShortyzProductionz]

I installed a nest and the heat pump heating function works but cooling does not, cooling also heats. I have the O wire set to seasonally on it but it never gets a “call” from the thermostat for the reversing valve. I get no power on my multimeter. I’ve tried switching to B and it has the same outcome

[@MK-fg9qe]

I have a Gas furnace + heat pump and AC. When I set up the nest, do I choose a dual fuel system or a single fuel ( 11:25 )? At the beginning of your wire setup, I have almost the same wires as yours except my white wire is in W/E. Is it ok to put my white wire in the W2 aux? Happy New year!!

[@russellchevalier3606]

Same question here

[@therioncoston7424]

What happens if I put white on w1 instead of w2

[@kevinilluiri9908]

Hello i would need some help to wire my thermostat it only has 3 wires, black, red, and white

[@kjroberts9472]

I have a wiring question,  Blue - C White - W2 jumper to E Red - R Green - G Orange - O/B Yellow - Y Would I just remove the jumper and place W

[@kjroberts9472]

I do have the “Nest Thermostat” it only has Y, C, W, G,R and OB

[@brianmontero8566]

My heat pump has a brown wire to W2 and a white wire to W. W also has a jumper cable between W and Y where there is a yellow cable. When I hook up the nest it default to dual fuel system which I don't think this is it. What Can I do?

[@paulalacy3395]

Did you ever get this?

[@adanrivas8111]

**which do i pick

[@alexbarrientos3391]

This guy lost me when he said “coolant” come on bro lol

[@ajondle7]

I have 10 wires...... what the heck
