learning thermostat hey guys welcome to daddicated my name is andy
i like to fix stuff build stuff and remodel stuff on this channel if you
enjoy this type of content hit that subscribe button and let's begin
before you proceed taking the old thermostat off make sure you don't have
a high voltage thermostat google nest is not compatible with a
high voltage such as 120 or 220 volts it operates
only on low voltage first find your electric panel and turn
off the circuit breaker for the hvac system
make sure that the thermostat screen turns off next use your hand
and pop off the cover of the face you may need to use a little bit of force
then use a small flathead screwdriver and loosen all the screws
that are clamping the wires use the label stickers that come with your
google nest thermostat and label each letter with the color
wire that it is this way you can remove the thermostat
and then label all the wires it's also a good idea to take a picture
before removing the thermostat next locate the two mounting screws and
remove them using a drill or a phillips head
screwdriver then carefully take off the old thermostat
next take the time and label all the colored wires with the stickers
from the cheat sheet that you made earlier then you can use this cover that
came with the nest thermostat to cover the unpainted wall section or you can
mount the thermostat directly on the wall first
take this piece right here and trace around to see what area you will need to
repair in addition mark the top and bottom
mounting holes next repair the wall by taking out the
old drywall anchors then filling the holes with some dry
wall putty and use some touch-up paint to cover the unpainted
area use a drill and drill two pilot holes
for new drywall anchors you can use any drywall anchors available to you i'll
have some in the links below install the drywall anchors next take
the nest base pull the wires through the center hole
and start connecting the wires with the matching letters on your labels
make sure the wires are stripped well before connecting them into the base
plate push the wires all the way in and make
sure that the connector buttons stay down
otherwise the thermostat may not work properly next take the provided screws
and screw the nest into the wall using a phillips head
screwdriver that came with the thermostat
use the level indicator on the base and make sure that it's straight
make sure that the wires are pushed in into the base plate then
take the nest thermostat and make sure that the connector on the back lines up
with the connector on the base plate and push it in
until you hear a click next power up the google nest by switching your circuit
breaker then go through the setup process by
first selecting the language by pressing on
on the nest to make the selection or spin the wheel to change it then i
selected the homeowner option then the single
fuel heating system then i had to select the emergency option
because my system is set up this way next it showed me what wires were
detected on my system and what they're for that
was a kind of cool feature so just click continue again it showed
me what my system consists of for what type of heating i have i wasn't
sure so first i clicked on more info which gave me
their website for help the website had this nice diagram where
i knew i needed to select forced air for the wire type i selected
o-wire but if you don't know you may want to do some more research
before selecting which one you have next you can add the nest thermostat to
your phone so i hit continue and it showed me the serial number that
i need to connect to their app then i download the nest app created an
account and enter the serial number and hit next once it's ready
you will see the next button so you press next then select the location
where the thermostat is in my case it's in the hallway then
it tells you about the auto scheduling so you just
hit next then you can set the economy mode
temperature parameters orange is for the heat and blues for the ac
then i hit next then select the mode you want to use today
in my case it would be the ac or the cool since
we live in florida next you will see that the thermostat screen changes to
your thermostat is now configured for your system and the button on the phone
says done so hit done and put the phone away then hit continue and it has
another message that says your system is ready to test
i hit the test now next select which part of the systems you want to test i
selected the heat pump cooling to test the ac it told me
that the air should be on and it was so i hit done and the ac
turned off then i tested the fan and it worked fine
as well next i attempted to test the emergency heating
but it warned me not to because it was 86 degrees outside then finally i hit
done and it brought me to the main screen
where i can adjust the temperature of my unit that's it
