Home Improvement Asked by hong on October 10, 2020
I installed a Nest at home and it worked OK. Recently, I noticed there was a power issue. Google and others suggested adding a power supply by using the existing G wire because there are only 4 wires. Here is what I am planing to do:
On Nest side:
On furnace side:
However, when I checked my furnace, there is no wire on Y terminal, and there is a blue wire which directly connected to C terminal. But on my Nest side, there is no blue wire, instead, there is a black wire which connected to Y1. If I follow the above step and rewire Green wire to C terminal, what is the next? I tried, if I rewire Green wire to C terminal, when I turned on the cooling, the fan was not on, but the condenser is running.
Please provide you suggestions.
For reference, the current connection on Nest side is:
If you only move G to C and jump Y and G, that will do nothing since there's no power going to Y currently. You'd have to "jump" from wherever your black wire (Y1) is actually connected, but if you go to the trouble of doing this, you're better off just running a new common wire.
You could try using Venstar Add-A-Wire, but I think this will be tricky in your case because your furnace isn't controlling your compressor relay, so you'd have to follow R and C and run the Y from the Add-A-Wire to the compressor itself (wherever your black wire is currently connected).
