Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) Installation Guide

Troubleshooting - Power Solutions  
1.  
If your thermostat has power-related issues, like the baꢀery draining too quickly or Wi-Fi constantly  
disconnecting, you can typically fix them by connecting a common wire (C wire) or by installing the  
Nest Power Connector. Either one will provide a stable power source for your Nest thermostat when your  
system can’t deliver enough consistent power to it.  
Please Note: A Power Connector is needed for each thermostat in a Zoned system.  
2.  
Use a spare wire as common wire  
The easiest way to solve the problem is by using a spare wire in the thermostat wire as a common wire.  
Simply connect one end of the the unused wire to the common (“C”) terminal in the HVAC controller and  
the other end to the thermostat’s C terminal.  
3.  
Add a resistor to an existing Y or W wire  
We’ve found that many Y and W wire circuits that cannot supply enough power can be strengthened by bridging  
the common terminal at the HVAC equipment to W or Y through a 220-ohm, 5W resistor.  
In a heat-only system, you need to bridge from common (C) to W. In a HVAC system with a Y wire, you must  
bridge from common (C) to Y. In a system with both W and Y, you should bridge from common (C) to Y.

4.  
Pull a new C wire  
Replace the thermostat wiring bundle to provide an extra wire to be used as common. Advise your customer  
that this will require extra work and therefore an additional cost.
