Nest compatibility - Extra wire makes my furnace non-compatible?
Go to the furnace and look to see where the wire designated as "4" is connected. Its probably a common.

I didn't post the model because I have no idea what it is. There's a name there, but not an identifiable model.
Here are the pictures.

Connect like this:
Old - New
G - G
Y - Y
W - W
RC - R
You don't need this jumper RC - 4 for your new thermostat

Make sure you mark those wires ONE at a time as you remove them.  And as stated, you don't jump out Rc & Rh with the NEST, just terminate the current Rc wire on your old thermostat to Rh on the NEST terminal board, the NEST will automatically jump out Rc & Rh internally.

Hey there... hope you dont mind the question but it is related.
We have a Lennox hi eff furnace with a carrier control panel (at the furnace) & a thermostat on the wall in our living space. How can I connect a Nest to this when all my wires are in the basement in the control panel? I have pic to email you if needed.

Hey thanks, I thought so but didn't trust myself.
What are the black & white wires on the lower left on the controller that run up to the thermostat.
Thanks...

S I only need the bundle of coloured wires from the furnace to the nest. Thus the 2 wires in the carrier control panel will be out of the picture?
