Nest Power Connector

Meet the C wire substitute for Nest thermostats.
Nest thermostats are designed to work without a C wire in most homes. But some systems may require a C wire for consistent power. The Nest Power Connector is a simple and affordable alternative to a C wire, and costs much less than hiring an electrician to install a new C wire through your walls.

Check g.co/nest/works to find out which Nest thermostats might need the Nest Power Connector to work in your home.
Get Pro installation at checkout or install it yourself.
The Nest Power Connector doesn’t require any new wiring or drilling. It attaches to your furnace, air handler, or zone controller and comes with simple instructions for easy installation. And if you don’t want to install it yourself, you can always hire a pro. See how it’s installed.
