- NEST ROOM THERMOSTAT. NEST INSTALLATION. HOW TO INSTALL A NEST THERMOSTAT. Smart underfloor heating control. Combi Boiler. In-Floor Radiant. Underfloor Heating. In today's video I'm going to show you how to instal a Nest Learning Thermostat from start to finish into an in floor radiant system, also underfloor heating and to a combi boiler. It's just going to be a step by step guide, include connection the Nest to your phone as well.
My name's Allen Hart, and today I'm going to look at how to wire a Nest Thermostat. I'm going to instal the Nest, I'm going to replace this thermostat that I've got here on the underfloor heating system. So, I'm going to show you how to wire the Nest Thermostat, or the Nest NEST Learning Thermostat, onto an underfloor heating system. I'm also going to show you how to wire it onto a combi boiler. I've got quite a few combi boilers here, so I can show you different ways of connecting it onto different boilers as well.
Yeah, let's have a look now. First of all we'll just have a very quick look at what's in the box when you buy it. This thermostat, I bought this thermostat out of my own money, and I'm going to instal it in my man cave. And I've got Nest Thermostats already, so that's why I've got a Nest.
When you get these, they've got a little seal on there. Take the seal off and then we can have a look inside the box. Just take the cover off, you've got your Nest Thermostat. So, that's the bit that would go on the wall, or on your stand if you have a stand. I'm doing it, I'm going to instal this one on the wall. Got the instructions in there, and there's some different wiring diagrams in there as well. We'll go through them in a few minutes.
We've got the heat link, so that's the part that would wire to the boiler. We'll do that shortly as well. We've got the back plate for the thermostat, this is where you put the wires if you're going to wire this. And again, we'll go through that shortly. And then you've just got a few screws in there as well. Let's connect it onto the wall.
In the first page of the book, it's actually page five, but it's the first page that's got all that really matters, it shows you what you should have in the box. So, you should have the trim plate, which I'll show you that shortly. The display, the base, the heat link, and some screws.
So, first of all we'll start with the heat link, we've got that here. We've got a screw, just on bottom of there. And if you undo that screw, you can just life the front cover off. So, we'll have a closer look at this now.
For the first section of this video, I'm going to instal it onto the underfloor heating wiring centre. So, I'm just going to connect this onto the wall here. This video is just for advice, so always use someone who is competent to do wiring. If we start on here, we've got the neutral, we've got our live, and we've got an earth there. First wire I'm going to connect in, I'm going to put a loose lead on, which will be the neutral, the live, and the earth. I'm going to put that into here now.
I've wired the neutral in there, that's the blue wire, and that's the live. I'm also going to wire this earth wire, and that goes in here. Now, the instructions say if you're going to wire in T1 and T2, then it needs an earth, so that's why we're going to wire that in. I've labelled the live, the neutral and the earth on this, and that's something that's common, so you're always going to need that, whichever system that you wire, you're always going to need that live and the neutral.
The live, the neutral and the earth from the Nest heat link that needs to go to a spur, or to the main wiring centre where you put your live, your neutral, and an earth. Mine's just a bit of a jumble just there at the moment, but it'll be all inside that case once I've finished. And then what we need to do then is we need to look at the control of where we're taking the wires from. So we've got a ...
Could anyone tell me if the sound is better than my other videos, Thanks
Sound fine on my tablet. Audio does change in video depending on your microphone location. But perfectly audible.
Nice video if you have 12 rooms with one thermostat in each room how do you deal with it ?
B K just wire them in
Sound is very good
@@AllenHart999 all in a one junction box as series
100 times clearer than the actual instructions, spot on and sound was less echoey much better 👍🏾
Thank you
Very good upload no unessasery music and good sound levels.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Why can't Nest make videos this simple to follow, excellent!
Because they are stupid greed people the just want to sell and make you pay another £120 for installation.
I'm this close to sending my back for refund.
The way you explain it is great.tnx
Great video. Never installed one of these until now, so it was good to have an introduction to it!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant thanks, I now feel confident to fit my Nest Learning Thermostat 😁
Another easy to follow video from Alan well done Sir
brian jones Thank You 👍
Excellent as always, learned so much. Ta.
Couple of questions if you can help?
We’re looking at fitting the beneath heat slimboard retro fit underfloor heating system you cover in another video. Three zones and a forth zone for upstairs with conventional rads.
We’re planning on installing Nest thermostats for the full system, so four in total. Boiler is Ideal Logic Plus.
- Could you recommend a good quality Wiring Centre compatible with the Nest thermostats?
- would you fit a dedicated fused spur power supply for the wiring centre or take supply direct from boiler?
- would you recommend setting up in Opentherm? Or is there no advantage to this?
Many thanks.
Seems very straightforward. Great reference video which I have ‘bookmarked’.😀👍
Another very informative and enjoyable video. We had a Nest installed in February and it's so easy to program from the app.
I'd remove the bit with your WiFi password though!
We have change our internet on the day of the video. With bt again now. Thanks though.
Ideal boiler connection to nest
Hi Allan thanks for making these videos really are well worth watching just one question which grade wire are you using to wire in units size wise and does it have to be heat proof ect thanks
0.75 Heat proof for inside boiler. Thanks.
Hi Alen
Could you possibly do a vid installing the nest or hive to a Worcester Bosch 30i combi please?
You knew I’d love this video, nest is best.
Andrew Tyler 😂😂😂👍
Brilliant tutorial, this has been very helpful
Hi Allen, I'm new in this trade. I was watching your all videos since I was in training and now I'm qualified. Honestly all of your videos are great and worth watching. I can't remember i missed one. I got 2 questions about this product if I want to wire from fuse spare, do I have to use 5 core cables to the combi boiler from back plate? And if I had to install the display away from boiler where no socket available then do I have do hard wiring?
Fantastic job done again great video Alan
Chris Cars Thank You 🙏
Thank you for the video! Is it preferable to remove the old programmer from the boiler and replace it with the heat link?
Great vid thanks Allen.
Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video Allen, thank you keep them coming 👍
Thank You. Did you see the tiling one? Thanks.
Not yet Allen, I’m going to watch the tiling and underfloor hearing one together. 👍
@@jayhambleton5834 ua-cam.com/video/22g13Ly0qFQ/v-deo.html
Get a ferrule crimper and some bootlace crimps for those stranded core cables mate. Would save them from getting destroyed when you tighten the terminals and gives better contact.
Hello allen , greats video. Do you have a video on nest installation on an S plan system? Regards
Great video Alan Exactly what I was after thank you
Hi Allen, I'm trying to do almost this exact setup at the moment - right now my Baxi boiler is connected to my Heat Link how you show it toward the end of this video.
My question is - I'm adding an OMNIE underfloor heating wiring centre to this set up. How do I connect both the UFH wiring centre and the combi boiler to the heat link at the same time, so that when the Nest calls for heat, the boiler and UFH pump both activate at the same time?
Thanks for your brilliant videos from a fellow Yorkshireman!
Stay safe. Watch this one just in case. Thanks ua-cam.com/video/Hh5lFC7VI4U/v-deo.html
Hi Allen, first of all great video!, clear explanation and to be honest the only one I can find for helping me installing the Nest heat link with the UFH. But I still have one question: my Wiring Center connects with 24v thermostats. So can I stil use the same wiring as you did? L(24v) and the Switch Live? So I don’t do anything with the old N(24v)?
Thanks for the videos.
Have you installed any nests? Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 yes I've done a few. But the company usually supplied hives. I prefer the nest myself.
@@ArksE8 I have only installed one hive. Installed loads of nest though. Thanks
Hi Allen,
I hope you are well and thank you for the great videos.
May I ask if you are still satisfied with the Nest thermostat and what issues have you experienced over the years?
I am renovating my flat and soon will be looking on the market for the whole wiring system, thermostats etc.
I have the manifold installed and underfloor heating in place, but still wonder which OP system is the best.
I’ll very much appreciate if you could advise, please.
Best regards,
Iliya
Thanks for this. I was wondering how to to go about having a couple of tado wireless thermostats controlling 2 UFH zones and this has cleared that up.
Am I right to assume that if my whole house(other than a towel rad) is on smart TRVs, I won't need a zone valve to split the ufh and the rad systems?
Thanks again
Hi Allen. Great work as usual. I bought a Baxi 800 which I think you’ve said is a good choice.
Our installer got the boiler up and our electrician connected the nest but we’re not sure about the best setup in terms of opentherm. Do we need to use that standard with the Baxi?
And we have the nest on a stand and not directly wired. Is that ok? Does Openthem need it to be directly wired?
Sorry for that questions. And don’t worry, I won’t be touching any wires. I’ll leave that to a professional.
hi allen
thanks for the video the info is spot on just a quick question im looking to have underfloor heating like you have and looking to add the rads on to zone 8 on the HEATMISER Wiring Centre UH8 230V just wondering if its easy to wire up a nest and zone valve to that wiering center
Where did you buy the Beneath Heat control and what’s the model number ?
Good video thank you but would be good for you to show a video showing USB low voltage adapter connection in a Hallway for example this is how I have mine and explain that Nest Thermostat speaks to Heatlink using a thread wireless network & is not dependant on home WiFi, one of the great advantages of Nest is that schedule is maintained should internet or router go down. Also that pressing button on Heatlink will switch on boiler should you loose connection to the thermostat.
Beautiful, straight forward video. For a combi boiler, is there any benefit besides looking nicer to not do a nest thermostat e? I only need central heating control not hot water control as the taps/shower calls for the hot water.
Thanks.
Brilliant
Jerry Smiley Thank You
Can you please tell me how to connect a Nest to a Vokera Vision 30C
Hi..I use pelet stove..i have connected in hub actuators with thermostats,pump on its place too..boiler place now is empty..can i connect pelet stove where is boiler place to make it go off when temperature is right
Hi M8 i got my combi boiler connected to nest heat link now works absolutely fine , but water underfloor heating in kitchen connected to an old thermostat which is not working so i want to connect the underfloor heating from kitchen to this existing next heat link and controll using existing nest thermostat ,do i need a wiring centre to do that or can i connect directly to heatlink to get it working ? if you can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated
Great Vid. I'm pretty pissed off I sold my two nests when moving into my newbuild with underfloor heating as my plumber told me "doesn't work with nest". Now I'm stuck with dumb €15 heatmiser stats.
On a vailiant ecotec plus 831 combi would you have to remove the manual clock programmer module ?, good video by the way
so the thermostat cable is only for power? It receives on/off signal wirelessly from heatlink? So if your replacing a wireless thermostat you would need the nest somewhere with a 240'v socket close by so you can use the nest usb adapter to get that power?
That's correct.
Surprised they didn't provide a battery option so the stat could be altogether wireless.
@@simonmander4314 You make a very good point.
Do they work with a Mitsubishi electric heat pump system have tried speaking to google nest about it they haven’t got a clue ?
Hi Allen
Can you carry out the wiring installation of the boiler with zone valves and underfloor heating from the time& temp controller to the boiler with wireless controller please. Thanks mate
Hi there, do you know how the nest thermostat can we wired in if we don't have pre-existing thermostat in the home so no previous wiring to heatlink. It would be a large job running wires to the heatlink from inside the home and really don't want to use the base and charger for a cleaner install.
Hi! I have underfloor heating and my gen2 nest only turns on heat on the boiler, but the pump that should move water, stays off. The pump only turns on if I use the button on the heatlink for manual heating. How to fix this, so the pump would start when I use the wireless thermostat?
So do you need one nest for each heating actuators ?
Kaiser09 This is my dilemma also? It ends up being a really expensive job, especially when each Nest costs £200.00. I have 6 Underfloor heating zones to connect.
I have a ideal combi boiler with the nest learning stat that’s wired to terminals 2 and 3 for volt free switching in the heatlink but I’m asking anyone who knows if it’s possible to use the 5 and 6 terminals that has the live link to make them 240v and still keep 2 and 3 volt free. It’s just that I’ve added ufh and need switched power for the pump. I haven’t installed a zone valve as I only want one stat. Is this possible without blowing the unit?
Nice video. We have a Worcester and have always been confused as to what temp the dial should be at on the Boiler itself? or does it matter?
I have an old Vailant gas boiler for heating with radiators and hot water. Can I install the Nest? And controll the heating?
Can it be conected to a termometer outside and in order to max the efficieny?
Great video, but you should be connecting cpc (earth) through, its a big no no having live cables without continuity of cpc in them ⚡️ this is the difference between an rcd tripping and a short circuit
Excellent video, just one question on a gravity fed system, I've installed my nest - but I didn't connect the "heat satisfied" link - everything works great, but this has worried me - what's you thoughts?
I have never installed one on a gravity system. I would need to look at the wires and test.
Will this boiler work with the o/T on the nest
I believe so, please check instructions or call manufacture.
you are a LEGEND. Allen, I had a question. I have my thermostats connected to the wiring centre and now I need help on connecting my wiring centre to the combi boiler. Do I simply connect the "heat enable" port to the "link" port on the boiler terminals? Is it basically the same as connecting a thermostat directly to the combi boiler?
Hi. Just disconnected the heat link from the wiring centre and connect to the boiler.
If you wallmount the nest and power via heatlink, will the thermostat still work if you remove from the wall mount?
Just one question Allan, can these best thermostats be connected too a Infrared Panel Heater. I believe the 600 Watt panel I have is 2.6 amps.
Cheers for the video 🍻
Hello what wiring centre you use to connect nest thermostat?
Hi, mate, can you do one on a wireless thermostat for a Greenstar CDI classic ERP at the moment I have a manual dial type one on the unit front...
i will try..
Thanks mate
I have a Baxi 33 platinum and a nest E .the boiler terminals show that it is 240 volts out so how can I connect the Nest E to it
Why didn't you use a four core flexible for the heatlink which would only need one wire to the boiler and the a three core for the thermostat?
Just use what i have. Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 understood
I have an older valiant fitted it about 12 years ago will this work on that ? Cheers
Works on any boiler really.
süper video
Birgül'ün Yöresel Lezzetleri Thanks
So could you not just used 5 core flex for this
You shouldn’t mix low voltage and super low voltage really.
👌👍
Iv wired mine up exactly the same as you have and it’s not turn the heating on or off . Anyone know what the problem could be ?
Hi There how do I connect to a valiant combi hot water for nest
Off the top of my head i don,t know, i would need to follow the installation instructions . Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 Hi Allen, Thank you for the update
Just gimme an ideal Mexico floor standing on an S plan system with a good old fashioned 2 ch timer.
Far too much faff! Lol
Stay safe. Watch this one just in case. Thanks ua-cam.com/video/Hh5lFC7VI4U/v-deo.html
Sure t1 t2 could be wired from the main unit however what stops you from providing your own power ( not 240v ) supply to the wireless nest unit in the wall elsewhere without running t1 t2 between each other. Of course this means a 240v to 12v? and that will cost you a little bit and it will likely require a fused single gang near by? I can see this all being slightly messy I guess but I’m certainly not advocating you hide the usb power adapter in the wall of course , since I bet someone will do that and could
Overheat? What do you think about providing power to the wireless unit like I propose .
I have seen an alarm guy connect it to his alarm. I would advise wiring directly to heat link, If not use the power supply from Nest adapter and plug it in. Thanks.
Allen Hart fair enough . Thanks for the advice
@@gamemaster2618 No problem. Thanks for watching.
How would you wire multiple stats for each underfloor heating zone, would you need a stat & heatlink per zone & take 230v from each zonein ufh wiring centre to each heatlink or is there a way to use 1 heatlink with multiple stats??? Any insight would be much appreciated
My boiler turns on itself and I have a nest any idea buddy why
💫💫💫💫💫
Send me your audios I can make them louder
I’m gas and sound engineer actually
I'm trying to to put in a nest to a combi boiler but not sure I'm connecting thr heatlink correctly we have an old timer and Holywell thermostat at the mo and was told to take off the timer and use those wire to connect the heatlink but wen connected it clicks but doesn't turn on the boiler so not sure we're putting the wire into Courcy place on the heatlink? Can you help?
