Heat pumps are different than air conditioners because a heat pump uses the process of refrigeration to heat and cool while an air conditioner uses the process of refrigeration to only cool the central air conditioner will usually be paired with a gas furnace an electric furnace or some other method of heating.
Heating and cooling thermostat wiring diagram.
S indoor and outdoor wired sensors.
The blue wire on the thermostat is the common or c wire.
Not all systems have a c wire installed but nest thermostats were engineered to use as little power as possible for their display and internal circuitry so in the.
A transformer for cooling and a transformer for heating.
Not only does it allow you to control temperature readily but the device can also be able to find out your own pattern.
Thermostat wiring diagrams for heat pumps heat pump thermostat wire diagrams.
The common c wire doesn t control heating or cooling.
See the diagram below for what each wire controls on your system.

In depth thermostat wiring guide for homeowners nest thermostat wiring diagram for 2 stage cooling 2 stage heat nest thermostat itself is another generation of cooling and heating apparatus.
The thermostat is the control device that provides a simple user interface with the internal workings of your homes climate control system.
The thermostat uses 1 wire to control each of your hvac system s primary functions such as heating cooling fan etc.
Always refer to your thermostat or equipment installation guides to verify proper wiring.
Furthermore it should be noted that a jumper can be installed between rc and rh for a heating and cooling system equipped with a single transformer.
Red wire for rc terminal.
The rc wire connects to the cooling system.
In this case the power from the transformer in the air conditioning system would go to the thermostat terminal.
This wire connects to your heat pump if applicable.
Instead c wires help deliver power from the system to the thermostat in case the other wires can t provide enough power.
A wiring diagram is a streamlined traditional pictorial representation of an electric circuit.

Air conditioning ac contactor control board 1 this diagram is to be used as reference for the low voltage control wiring of your heating and ac system.
Note some ac systems will have a blue wire with a pink stripe in place of the yellow or y wire.
It reveals the components of the circuit as streamlined shapes as well as the power as well as signal connections in between the devices.
