. Label wires Peel off the blue labels and attach them to your wires. Tip: Take a picture of the wires on your old thermostat to help you remember. 6. Disconnect wires and remove base Tip: Wrap the wires around a pencil to keep them from falling into the wall. 7. Mark where screws will go Use the bubble level to make sure Nest is level.
Optional in most homes Use trim plate if needed You can cover up holes or marks left by your old thermostat with the optional trim plate. Place the trim plate on the wall and put the base on top so they snap together, then screw them both to the wall. The trim plate can be found in the bottom of the Nest box. Optional in most homes Mounting Nest on an electrical box Electrical boxes aren’t common, but if you have one, secure the steel plate to the electrical box with two of the short steel plate screws.
