Dude didn't even install "Any Thermostat without a C-Wire"
Great job bro you succeeded in showing people how to do absolutely nothing besides hoping they are lucky enough to have a C-Wire already hiding in theor wall.

[bretforeman]

Dude, you saved me tons of $. This is the only video I could find where the furnace simply had wire nut connections, not a terminal board.

[bretttaylor]

Finally !!! Located the "C" wire, thank you so much. Unfortunately I already bought the Next Power Connector but you did save me a trip up to the roof. Solid video!!!

[WilbertStAnge]

This video saved me from returning my new ecobee because my C wire was not connected but wrapped around the wire and my air handler had no circuit board. Thanks, a lot.

This video just helped me tremendously!!! Thanks so much for sharing. I thought I was going to have to run a “C” wire . After watching you video and checking my HVAC system, I discovered that “C” wire is already in place.

I just clicked because The Rock is teaching me how to install my thermostat. Hey Rock, Ioved your last movie! Can you put me in as an extra in the next Jumanji flick?...

[boblasher]

Best video out there!! Could not figure out how to install my thermostat until I watched your video. Thank you very much!

[mathew]

This video saved my life! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get a C wire connection to our new ecobee3 lite. We have an older furnace with no C connection point. We had the unconnected extra wire and the trick to connect it up to the opposite wire as the yellow coming in from the a/c condenser was gold. My furnace controller board only had R W G so no C connection on the board. I thought I was out of luck. Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!!

[jeremymecler]

Thank you! This was the third video I watched, and the one that actually helped me!!

[ricocali]

My c wire was clipped in the furnace!!! This video did it for me . big thanks

[leroyh]

Awesome video. I got my thermostat without batteries to work with this video. Thank you

[KapHikes]

Thanks! This got my wyze thermostat going! Used the unused blue wire for the C wire and connected to the correct one on the wire to my compressor.

[kendySide]

So thankful I found this video, you just save us money on thinking we need it to buy an adapter. Thank you so much

[hughchristian]

Yeah buddy! You get to be my hero for the rest of the week. Found the illusive "C" wire in my air handler because of you my friend.

[bukhadavid]

Awesome thank!!!! I didn't realize that I had a blue wire now it's time get my new thermostat and replace this Google nest

[firebirdone]

Thank you!! My blue wire was still in the insulation sheath. I cut all wires back and was able to use the common wire.

[kevamor]

Man this video really helped me out. I just got a new wifi thermostat never needed the c wire before tested up at the thermostat from the red and c wire saw 20acv so I thought my c wire was hooked up by thermostat wouldn't work after hours of trouble shooting I find the c wire wasn't hooked at at furnace at all, crazy I still was seeing that 20acv but got it hooked up then of course the thermostat then worked. Uhgg. But this video is what made me go double check that the c wire was hooked up. Thanks

[brucecheek]

Thanks for this video.. Helped confirm my thoughts about installing a new 'smart' thermostat. One question, I do not have AC and therefor I do not have a compressor. I do have the blue wire from the thermostat to the furnace but do not know where to connect the blue at the furnace. I have located the 24V transformer but uncertain where to connect the blue wire. suggestion?

[patricknobles]

The only video that shows step by step instructions for connecting the infamous C wire without a system board, but rather wire nut connections. THANKS!!!

[macEboy]

WoW thanks, Sir!
I thought I might need to pull a wire off the transform outside!
Now I can finally install a smart T stat in my mome. Cheers and subscribed too!
