Nest Thermostat

I have a Honeywell wireless thermostat and would like to switch to a Nest thermostat. Is this possible to do?

It may be possible. We'd need the model number off the thermostat. Since it's wireless that would mean an EIM is connected to the furnace. That will need to be disconnected and then the wiring reconnected to use the nest.

FYI...... the nest needs to be wired to your system.
It will not connect wirelessly like the Honeywell does.

I’d stick with the Honeywell, or at least a Honeywell product.
The Nest is possibly the worst choice someone could make for a thermostat. Terrible little things.

That uses a Redlink EIM (equipment interface) mounted on the furnace. That will need to be disconnected. You will need to check to see how many wires connect that module to the furnace. Then you will need to confirm the wire count from the furnace to the thermostat.
