2.  Equipment:

Homeowner or pro: Only if you have installed your thermostat by yourself then you have to select the above option and answer few questions about heating and cooling system.

Dual fuel: you will be asked whether your system is dual fuel or single fuel if your system has a heat pump with an additional heat wire. You might need a trained professional if you have a dual fuel.

Equipment detected: Your thermostat will display the wires it will detect in its connectors. If the wire is missing then you have to pull off the thermostat display and make sure that each wire is properly inserted into the connector and the button is down.

And once you have confirmed that the wiring is correct, your thermostat will ask some questions about your system such as what kind of fuel it uses and
what type of heating you have.

Fuel Source: Your thermostat will ask the questions about the fuel source of the heat and how the heat is being delivered if you have a conventional system installed. The Nest thermostat uses this information to determine how to control your heating and cooling system. 

If you know your fuel source, choose it from the available list. You can also choose I don’t know if you are not sure. You can always go back later to change your fuel source in the Settings>Equipment menu.

Type of Heating: You might also be asked whether you have forced air, in-floor radiant, or radiator system for heating.

Forced Air: Warm air comes out of vents or registers throughout your home.

In-Floor Radiant: Electric coils or hot water pipes under the floor heats your home.

Radiator System: Radiators are sealed metal containers filled with hot water, steam or electric coils. They are similar to the in-floor systems, since they don’t use vents or fans, but radiators aren’t installed under the floor.

Heat pump: If you have a heat pump there’s a wire in your thermostat’s O/B connector, your thermostat will ask you the question if you have an O or B wire. Here’s how to choose, test and change your selection if needed.

Choose O or B: check your heat pump’s manual in order to know the type O or B. Most systems have an O wire, so O is a good choice if you can’t tell. If you choose I Don’t Know, your thermostat will automatically select O.
