My goal is to add support for my furnace fan on my Nest Thermostat.

Looking at the furnace the board has many terminals, but not all are connected. Can I connect the G terminal to the G terminal on my thermostat?

My gut says, yes, but is there anything else I should check before doing this?

More information about the current configuration as requested by Jphi1618:

  • The furnace has wires connected to R, C, W1, W2, Y1, Y2 with open terminals for E1, E2, HUM, G
  • The Nest Thermostat I have is connected to R, W1, W2, Y1 with a jumper on Y1/Y2 at the furnace

    It's a little unclear what you are asking. It's obviously not going to anything with just one wire connected. What thermostat do you have now? What other wires are connected? Also, the G terminal on a thermostat usually makes the blower run rather than controlling cool or heat.

This should work

As long as your spare wire is continuous through the thermostat cable, you should be good to go with connecting G on your furnace to G on your thermostat so that you can manually command the furnace's blower to run.
