My existing thermostat had Red wire connected to Rc, White to W, Black to W2 and Green to C and in the nest i have done the same.
I have read somewhere that for cooling we need a wire connected to Y terminal. Where do i get this wire?
What is the best way to get cooling working along with heating?

@hungryape , please post the picture of you old thermostat so I can see which color wire was attached to which terminal. The W2 id designated as Stage 2 Heat.

@hungryape , I need you to go outside to your outdoor system and get me the model number. I need to see if you have a heat pump or not.
In order for a conventional or heat pump operate there must be a wire attached to Y. Perhaps they made a forced connection in the air handler
