Nest learning thermostat

[Pen]

? Just installed my nest learning thermostat. I do not have a C wire. Will I need to periodically Remove and recharge the nest thermostat for it to work properly

There's some good guidance on how to tell if you need a C wire below:

Hello folks,

I wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Thanks for sharing the article about how the Common wire works, @David_K.

@Pen, most of the time, the heating and cooling wires can be used to charge the internal battery of Google Nest Thermostats. To reliably supply power to their thermostat, you might occasionally need to connect a common wire, often known as a C wire, or the Nest Power Connection.

Feel free to let us know if you have more questions in mind.

Best,

Mark
