Rc goes to Rc it is the + power for cooling ac system.

Rh is the + power for the heating system.

Do you have 2 red wires Rh and Rc on the old thermostat?

Do you have a C common wire? If not you need to see if the cable has a spare wire not being used and connect it to the C on Nest and then go the heating system and connect the same color wire to the C on heater.
