Red wire or “R” wire is the power wire. They originate in the transformer (air conditioners; in the air handler) and provide the 24-hour volt AC power. All air conditioner thermostats have a red wire for power. You may also have Rc or Rh terminals for dual transformer systems; these...
Red – Rc – 24VAC (dedicated to cooling call) Green – G –Fan White – W –Heat Yellow – Y –Air conditioner Do I Really Need a C Wire? Yes, you should install a C-wire if you are upgrading your thermostat. Nearly all modern thermostats, smart or not, require a power source,...
The red cooling and heating (Rc and Rh) wires are connected to create a four-wire system when both cooling and heating systems are combined and connected to a single 24V alternating current (AC) transformer. Common Specifications No. Of Cores Conduct...

An HVAC system might have separate Rc and Rh terminals. Rc POWER Power for the cooling system. Rh POWER Power for the heating system. S1, S2 SENSOR Connections to outdoor temperature sensors. W HEATING Connection to a single-stage heating system or to the first stage in a multi-stage ...
1). Attach theRedwire to the R terminal for 24VPower– or to the RC terminal if that is where it was on the old thermostat. 2). Attach theWhitewire to the W terminal forHeating. What about a C wire? Furnace-only setups do not need a Common wire. ...
