The common wire could be labeled “C”, “B” or “X” on the old thermostat. Please refer to the owner’s manual of the old thermostat.

What if I don’t have a common wire and need one?
There are a few options if the application does not have or will not allow the pulling of a common wire (c-wire) through the wall.

  1. Look for an unused wire in the thermostat cable bundle
