Smart Thermostat Without a C Wire – Help Needed!

General

Hi all,

I’m looking to upgrade to a smart thermostat, but my house doesn’t have a C wire. Has anyone else tackled this problem? What are the best options or workarounds for installing a smart thermostat without a C wire?

Thanks for any advice!

I totally get the C wire dilemma. I had the same issue when I upgraded my thermostat. One cool trick is using a “C-wire adapter”. It’s a little gizmo that helps power your smart thermostat without needing a C wire. Another option is to get a smart thermostat that works without one, like some models from Ecobee or Nest.
