Most smart thermostats today that are Wi-Fi enabled or have a color touch screen may require constant power through a thermostat C-wire. This ensures your thermostat has a continuous flow of power to function properly. There may be a few smart thermostat models that don’t require a C-wire and can operate with batteries. You should always ensure proper wiring as needed for your HVAC system and corresponding thermostat (with or without a C-wire). Check your HVAC system compatibility to see if you need a C-wire for your smart thermostat.

This common wire kit eliminates the need to run a new wire throughout your home. Installation is easy. Watch the videos below for more info.

For use with the Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat. The Sensi Smart Thermostat doesn’t require a C-wire for most applications.

Finding and using an unused wire as a C-wire

Using the G-wire as a C-wire

If you can not find an unused wire or common wire, you can also use for fan wire or G-wire as a common wire. This video serve as a second option in common wire installation.


Installing Common Wire Maker Kit

If there is not an extra unused wire running from the thermostat to the furnace, and using the G-wire as a common wire is not an option, in most cases, installing a Common Wire Maker Kit is the best solution.
