So had nest installed. My old 1994 air handler doesnt have a C wire which is for continuous power. Nest says this isn't necessary, instead it taps hot or cold lines doing some to get battery power.
Well now my ac doesn't really work. I mean it kinda works but i def can't get it below 80. If i go wake the nest up it turns on and air handler kicks in.
Has anyone installed a nest thermo with no c wire?
Ordered one of these guys hoping it'll be my saving grave before having to go back to mercury. I don't see a terminal on the handler for C so this is only option I think..

I'd get the sander out. If you hit it hard enough with the pressure washer to clean that off you're going to damage the wood.

there should be guides on how to get around that, like for instance you can use the fan wire as a c wire in the sensi

Doesn't seem like my control board has a C terminal. This pic is shit and will get a better one tomorrow.

well you bought that c-wire maker right? so just wait for that.
heres the sensi c wire options, i'm sure they're universally applied, it's just organized nice here
Thermostat C-Wire Installation | Sensi US
For Sensi Smart Thermostat, a common wire (c-wire) is required for heat only systems, cool only systems and heat pump without auxiliary heat.

How can I add a "C" wire to my thermostat?
So, the spiffy new wi-fi thermostats want power on the C wire from thermostat, but the old thermostat doesn't have a C wire at it. What's the easiest way to add the C wire/24 volt to the thermostat

1994 my man. AC guy that came out to service it was surprised it worked so well..... It literally can frosts the windows up in florida heat. Obviously it's probably not the most efficient.. We'll see how long it last... Nfc how they'll get a new air handler in the attic when the time comes.

did he offer ac duct cleaning? you could probably get by, by buying a cheap furnace filter, use it for now and using a leafblower and blow in the return ducts, the cheap filter will catch the dust bunnies, and you can also get a long rod brush cleaner.
my house was made the same year, but i got a new furnance/ac included as purchase, but there was a ton of dust inside the ducts, prob never been cleaned.

run the cat5 before noon...Nah he didn't. This is like a 988 sqr foot cabin built in 1960. He seemed to think everything was in great shape and judging by how damn cold that mercury thermostat was keeping it I didn't question him.Attic is a fucking bitch to work in. I dread every time I have to work up there, so damn tight. Need to run cat5e up there tomorrow
.
House honestly has never been fully lived in since being built in 1960s. I'd say after the 1980s it was probably rarely used, if not sooner.
