What is the difference between RC and RH on a Nest Thermostat?
The RH wire refers to “red heating” which means that this is the connection you need in order to power the heating system of your air conditioning unit. The RC wire, on the other hand, refers to “red cooling”. It’s the same with the RH wire in that it powers the thermostat. For the RC, it powers the cooling system.
Can one Nest thermostat control two zones?
Google Nest thermostats are usually compatible with zoned systems that use multiple thermostats, including zoned systems with dampers. When multiple thermostats control one system, the house is divided into zones using dampers in the ductwork throughout the house.
How do I transfer my Nest thermostat to another owner?

Does R go to RC or RH nest?

Does R go to RC or RH?
In a thermostat, the R wire is responsible for powering the entire HVAC system (through a transformer). If you have both an Rh (Red-heat for powering the heating) and an Rc (Red-cool for powering the cooling), then the R wire can be connected to either Rh or Rc.
