Northeast problems

Are you saying north east problems because houses are older and likely not to have a c wire?

Yes, and to be fair is more of an east coast issue.

I don't have one and I was still able to install these thermostats

I believe that will run the risk of your battery dying and your heat turning off

I've had my nest thermostats for 5+ years and never had an issue. It was a pain in the ass having to call for help to do the work around, but they've been working for years and the heat has never shut off.

I have no idea. I'm not into all that technical stuff. I remember buying them ready to wire them myself and got stuck at the C wire I just didn't have. There was a work around someone was able to figure out.
