My electric heating equipment has no labeled common terminal for a smart thermostat.

Identify what the thermostat controls

An electric furnace or heat-pump air handler can use low-voltage controls. Electric baseboard or other resistance heaters may use line-voltage controls, which switch household electrical power. A wall heater may have another arrangement. The fact that two wires reach a thermostat does not distinguish those systems.

For example, Google's Nest compatibility guidance says its thermostats are designed for most 24-volt systems, while high-voltage systems and millivolt systems (which use very small control power) need different treatment and may be incompatible. It also warns that high-voltage thermostat installation or removal belongs to a professional. Nest voltage and equipment compatibility.

Use the equipment model, the old thermostat model, existing documentation, and any voltage label visible without removing wiring or opening equipment. Do not uncover unknown electrical connections to count wires. Do not use a metal cabinet or grounding wire as a thermostat power return.

Ask for a complete supported design

Have the professional determine the control voltage, the required switching arrangement, and whether the proposed smart thermostat is approved for the system. If an accessory, interface, or new cable is suggested, ask for the manufacturer's supported configuration and the functions it will retain.

Honeywell Home separately identifies line-voltage and communicating controls (manufacturer-specific controls that exchange information with the equipment) as compatibility issues for its low-voltage thermostats. Matching terminal letters alone does not settle the choice. Honeywell Home control-type distinctions.

An electrical conversion may be more involved than changing a wall control. Ask who will do it, whether it is included in the price, and how the finished heating and protection functions will be checked. A qualified electrical or equipment specialist may be needed outside MGI's confirmed service offering.

Your next step is to send the visible model and voltage information to the appropriate professional and request a written compatibility recommendation. Choose the thermostat after the heating system is identified, so the purchase fits the home rather than forcing the equipment to fit the purchase.
