Why Is My Thermostat Not Working?
Have you noticed your thermostat running excessively or adjusting temperature settings without your knowledge? There could be various reasons your thermostat is malfunctioning or not working at all. Some of those concerns include the following:
Power Source Issue
Your home’s electrical system is the primary power source for your smart or Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat. If you’re experiencing problems with your electricity, you’ll likely also notice function issues with your thermostat.
Thermostat is Dirty
Dirt inside your thermostat might not seem like a big deal until your device goes on the fritz. A dirty thermostat can affect the calibration and cause your thermostat to use more energy than usual. As a result, you may see increases in your utility bill.
Loose Wiring or Screws
A thermostat that turns on and off or runs without stopping could have loose wiring or screws. We don’t recommend tightening connections yourself or attempting to wire your own thermostat, as it may cause more damage. Our technicians use state-of-the-art tools to ensure wires and screws are adequately secured.
It’s Just Old
Age plays a significant role in the operation of your thermostat. Most thermostats last around 10 years. If yours is nearing the decade mark, it’s time to contact our comfort specialists for a thorough inspection and potential repair.
Thermostat Installation & Replacement Services
Repairing your thermostat usually requires minimally invasive techniques and a smaller time frame to get everything operating effectively. Thermostat installation and replacement can be more extensive in terms of time and effort, requiring our specialists to utilize advanced equipment to get the job done correctly.
Reasons You May Need a New Thermostat Include:
Increase in Energy Bills
An old or shoddy thermostat that’s been repaired before is probably on its last leg and requires professional replacement, especially if you see an increase in your energy bills. (We generally recommend a programmable thermostat that can help reduce bills by giving you more precise control over your HVAC system’s use.)
HVAC Unit Keeps Turning Off
How can your home be expected to maintain a suitable temperature if your HVAC unit keeps turning off? The short answer is: it can’t. A new HVAC working at high capacity means that it’s time to install a thermostat that can handle the operation effectively.
Faulty Thermostat Readings
When your thermostat settings say one thing, but the temperature in your home doesn’t match that, something is amiss. We can replace a thermostat giving incorrect readings, so you never have to wonder if the temperature settings are correct.
Outdated and Surpassed Lifespan
A thermostat that is more than 10 years old is probably in desperate need of replacing. We can evaluate your heating and cooling equipment to tell you if it’s past its prime.
Doesn’t Respond to Changed Settings
It’s incredibly frustrating when you change the settings on your thermostat, but your heating and cooling system doesn’t respond accordingly. We can take a look and diagnose the issue, which may mean it’s beyond repair. At that point, we’ll make replacement recommendations and help with the installation process.
HVAC System Short Cycles
When your HVAC system short cycles, that means it cycles erratically, turning on and off frequently. This could be a sign that something is wrong with your HVAC unit or that it’s time for replacing your thermostat. Either way, our technicians will address your concerns and keep you in the loop the entire time.
How Much Does a New Thermostat Cost (With Installation)?
Professional thermostat installation can cost anywhere from $100 to $350, plus the price of a new thermostat (usually $15-$250).
