Thermostat Repair

Thermostat Repair Services

Obviously, maintaining your heating and cooling system is an essential part of being a homeowner.

If it stops working properly, it’s much harder to stay comfortable during the warm and cold months of the year. That said, if your thermostat doesn’t work properly, you also lose the ability to keep yourself comfortable, even if the HVAC equipment is technically working.

That’s why you should contact a thermostat repair team at the first sign of a problem. Our experts will identify the cause of the problem, fixing it fast before it causes major problems.

Knowing When Your Thermostat Needs Repair

Obviously, if your heating and cooling equipment doesn’t respond when you try to adjust the thermostat, you have a problem.

However, you might not know the nature of it. Maybe the cause of the problem is faulty HVAC equipment. Maybe your electrical wiring is to blame. Also, if you’re not familiar with the warning signs of a failing thermostat, you may overlook them.

Familiarizing yourself with them makes it easier to schedule repair service before a minor issue becomes a more significant problem.

Specifically, get in touch with a repair technician if you notice any of the following:

Losing Programmed Settings

If you have a programmable thermostat that’s consistently losing settings, refer to the troubleshooting guide in the owner’s manual first.

If the suggestions included in it don’t work, a repair technician may be able to effectively diagnose and fix the problem.

Short Cycling

Sometimes, even if the HVAC system technically responds when you adjust the thermostat, it may not complete the full heating or cooling cycling.

Instead, it shuts off before reaching the desired temperature. This is called short cycling.

Because it could indicate a problem with either the thermostat or the HVAC system itself (or both), you need the help of a trained expert to fix the issue.

Inaccurate Readings

Sometimes the temperature reading on your thermostat won’t match the actual temperature of the room. Once more, this could indicate a problem with either the thermostat or your equipment.

Either way, until the problem’s fixed, the thermostat won’t do you much good.

System Won’t Turn Off

Obviously, if your furnace or air conditioning won’t switch on when you adjust the thermostat, you have a problem.

However, another common issue associated with failing thermostats is a system that won’t turn off. This wastes a lot of energy and could potentially cause your HVAC equipment to break down.
