Common Thermostat Problems We Repair
If your thermostat is broken or not reading correctly, your home could be hotter or cooler than you expect and it could feel more humid than it should. Some of the most common concerns our professional thermostat repair technicians see are:
- The temperature on the thermostat is higher or lower than expected
- The screen is difficult to read or will not come on
- The heat or AC cycles on and off faster than normal
- The thermostat needs to be adjusted
- Energy bills are higher than normal
How Long Do HVAC Thermostats Last?
As will all other HVAC system components, the average lifespan of a thermostat is about 10 years since they eventually become old and outdated. You may find the need to replace an old non-programmable thermostat with an energy efficient programmable model or even upgrade to a WiFi enabled thermostat.
Signs Your Thermostat May Need to Be Recalibrated
Over time, thermostats may encounter issues that require recalibration to ensure accurate temperature readings and proper functioning. Here are some signs that your thermostat may need to be recalibrated:
- Temperature Inconsistencies: If you notice temperature inconsistencies in different areas of your home, even though the thermostat is set to a specific temperature, it could be a sign that your thermostat is not reading the temperature accurately. For example, if you set your thermostat to 72 degrees, but some rooms feel too hot or too cold, it may indicate that the thermostat is not properly calibrated.
- Constant Cycling of HVAC System: If your HVAC system seems to be constantly turning on and off, it may be due to a thermostat issue. A poorly calibrated thermostat may cause the HVAC system to cycle more frequently than necessary, leading to increased energy consumption and wear and tear on the system.
- Inaccurate Temperature Readings: If you notice that the temperature displayed on your thermostat does not match the actual room temperature, it could be an indication that your thermostat needs recalibration. This may occur if the thermostat's temperature sensor is not functioning correctly or if it has become dirty or covered by dust or debris, affecting its accuracy.
- Difficulty in Setting Temperature: If you find it challenging to set the desired temperature on your thermostat or if the thermostat is not responding to temperature adjustments, it may be a sign of a calibration issue. A thermostat that is not calibrated properly may not respond to changes in temperature settings, making it difficult to achieve the desired comfort level in your home.
- High Energy Bills: If you notice a sudden increase in your energy bills without any changes in your usage patterns, it could be due to a thermostat calibration issue. A poorly calibrated thermostat may cause your HVAC system to work harder than necessary, resulting in increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.
- Age of the Thermostat: Thermostats, like any other electronic device, have a lifespan and may require recalibration as they age. If your thermostat is several years old and has not been recalibrated recently, it may be time to consider having it checked by a professional to ensure its accuracy and proper functioning.
