Common Causes for Thermostat Failure
Your thermostat acts as the command center for your entire HVAC system. If it is working correctly, you should be able to set your preferred temperature and experience immediate results. Within seconds, you will hear the HVAC unit begin operating. Shortly thereafter, you will feel a difference in your indoor climate. If neither of these occurs, there is a problem somewhere. In many instances, the problem could be with your thermostat. Common reasons for thermostat failure include:
- Old Age – Thermostats typically last for many years, but their effectiveness will begin to wane over time. Monitor your aging thermostat closely for signs of diminished results.
- Dirt – If your thermostat is dirty, it will not be able to accurately read the temperature in the room, which means you will not achieve your desired temperature.
- Miscalibration – The internal sensors in your thermostat can become miscalibrated, leading to uneven temperatures throughout your house.
- Display Issues – Your thermostat’s display allows you to easily program your HVAC system. If the display is not working, you will no longer be able to directly input your settings.
