You need your thermostat to work effectively and efficiently to stay comfortable and save money. If you’re still using a manual thermostat to control your HVAC system in Palm City, FL, it’s time to upgrade. Learn about some other telltale signs that you might need a new HVAC thermostat.
Wrong Temperature Readings
To keep your home at the temperature you want, your thermostat must correctly register the existing temperature. Schedule an inspection if you suspect your thermostat isn’t reading the temperature accurately or your HVAC system has an issue that won’t allow your home to achieve it.
Your Energy Bill Spikes
Every year, your energy bill during any given month should be roughly the same as it was during that month in previous years. Of course, there will be some slight variation, but any marked rise in your bill could be a sign there’s something wrong with your thermostat. One of our professional service technicians can tell you if your HVAC thermostat needs replacing.
Your HVAC System Turns On and Off Intermittently
A thermostat that intermittently turns on and off could have a loose or broken internal wire. Or you might need to replace the batteries inside your thermostat if they’re old. One of our service technicians can look at your thermostat and fix or replace it.
Your HVAC System Short Cycles
A bad thermostat can cause your system to short cycle, causing your system to be inefficient in heating and cooling your home. A service technician can check your thermostat and replace it if necessary.
Your HVAC System Doesn’t Turn On
