Thermostat Repair
Whenever possible, our teams will work to repair your existing thermostat. While thermostats that are very old or inappropriate for your space should be replaced, it is possible that thermostats that are misfiring or broken may be adjusted to better heat and cool your home.
Thermostat Replacement
Thermostat replacement is necessary for broken thermostats, but also popular among homeowners looking to increase the comfort and energy efficiency of their home. New thermostat technologies (smart thermostats) allow for greater control, programming, and dynamic heating and cooling controls.
Common Problems with Thermostats
At Aire Serv, we have seen it all when it comes to repairing thermostats, but some issues are more common than others. Here are the most common problems with thermostats that we repair:
- Low or dead batteries. When batteries are low, it can cause your heating and cooling system to not function properly. We recommend replacing the batteries routinely. Check your owner’s manual to see how often batteries should be replaced or let the professionals at Aire Serv handle it for you.
- Thermostat location. Where your thermostat is located is important for even heating and cooling in your home. The thermostat may measure the temperature in one area of the home, but not the rest. Having your thermostat installed by an expert is important to ensure it is in the correct location for proper heating and cooling.
- Sensors need to be recalibrated. The internal sensors are there to make sure the thermostat gets an accurate temperature reading. Over time, these sensors may change from factory calibration—providing inaccurate readings.
- Loose wires. If a thermostat has not been installed properly, the wiring may be loose, causing a variety of issues. This may also affect the display on digital thermostats, causing them to not work properly and leaving you unable to adjust the temperature in your home.
