Thermostat Services
Your thermostat is the control center for your entire HVAC system. When you set a temperature, it sends a signal to your AC or heater to start running and then monitors your home’s temperature to tell the system when to turn on and off. Your comfort and safety depend on your thermostat’s effectiveness; that’s why scheduling thermostat services with a local, experienced electrical contractor at the right time is critical.

Is it Time for a Thermostat Replacement?
A thermostat issue can disrupt your entire HVAC system. You might need a replacement if you notice:
Inaccurate Temperature Readings
Test the unit’s accuracy by comparing its reading to a portable indoor thermometer. If the thermostat displays an incorrect temperature, its sensor may be malfunctioning. It may also have a wiring or circuit issue. The best option is to replace it.
High Energy Bills
If you’re paying more for utilities, your thermostat may be reporting incorrect temperatures, causing your HVAC system to run longer and use more energy than necessary. Replacing your thermostat can help reduce high energy bills to a manageable level.
Thermostat and/or HVAC System Won’t Turn On
If your thermostat won’t turn on and changing the batteries doesn’t fix the problem, it’s likely time to replace it (along with its wiring). Also, consider replacing the thermostat if your HVAC unit doesn’t respond to settings or if the system turns on and off unexpectedly.
Inconsistent Temperatures
If the thermostat doesn’t maintain its setting, even for a short time after you lower the temperature, have a technician evaluate it. It may be defective, faulty, or nearing the end of its operating life.
