How To Deal With Faulty Thermostats?

March 14, 2022

If your HVAC system is running continuously, the thermostat may be the culprit. A broken or poorly functioning thermostat can fail to communicate the proper temperature settings to your air conditioner, resulting in inefficiency. Check your thermostat's readings against an accurate thermometer. If there’s a discrepancy, recalibration or repair may be necessary.


Common Thermostat Problems Leading to AC Issues:



Calibration Required: A thermostat may need recalibration for accuracy.

Wiring Issues: Loose, corroded, or incorrectly installed wiring can disrupt operation.


Dirt and Damage: Dust buildup can interfere with internal components, causing inaccurate temperature readings.


Improper Placement: A poorly positioned thermostat may not accurately gauge room temperatures.


Incorrect AC Size: A system that's too small or too large for your home can cause inefficiencies.


Airflow Obstructions: Leaky or clogged ducts can prevent the system from reaching the desired temperature.


Solutions to Fix Thermostat and AC Issues:


Recalibrate the Thermostat: Use an accurate thermometer to ensure readings are aligned.

Inspect and Rewire: Ensure all cables are properly attached and free from corrosion or lint.


Clean the Thermostat: Remove dust and debris from internal components.

Upgrade System Size: Consider a ductless system or an appropriately sized AC for larger homes.


Address Duct Issues: Replace air filters regularly and have ducts inspected for leaks or obstructions.
