Troubleshooting your Home's Thermostat

There are many reasons why your home's thermostat might not be working! Below we list 5 of the most common causes of thermostat issues. We recommend calling a licensed HVAC service provider to trouble shoot your issues.
- Dead batteries: If the batteries in a digital thermostat are dead or low, the air conditioning system may not respond to the thermostat's commands. Replacing the batteries can resolve this issue.
- Wiring problems: If the wiring between the thermostat and the air conditioning unit is damaged or disconnected, the thermostat may not work properly. A professional air conditioning technician can inspect and repair the wiring.
- Dust buildup: Dust and debris buildup on the thermostat can interfere with its ability to accurately sense temperature changes, affecting the performance of the air conditioning system. Cleaning the thermostat regularly can help prevent this issue.
- HVAC System problems: If the air conditioning unit is not functioning properly, the thermostat may not work as intended. Issues such as a clogged air filter, frozen evaporator coils, or a malfunctioning fan can cause the air conditioning system to shut down, affecting the thermostat.
- Compatibility issues: If the thermostat is not compatible with the air conditioning system, it may not work correctly. It is important to check compatibility before installing a new thermostat and to have it installed by a professional air conditioning technician.
If you are experiencing issues with your home thermostat and air conditioning system, it is best to have it inspected and repaired by a professional air conditioning technician from SBS-NC, LLC.
