Is Your Thermostat Due for a Replacement?

 

The thermostat is the “brain” of your home’s HVAC unit. It tells you the temperature in your house, enables you to control your heating and cooling preferences and allows you to schedule adjustments to keep your home comfortable throughout the day. However, there will come a time when you’ll have to replace your unit. As one of the best HVAC maintenance companies, we’re going to share with you some different situations where your thermostat may be due for a replacement.

You Need More Modern Features

Old thermostats can function for years, but it’s not always about how long a device can last. With energy becoming more expensive, it pays to have a thermostat with energy-saving features. Fortunately, most modern thermostats will let you program your HVAC system to change settings according to the time of the day and the schedule of your family.

Your Current One is Inaccurate

Like other home components, the thermostat is also subject to wear and tear. Years of constant use can cause it to become inaccurate, displaying incorrect temperature readings and even shutting down at inopportune moments. Getting the thermostat fixed is an option, but home heating repair companies will tell you that getting a new one is a much better option.

Your Thermostat Doesn’t Control Your HVAC System

Your thermostat is in charge of indicating to your HVAC system what it’s supposed to do. That being said, an old or defective thermostat is at risk of not being properly connected to your HVAC unit. This isn’t only inconvenient, forcing you to make adjustments manually, but it can also cause your unit to use up more energy than necessary to keep your home comfortable. If this happens, switch to a newer thermostat to avoid paying higher energy costs.

Is Your Thermostat to Blame?

There may be some cases where a problem may just seem like it’s caused by a faulty thermostat. For example, if part of your room isn’t heating up properly, the problem might be caused by an obstruction rather than a malfunctioning thermostat. If that’s the case, you need duct cleaning more than a replacement, so call an expert to confirm your suspicions before buying a new thermostat.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!
