Having Trouble Controlling Your Home’s Temperature? It Could Be Your Thermostat

Thermostats are prone to a number of issues. An issue with the wiring or electricity can prevent them from functioning correctly. Even too much dust can prevent the sensors from properly gauging the temperature in the room. 

No matter the issue, a problem can prevent the thermostat from sending the right heating and cooling signals. To get it working again, you’ll need a thermostat repair. 

Texas Pride AC & Heating will examine your thermostat to determine what is wrong. Then, we’ll proceed with the correct measures. 

Signs You Need To Repair Your Thermostat

A few signs that you need a thermostat repair include:

• Incorrect home temperatures: There is a problem if you set the thermostat for one temperature only to find that the room never reaches that temperature.  
• The HVAC won’t turn on: If you turn your HVAC system on via your thermostat, it should respond accordingly. If it doesn’t, there is an issue preventing it from doing so.  
• Frequent cycling: Sometimes, a broken thermostat will cause the HVAC system to cycle on and off again. When this happens, repairs are necessary to get it working again. 

Is It Time for a New Thermostat? Let Us Handle the Replacement

In some cases, a thermostat has too much damage for repairs to fix. In others, a homeowner will want to upgrade to a better one. In either case, thermostat replacement and installation are necessary. 

Texas Pride AC & Heating can remove your current thermostat and replace it with a new one. We’ll work with you to pick out a new thermostat that suits your needs. 

Types of Thermostats

There are two main types of thermostats: 

• Low voltage thermostats: These control the main HVAC source instead of individual heaters.
• Line-voltage thermostat: These thermostats control electric-based heaters.

From here, there are three additional categories that can apply to low and line-voltage thermostats. 

• Analog: These are thermostats that you physically set. They will usually have a dial you can adjust. 
• Digital: These accomplish the same purpose as analog thermostats but do so in a digital format. They are often programmable. 
• Smart/Wi-Fi thermostats: A Wi-Fi thermostat is like a digital thermostat that you can adjust with an app or via a website. Smart thermostats are similar but can also “learn” to make automatic adjustments as they function. 

Benefits of Replacing Your Thermostat

Replacing your thermostat can make it easier to keep your home comfortable. Benefits include:

• Less frequent repairs 
• Greater efficiency
• Longer HVAC system lifespan
• A chance to upgrade to a more powerful thermostat

When Should You Replace Your Thermostat?

You may need to replace your thermostat if any of the following are true: 

• Your energy bills went up: Getting a new thermostat, especially a smart thermostat, can provide you with energy savings. 
• The thermostat isn’t reading the right temperature: You want your thermostat to be accurate. If your current thermostat isn’t, you should consider replacing it. 
• The thermostat is not working: If the thermostat doesn’t work and there is no way to fix it, replacing it is the only real option.
• You want to upgrade: If you’re interested in getting a smart or Wi-Fi thermostat, you can upgrade at any time.

FAQs

Can I Replace My Thermostat With Any Thermostat?

No, you can’t replace your thermostat with just any thermostat. You need to make sure your new thermostat is compatible with your HVAC system.

How Long Does a Thermostat Last?

A thermostat usually lasts about ten years. However, many people replace non-programmable thermostats earlier in favor of programmable ones.

How Do I Know If I Need a New Thermostat?

Some signs that you need a new thermostat are if your HVAC doesn’t keep the right temperature, it doesn’t respond to changed settings, and you have faulty thermostat readings. Your HVAC technician can also check if there are any wiring or connection issues.
