Decide On A Programming Option
If you choose to go with a programmable thermostat, you then need to choose your ideal programming settings. Depending on your schedule, you can choose between 7-day, 5-1-1, 5-2, and 1 week temperature control.
Common Thermostat Problems
Your thermostat acts as the brain of your HVAC system. When this component fails, it can cause your other appliances to fail also.
Luckily, Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists can help you avoid this dreaded issue with our HVAC maintenance and repair services. Whether your thermostat is malfunctioning due to old age or faulty wiring, our professional HVAC contractors can restore the quality of your thermostat, leaving you with cool and refreshing air all year long.
Short-Cycling
Short-cycling refers to when an air conditioner or furnace turns on before quickly shutting off. This can lead to a household that is never as warm or cool as you would like it to be.
At Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists, our HVAC technicians can thoroughly evaluate your HVAC system to determine if your thermostat is the cause of your short-cycling. It is possible that your thermostat is receiving an inaccurate temperature reading of your home.
Programmed Temperatures Are Deleted
Programmable thermostats are meant to provide improved convenience and comfort. If you constantly have to enter your desired temperature settings into your programmable thermostat, it might need to be replaced.
The Screen Display Doesn’t Respond
Some thermostats may have a touchscreen or possess compatibility with different smartphone apps. While these new capabilities offer greater control over the regulation of your home’s temperature, it can also increase your thermostat’s susceptibility to software problems. If your thermostat’s interface is dark or won’t respond to prompts, it may require a software update.
