Find Out What’s Wrong With Your Thermostat

The thermostat is the electronic brain of your AC unit, telling it what the current temperature is so that it can turn on and off at the right times. An inaccurate thermostat can make it much more difficult for you to get the comfort you want from your air conditioner. If you believe your thermostat may be wrong, Certified Service can help you to get it back on track fast.

Understand the Complexities of Your Thermostat

Your thermostat is a complex and sensitive electronic component. It reads temperature data from a sensor located near the unit’s evaporator coils. Air passing through the AC system’s return vents tells the sensor what temperature it is in your home.

The temperature sensor on any AC will lose some sensitivity over time, but this is especially true of older models. Eventually, your unit may become inaccurate. This will cause all kinds of unpredictable behavior and might accelerate wear and tear on the air conditioner. Other internal problems can also cause the thermostat to fail.

Diagnose the Issue With Your Thermostat

Odd behavior from your air conditioning unit can indicate a problem with your thermostat. Your AC could be having difficulty reading the temperature if it turns on at strange times, remains on for long periods, or cycles on and off continuously.

In modern programmable thermostats, problems can arise if the thermostat’s cooling schedules or other options are set incorrectly. Check the owner’s manual for your unit, or you can call our expert AC repair service technicians to resolve the issue.
