Thermostat Replacement Services

Like all appliances, thermostats don’t last forever. Replacing an existing thermostat may seem like a simple task, but it can be complicated in older homes where wires are unlabeled or when transitioning from a standard thermostat to a smart thermostat.

Like all electrical tasks, thermostat services should be completed by a professional.

Common Problems with Thermostats

With thermostats under constant operation, a lot can go wrong. Here are the most common problems with thermostats we see:

  • Thermostat location in your home. While it may feel like the thermostat is working properly, it is just measuring the temperature in a certain area of your home. If your thermostat is positioned too close to an air register, door, or window, it could lead to uneven heating or cooling.
  • Sensors need to be recalibrated. The internal sensors are there to make sure the thermostat gets an accurate temperature reading. Over time, these sensors may change from factory calibration and provide inaccurate readings.
  • Loose wiring from poor installation. If not properly installed, the wiring may loosen over time, causing a variety of issues. This may cause the display on digital thermostats to quit working, leaving you unable to control your HVAC system.
  • Low battery. For thermostats that require batteries, it is important to change the batteries regularly. If batteries run low, it can cause the system to not function properly. We recommend checking the owner’s manual to see how often batteries should be replaced.

Thermostat Installation FAQs

Aire Serv has been helping homeowners enhance the functionality of their HVAC systems since 1992. As an industry leader and a brand that is trusted by homeowners and businesses nationwide for our knowledge and experience, we’re happy to answer your questions. Here are answers to your frequently asked questions about thermostat installation.

Installing a thermostat successfully depends on the complexity of your HVAC system and your comfort level with electrical wiring. Most modern thermostats involve low-voltage wiring, which can be safely managed with some DIY skills. However, when dealing with a more advanced system, like a smart thermostat or one with multi-stage heating and cooling, professional installation is recommended because mistakes during installation could lead to wiring issues, improper functioning, or even damage to your HVAC system.

First, if the temperature shown doesn’t match how the room actually feels, the sensor could be malfunctioning. A blank or flickering display or buttons that don’t respond might indicate battery or internal issues. Another red flag is if your HVAC system won’t turn on or off when you adjust the thermostat, suggesting it’s not communicating correctly with sensors. And if your system frequently cycles on and off, the thermostat might be to blame. Try replacing the batteries, checking for power, and resetting it. If these fixes don’t work, it may be time to replace the thermostat or consult a local HVAC expert.

Yes, it’s typically fine to leave the thermostat on all the time, but using specific settings can help optimize your energy efficiency. Smart thermostats are a real game-changer when it comes to adjusting your home to the ideal temperature based on your routines and preferences. A good rule of thumb is to dial your thermostat back during off-hours, typically during sleep or when you’re away.

A licensed HVAC professional is the best way to ensure proper thermostat installation. A professional will ensure your thermostat is properly connected to your HVAC system by checking compatibility and avoiding potential wiring issues. Professional installation is highly recommended for smart thermostats and complex systems that require specific wiring configurations and proper setup.

Not all thermostats are created equal, so it’s important to choose one that’s compatible with your HVAC system. Some thermostats are designed for specific HVAC configurations, such as heat pumps or dual-fuel systems. Smart thermostats are popular, but many require a C-wire for continuous power, which older homes might not have. To make sure you get a thermostat that works with your system, check your owner’s manual or consult an HVAC professional for guidance.
