Signs You Need Professional Thermostat Service
Temperature reading is off: If your home feels much colder or warmer than the temperature you've set, your thermostat may have a calibration issue, placement problem, or sensor failure. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause.
System won't turn on or cycles constantly: A thermostat that won't trigger your system or short-cycles (turning on and off repeatedly) indicates a battery failure, wiring issue, sensitivity problem, or sensor malfunction. In winter, ignoring this can lead to frozen pipes.
Display is blank or unresponsive: No power typically indicates a tripped breaker or blown fuse—sometimes a simple battery replacement solves the issue. But electrical issues require professional diagnosis to prevent equipment damage.
Utility bills are climbing: An inefficient or outdated thermostat drains your energy budget. Modern programmable and smart thermostats save 10-15% on heating and cooling costs through better control and automation.
Your thermostat is old: If you have a manual or mercury-based thermostat, you're missing out on convenience and savings. Smart thermostats let you control your system from your phone and learn your preferences automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my thermostat?
Include checks in your annual spring and fall HVAC tune-ups. We inspect, calibrate, and catch issues before they become emergencies.
What should I do if my AC stops working suddenly?
First, check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker. If everything looks normal and your AC still isn't working, call us for emergency AC repair—we'll diagnose the issue and get your system running again.
Programmable vs. smart thermostat—what's the difference?
Programmable thermostats let you set schedules (lower at night, higher during day). Smart thermostats learn your patterns, adjust automatically, and offer app control. Smart models typically save 10-15% on energy costs.
What if my thermostat fails in winter?
Call immediately—24/7. A non-responsive thermostat in cold weather can cause system failure and frozen pipes. We prioritize emergency calls.
