This vital piece to your home’s HVAC system is one of the keys to ensuring your comfort throughout any season. When it stops functioning, it throws everything off kilter. Fortunately, there are several ways to troubleshoot for a broken thermostat and not all solutions mean high expenditures.

Troubleshooting for a Broken Thermostat
When your HVAC system just does not seem to be running right, it may not be an issue with the furnace or HVAC system itself. It could be as straightforward as a bad thermostat. These are a few things we suggest our customers try in order to address thermostat issues:
- Inspect the switches – Check your thermostat’s switches to ensure they are not loose or broken. If you notice anything off about the switches, you may need to get a new thermostat.
- Inspect the internal mechanisms – Remove your thermostat’s cover and check that there is no debris or dust in the inside. You can use a can of compressed air to remove anything lurking that should not be.
- Replace batteries – A dead battery may be the cause of your thermostat woes. In the event of a weak or depleted battery, an easy replacement should take care of the problem.
If you have checked your thermostat and turned it back on to find the problem is still persisting, it is a good idea to call your HVAC company in so a professional technician can provide a thorough inspection. If it turns out that you have a bad thermostat, we recommend that you get it replaced as soon as possible by a certified professional. This is important because there are complex electrical components that can affect your greater HVAC system.
