What Are Common Thermostat Problems That Cause It Not To Work?

Common reasons a thermostat won’t work include no power, incorrect mode or schedule, failed sensors, or loose/shorted low-voltage wiring. A tripped breaker, dead batteries, or a blown furnace fuse can cut power to the thermostat. Poor placement near sunlight or vents can cause false readings. Older thermostats may be incompatible with new HVAC controls. In Phoenix and Scottsdale, we troubleshoot, explain options, and can apply our $89 HVAC Repair Diagnostic + Next Day Guarantee, with the diagnostic charge waived with service.
