Your home’s HVAC system is large and complex. It’s got a heater and an air conditioner. It’s got a thermostat. It’s got ducts to conduct the heated and cooled air throughout your home.

But what if the problem is elsewhere in the HVAC system? How can you tell whether it’s your air conditioner or your ducts having an issue? Here are some clues.

A Faulty Thermostat Needs Professional Attention

Monday, February 21st, 2022

For such small components, thermostats really do provide us with a huge amount of support. When we need to communicate our comfort needs to our HVAC systems, we do it through our thermostat. The numbers represent the temperature, and we set it based on how we feel. Think of your thermostat like the translation device between your large, complex HVAC system and yourself. Without it, your comfort will get lost in translation and your HVAC system could run rampant.

Luckily, thermostats have improved tremendously in the past few decades. Thermostats in Orlando, FL are now smart operating and built with Wi-Fi capabilities. They can sync up to your other smart home devices and be voice-activated, touchscreen-activated, and they’ll even learn about your heating or cooling habits. If your thermostat is showing signs of age, then now might be the perfect time to get professional attention.
