Signs Your Thermostat Needs Professional Attention
Just like any component of your HVAC system, your thermostat will eventually experience wear and tear or even operational glitches. When this happens, it may stop accurately communicating with your furnace or air conditioner, leading to discomfort and wasted energy.
If you notice strange behavior, do not ignore it. We can quickly diagnose the issue and perform the necessary repairs or recommend an upgrade if your thermostat is nearing the end of its expected service life.
Reach out to our technicians to schedule a free inspection if you notice any of the following problems with your thermostat:
- Inconsistent temperature readings. If your home feels much warmer or colder than the temperature displayed on the thermostat, the internal sensor has probably failed or requires recalibration.
- HVAC system constantly cycles. Your thermostat should never turn your furnace or air conditioner on and off in rapid succession. This frequent starting and stopping, known as short cycling, strains your equipment and wastes energy.
- Total loss of power or blank screen. If your digital thermostat screen suddenly goes blank or fails to respond, it might indicate a wiring issue, a tripped breaker, or simply dead batteries. If new batteries or resetting the breaker do not fix it, we need to inspect the wiring.
- Programs fail to hold. If you program a set schedule but your thermostat reverts to a default setting or ignores the schedule altogether, you may be dealing with an internal electronic failure.
- System does not respond to changes. There is likely a communication breakdown between your thermostat and your HVAC equipment if your heating or cooling systems fail to react when you manually adjust the temperature.
- Visible damage. Older mechanical thermostats with visible rust, cracks, or discoloration are likely past their prime and should be replaced.

How Can a Programmable Thermostat Save Me Money?
A traditional mechanical thermostat uses a simple bimetallic strip or a mercury switch to sense the room temperature and switch your HVAC system on or off. However, it only maintains one setting until you manually change it.
A programmable thermostat, by contrast, uses electronic sensors to measure temperature with greater accuracy and contains a microprocessor that allows you to schedule multiple temperature settings throughout the day and week. You input your desired settings, and the thermostat executes them automatically. For example, during the winter, you may program warmer temperatures for when you usually wake up, cooler temperatures while you are away at work, and back to comfortable temperatures when you return home.
How Long Does It Take to Install a Programmable Thermostat?
For a standard swap, where your home’s wiring is already compatible with the new programmable thermostat, we can typically complete the entire job in about one hour. The replacement process may take a bit longer if the installation requires additional wiring or modifications to your HVAC system.
This timeline includes safely powering down your system, neatly disconnecting and removing the old thermostat, mounting the new digital base plate, wiring the new unit, and securing the faceplate. Our team at Air Inc. Heating & Air Conditioning can handle everything efficiently so you can get back to your day with minimal interruption.
After we physically install the new unit, we can power the system back up and rigorously test both the heating and cooling cycles to confirm flawless operation. Then, we can walk you through the initial programming, set up your desired daily schedule, and show you how to adjust and utilize all the new features.

With a multi-zone ductless heat pump, you can connect multiple indoor air handlers—often up to eight—to heat and cool different rooms independently.
-
A ductless heat pump works by moving heat, not creating it. In the summer, it pulls heat out of your home to keep you cool. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outdoor air—even when it’s cold—and brings it inside. Each indoor unit controls the temperature of its own room, providing efficient, quiet comfort without ductwork.

You should never have to add refrigerant (Freon) to your central air conditioning system, unless there is a leak in the system.
If your system has a leak, a service technician should never be "topping it off" with refrigerant. The system needs to be leak tested and the leak needs to be repaired.
A refrigerant leak WILL harm the compressor, cause the system to draw more electricity, provide inadequate cooling and/or heating if it is a heat pump.
Many refrigerants are being banned due to the ozone depleting chemicals. That is another reason that ALL refrigerant leaks need to be repaired and not topped off with more refrigerant.
Refrigerant repairs on older central air conditioning systems can get costly, so you may be better off replacing your system.
If you have any questions about your central air conditioning system, contact our office!
