Maintaining a comfortable home environment starts with a fully functional thermostat. This small device plays a pivotal role in regulating your home’s temperature, ensuring your living spaces remain warm in the winter and cool during the summer.
A thermostat does more than just control heating and cooling systems; it serves as the command center for your home’s HVAC system, optimizing energy usage and enhancing overall comfort. Understanding its importance is the first step in addressing any issues and ensuring your home remains cozy year-round. Below, you’ll find the most common thermostat problems, with expert DIY advice from the team at Reliability Home Services.

A blank thermostat screen is usually a sign of a power issue, but don’t worry; the solution might be simpler than you think. First, try replacing the batteries if your thermostat isn’t hardwired. Next, check the breaker to ensure it’s turned on, as a tripped breaker could cut power to your thermostat. If the power appears to be on, inspect the indoor unit for any signs of water accumulation, which could disrupt its functionality. Following a power outage, removing the thermostat from the wall and reattaching it should effectively restart the device. Remember, it’s common for thermostats to lose their programming after power interruptions, so you may need to re-enter your preferred schedule.

If your thermostat struggles to maintain the set temperature, start by replacing your filter. A clogged filter restricts airflow, triggering safety switches that prevent overheating by shutting down your unit. Ensure that nothing is blocking your vents, including furniture, for proper air circulation. Cleaning the outdoor unit with a hose can remove dirt and debris that hinder performance. Make sure your thermostat is set to the appropriate mode (heating or cooling) for the season. For those participating in the BGE energy savings program, a small leaf icon on your thermostat indicates that BGE is temporarily cycling your power off for energy conservation. Contact BGE for details on when power will be restored.
Troubleshooting your thermostat can prevent minor issues from escalating into major inconveniences. Regularly check your thermostat for any signs of malfunction, such as a blank screen, unresponsive controls, or inaccurate temperature readings.
Ensure your thermostat is correctly calibrated and positioned away from direct sunlight or drafty areas, as these can affect its accuracy. Familiarizing yourself with your thermostat’s settings can also help you make the most of its features, maximizing both comfort and energy efficiency.
If you’ve tried the above steps and your thermostat is still not performing as expected, it’s time to call in the professionals. At Reliability Home Services, we pride ourselves on our quick response times, expert service, and commitment to customer satisfaction.
