The thermostat is arguably the most important component of your home heating and cooling system. It gives you the control to regulate the heating and cooling conditions in your home by allowing you to set a temperature that meets your comfort needs. The thermostat switches the other HVAC components on or off as required so the desired temperature is maintained inside your home. Your HVAC system’s thermostat will not last forever, though. So, when should you replace yours?
An efficient home HVAC system can keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. For your HVAC to run effectively and efficiently, the thermostat must function properly. It is time to replace your thermostat if you find it has become faulty. Read on to learn some telltale signs that it’s time to replace your thermostat.
First of all, consider the age of your HVAC system thermostat. Most thermostats last no longer than approximately 10 years. After that, it is time to replace it. An old, outdated thermostat is inaccurate when compared to a newer thermostat, so replacing it is important for maintaining the temperature you want inside your home. On top of that, it will save you money in the long run because a properly functioning thermostat means more effective and efficient HVAC use.
Another reason to think about replacing your thermostat is if your HVAC system begins to switch on or off without input from you. This could mean that your system has stopped receiving prompts from the thermostat. In such a case, it is possible that the thermostat has faulty wiring. A professional HVAC service technician will be able to diagnose this type of problem and help you decide on a replacement that will meet your needs.
If you discover that your thermostat is giving inaccurate readings, it could be time to replace it. When the thermostat registers incorrect temperatures, it could mean it has a faulty sensor. If you suspect this is a problem with your HVAC system, check the temperature by taking a reading with a portable indoor thermometer to confirm the problem. Then call a professional HVAC company to inspect the sensor and make an educated recommendation for thermostat replacement.
You might also choose to replace your thermostat if it is installed in an inappropriate location in your home. If the thermostat is not located in a central location, it could give inaccurate temperature readings. This could cause the HVAC system to overwork, resulting in inefficiencies and higher monthly utility costs. If you have to move the thermostat because of its poor location, it might be a good time to upgrade it as well.
Be on the lookout for city rebates for upgrading your thermostat, too! On top of being more effective and efficient, replacing your thermostat can yield savings from your utility company. Check with the company to find out if they have a rebate program, so you can reap the benefits.
