Signs Your Thermostat Needs Repair or Replacement

Thermostats don’t have a set lifespan. However, you can expect them to last at least a decade. If the temperature in your home doesn’t change when you adjust the thermostat or the display unit is unresponsive, your thermostat may be broken or need a battery change.

Other signs that you may need thermostat repair include:

  • Your heater or AC runs constantly and won’t turn off
  • The room temperature and setting don’t match
  • Changing batteries doesn’t work
  • Fluctuating temperatures throughout your home

Contact Great Day Plumbing & Air for top-notch thermostat repair or replacement services if you notice any of the signs above. We'll send one of our trusted technicians to your home and get your HVAC system working in no time.

Make The Most of a Multi-Zone Thermostat

A multi-zone thermostat allows you to divide your home into various zones and tailor each zone’s temperature according to the occupant’s preferences. In addition to comfort, a multi-zone thermostat allows you to save energy when you’re not unnecessarily heating or cooling your home.

A multi-zone thermostat also:

  • Enhances your comfort
  • Increases your HVAC system’s lifespan
  • Offers convenience

If you’re looking to save money with a multi-zone thermostat, contact us for more information and schedule an installation.

How Does a Programmable Thermostat Work?

A programmable thermostat is a smart thermostat that allows you to adjust your home’s temperature automatically rather than manually. With a programmable thermostat, you can set up a schedule or make adjustments using an app on your phone or computer.

Programmable thermostats have a thermistor that measures temperature using pre-programmed settings that you enter into the HVAC system. Some digital programmable thermostats allow you to adjust settings using a wireless or Wi-Fi connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best new thermostat for most homes is a smart, programmable model that learns household schedules and can be adjusted remotely from a phone, helping balance comfort with energy savings. Compatibility with the existing HVAC system matters most when choosing one. Great Day Plumbing and Air installs and programs smart thermostats for homes in Wilmington, North Carolina.
A smart thermostat is generally worth the investment because it can reduce heating and cooling costs by automatically adjusting temperatures when a home is empty, often saving homeowners a noticeable amount on monthly energy bills. Units typically cost $150 to $300 installed. Great Day Plumbing and Air installs smart thermostats for homes in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Many homeowners can install a basic programmable thermostat themselves in under 30 minutes if they carefully label and match the existing wiring, but systems with heat pumps, zoning, or unusual wiring often need a professional to avoid damaging the HVAC control board. Great Day Plumbing and Air installs thermostats correctly the first time for homes in Wilmington, North Carolina.
A setback is a scheduled temperature change on a thermostat, such as lowering the heat a few degrees at night or while a home is empty during the day, that automatically returns to a comfortable setting before residents need it. Setbacks help reduce energy waste. Great Day Plumbing and Air programs setback schedules for homes across New Hanover County.
The best thermostat to buy is one compatible with the home's specific HVAC equipment, such as a heat pump or multi stage system, since not every smart thermostat works with every setup. Ease of use and remote access are also important factors. Great Day Plumbing and Air matches the right thermostat to each Wilmington, North Carolina home's system.
Programming a modern thermostat is usually straightforward with a touchscreen or smartphone app guiding the setup, though older manual models with small buttons can be confusing at first. Most smart thermostats also offer a learning mode that reduces the need for manual programming. Great Day Plumbing and Air walks homeowners through thermostat setup in Wilmington, North Carolina.
A Nest or similar smart thermostat can take longer than expected to cool a home when the system is undersized, the refrigerant is low, or the thermostat's true radiant temperature setting is causing it to wait for a more even reading before finishing. Great Day Plumbing and Air diagnoses slow cooling issues for homes in Wilmington, North Carolina.
A thermostat that takes a long time to reach the set temperature often points to an underlying HVAC issue, such as a dirty filter, low refrigerant, or a system that is undersized for the home, rather than a problem with the thermostat itself. Great Day Plumbing and Air inspects both the thermostat and system for homes in Wilmington, North Carolina.
