Signs You Need Thermostat Repair
Your thermostat is the control center of your HVAC system—and when it malfunctions, your comfort and energy efficiency can suffer. Recognizing early warning signs can help prevent more serious and costly system failures.
Common symptoms of a faulty thermostat include:
- No power or an unresponsive display
- Short-cycling of your heating or cooling system
- Incorrect or fluctuating temperature readings
- Sudden spikes in energy bills
- Frequent or continuous system operation
- Uneven or inconsistent temperatures throughout your home
- Unexpected temperature swings
Because thermostat problems often mimic broader HVAC issues, it’s essential to have a licensed HVAC technician inspect both the thermostat and the connected system. At Canady’s Heating, Air & Plumbing, we use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the source of the issue and recommend the most effective repair.
If you’re experiencing any of these problems in your Lowcountry or Coastal Empire home, contact Canady’s today for expert thermostat diagnostics and repair.
When to Replace a Thermostat
While many thermostat issues can be resolved with professional repairs, there are times when a full replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective choice. You may want to consider upgrading your thermostat if:
- It requires frequent repairs – Constant breakdowns may signal deeper issues or aging components.
- It needs costly or extensive repairs – In some cases, replacing the unit may be more economical than continuing to fix it.
- It’s outdated or unsupported – Older thermostat models may no longer be compatible with modern HVAC systems or supported by manufacturers.
- You want the benefits of smart technology – Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can boost energy efficiency, improve comfort, and give you remote control over your home’s climate.
At Canady’s Heating, Air & Plumbing, we offer expert thermostat replacement services in Beaufort, Savannah, and the surrounding areas. We’ll help you choose a reliable, energy-saving model that fits your home and lifestyle.
Types of Thermostats We Install & Replace
There are a few types of thermostats that can govern the operation of your heating and cooling systems:
- Manual thermostats: These traditional thermostats require manual adjustments via knobs or control buttons. This is a low-cost and reliable option.
- Programmable thermostats: Energy-efficient programmable thermostats allow you to program different temperature settings throughout the day. They’re especially convenient for optimizing efficiency when you’re away.
- Wi-Fi thermostats: Wi-Fi or smart thermostats offer superior control and comfort. They operate like programmable thermostats, with the bonus of being controlled from any Wi-Fi-connected device.
Is It Worth Getting a Smart Thermostat?
Canady’s installs Trane and Nest thermostats because these superior products deliver the best temperature control and advanced features. There are plenty of benefits to choosing a smart thermostat for your home:
- Maximized savings: Smart thermostats give you superior control over your energy usage. Month after month, this translates to significant savings on your utility bills.
- Ultimate convenience: Smart thermostats allow you to adjust your temperature from wherever, whenever. This allows you to change the settings if the forecast vastly changes while on vacation, at the office, or anywhere else.
- Enhanced protection: Smart thermostats provide real-time diagnostics, so you can act fast if your HVAC systems are having problems.
- New technology: If you’re investing in an air conditioner or heating replacement, you should also invest in a new smart thermostat. The latest HVAC technology works together to ensure the best results.
- Better air quality: Smart thermostats can monitor your indoor air quality and alert you so you can take action to protect the air your family breathes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do programmable thermostats help you save money?
ENERGY STAR® estimates that homeowners with smart thermostats can save $180 or more per year. This makes them a cost-effective investment that generates real returns alongside other energy-saving efforts.
What's the ideal thermostat setting?
It depends on your preference. However, most people find that 78 degrees Fahrenheit in spring and summer and 68 degrees Fahrenheit in fall and winter is sufficient to keep you comfortable without driving up your utility bills.
What happens if you turn your thermostat off while you're away?
Your HVAC systems won’t operate. More importantly, the temperature in your home will begin to match the temperature outside. During the winter, this can lead to frozen and burst pipes, and during the summer, it can damage furnishings or lead to mold growth from excess humidity.
How do you maintain your thermostat?
Thermostat maintenance is part of standard heating and AC tune-ups. Your HVAC technician will inspect your thermostat and recalibrate the unit if the temperature display is inconsistent.
If you have a battery-operated thermostat, we recommend replacing the batteries annually, ideally when you schedule maintenance, so you don’t forget.
