Signs You Need Thermostat Repair
It’s important to pay close attention to the operation of your HVAC systems. If you detect any of these issues, it’s possible your thermostat requires repairs:
- No power to the thermostat
- HVAC system short-cycling
- Incorrect temperature readings
- Significant temperature swings
- Rising utility bills
- Continuous air conditioner or furnace operation
- Inconsistent indoor temperatures
HVAC system and thermostat issues often overlap, so your HVAC technician will likely need to inspect both to determine whether you need thermostat, heating, or AC repairs.

Thermostat Replacement vs. Repair
Most thermostat issues can be repaired. However, you should consider a thermostat replacement if:
- Your thermostat frequently breaks down.
- Your thermostat needs extensive repairs.
- Your thermostat is outdated, and that model is no longer supported by the manufacturer.
- You want to reap the benefits of modern thermostat technology.
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.
The Coastal Empire and the Lowcountry have hot, humid climates, but we can see below-freezing temperatures in the winter. With South Carolina and Georgia’s inconsistent temperatures, a smart thermostat can keep up with your comfort needs while keeping utility costs down.

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.
