Why Install a Smart Thermostat?

Your thermostat has always been the “brain” of your HVAC system, telling the system when to turn on and off based on the conditions inside your home. However, today’s smart thermostats add an advanced degree of “intelligence” to those brains. Smart thermostats use advanced programming and integrated computers to go far beyond being an on/off switch and instead are a critical part of your home’s infrastructure. These smart units have the ability to adjust when they turn on and off based on things like your chosen settings, the season, the weather outside, and even your previous adjustments. Certain “learning” models actually take your operating history into account and adjust themselves so that you don’t have to!

However, going beyond the convenience factor, smart thermostats are also an ally when it comes to saving you money. These systems are often designed with efficiency at the forefront of their programming. That means they are constantly evaluating your indoor climate to figure out how to keep you comfortable while also running your system less. This means less energy consumption and maximized comfort all year long. In fact, a smart thermostat is one of the best dollar-for-dollar home efficiency upgrades you can make in terms of energy savings.

Thermostat Repair & Diagnostics

Do you have an old, damaged, or otherwise malfunctioning thermostat? This might be what is preventing your HVAC system from working properly, and it could be costing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year in wasted energy. At Carew Heating & AC, we offer comprehensive thermostat testing and diagnostics for both analog and digital thermostats alike. By working with all leading manufacturers, we are able to provide trusted service for virtually all major makes and models. We prioritize keeping you comfortable, and that means offering comprehensive calibration, adjustment, and repair when necessary to keep your thermostat and your HVAC system running optimally.

We fix a wide range of issues, including:

• Your HVAC system not turning on
• Your HVAC system not turning off
• Your thermostat showing a strange error code on its display
• Your thermostat’s display being entirely blank or off completely
• Your thermostat struggling to keep a consistent temperature

Check Your Thermostat Battery First!

If your thermostat has shut off entirely, there is one simple thing you can check before calling a professional. If you have an older thermostat or one that relies on an external power source to operate, there’s a chance its battery may have given out. Start by removing the face plate and then the thermostat unit itself from its mounting plate on your wall. 

Inside the thermostat should be either a 9-volt battery or a series of AA batteries. Replace these with a new battery, and the thermostat itself should turn on again entirely on its own before you even reconnect it to the wall. If the display turns on, reconnect the thermostat and try to turn your HVAC system on again. If it still doesn’t turn on or the display remains blank, reach out to our team to schedule service. We’re available same-day, and can even come to you 24/7 for emergencies!
