Other times, it will take a little bit more troubleshooting. Here are the most common causes of thermostat problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The thermostat is exposed to direct sunlight:<\/strong> A thermostat functions by reading the temperature in a room and using that information to control the heating or cooling system to achieve the right temperature level inside the home. However, if a thermostat is placed in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight, it will provide false readings and can consume a lot of energy by cycling on and off the unit unnecessarily.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The thermostat is placed near a heat source:<\/strong> Another thermostat problem is if the unit is placed near a kitchen or a heat-generating appliance. In this case, it will provide you with an inaccurate reading and can cause fluctuations that might hurt your HVAC system in the long run.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The thermostat is not in a central location:<\/strong> If one side of the house is cooler or hotter than the rest, this could be triggered by the location of your thermostat. If hot and cold spots are a common occurrence, place the thermostat in a central location to ensure an even temperature distribution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The thermostat has not been cleaned:<\/strong> Aside from your air conditioner unit, your thermostat also needs to be cleaned and maintained as well to prevent thermostat problems. Over time, the thermostat can accumulate dust, which will then lead to inaccurate temperature readings. Cleaning your thermostat is very easy; simply remove the housing and give it a wipe down from time to time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The thermostat needs to be replaced<\/strong>: If you have had the same thermostat for many years, you may need to upgrade to a new one. This is especially true if you are using a mercury thermostat, as replacing it with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/programmable-thermostat-benefits\/\">programmable thermostat<\/a> provides you with greater comfort and allows you to save money in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us_for_Help_with_Your_Thermostat_Problems_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Contact Us for Help with Your Thermostat Problems in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are having problems with your thermostat in your St. Louis area home or business, please do not hesitate to call Galmiche &amp; Sons today.
