If the thermostat&rsquo;s display is not lit, this is a sign that it is not receiving power and it will not be able to send a signal to your system that it needs to turn on. You can usually resolve this issue by replacing your thermostat with fresh batteries, checking for a blown fuse, or resetting a tripped breaker. Also, check if there is an accumulation of dust and dirt in your thermostat&rsquo;s panels, and wipe it clean with dry cloth. If you notice any loose parts inside the thermostat, ask for the help of a seasoned HVAC expert to tighten loose connections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mismatched temperature<\/strong>: If the temperature indicated on the thermostat does not match the room temperature, your system will not be able to adequately provide cold or warm air. This will make your home uncomfortable to live in and can cause your utility bills to go up. You can typically resolve this issue by replacing your old thermostat with a new one, preferably one that is programmable. Also, check the location of your thermostat and make sure it is not exposed to direct sunlight, a heat source, or cold drafts, which could affect its performance and HVAC efficiency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequent short cycling<\/strong>: Cycling is the process in which an HVAC system turns on and off. Usually, this is the normal way an HVAC unit regulates or maintains the temperature that is set on a thermostat. However, this becomes a cause for concern if your unit frequently short cycles. It will cause wear and tear on your compressor, which is the important part of the cooling system as well as the most expensive part to replace if the equipment breaks down. Short cycling can also affect HVAC efficiency, causing a sudden surge in your electric bills because the unit consumes more power as it is starting up. Short cycling can be caused by a miscalibrated or faulty thermostat. In which case, you need to seek the professional help of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/about-us.html\">HVAC company<\/a> in order to diagnose, troubleshoot, move, or replace the thermostat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_How_You_Can_Improve_HVAC_Efficiency_in_Your_St_Louis_Home\"><\/span>Learn How You Can Improve HVAC Efficiency in Your St. Louis Home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In order to make sure that your thermostat is in great working order and to improve the HVAC efficiency of your St. Louis home, proper HVAC system maintenance is important.
