Signs Your Thermostat Needs Repair or Replacement
When the Brain Fails
Signs your thermostat needs repair or replacement include a blank screen, a temperature reading that doesn't match the room, an AC or heat that won't turn on or off, short cycling and a heat pump stuck on AUX.
| Sign | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Blank screen | Dead batteries, tripped float switch, blown fuse or failed thermostat |
| Wrong temperature reading | Bad sensor or poor location |
| System won't turn on | Wiring, thermostat or control board |
| System won't shut off | Stuck relay or wiring short |
| Short cycling | Thermostat near a vent or sun, or settings |
| AUX heat on often | Setup, wiring or heat pump problem |
Why Is My Thermostat Blank?
A blank thermostat isn't always a bad thermostat. Check these first.
- Replace the batteries if it uses them.
- Check the breaker for the air handler or furnace.
- Check for water in the drain pan; a tripped float switch can cut power to the thermostat.
- Call us if it's still blank.

Heat Pump Thermostat Setup That Lowers Your Bill
Keep Strips Off
Heat pump thermostat setup makes a big difference in the Lowcountry. The right settings keep your heat pump doing the work and your expensive heat strips off on mild days.
- O/B wiring set right so the reversing valve switches correctly.
- Aux heat lockout so strips stay off on mild days.
- Staging so the heat pump runs before the strips.
- Small setbacks so mornings don't trigger strips.
- Humidity settings on thermostats that support them.
Keep Strips Off Written prices, $50 off any repair and free second opinions.
Where Should a Thermostat Be Placed?
Away From Sun and Vents
A thermostat should be on an interior wall, about 5 feet up, away from sunlight, supply vents, kitchens and drafty doors. A bad spot makes it read the wrong temperature.
| Bad Spot | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Near a sunny window | Reads hot, AC runs too much |
| Above a supply vent | Short cycles |
| In the kitchen | Reads hot from cooking |
| Near an exterior door | Swings with drafts |

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermostats
Quick Answers
Do Smart Thermostats Work With Heat Pumps?
Yes, when wired and set up correctly for heat pump staging and aux heat.
What Is a C-Wire?
A C-wire is a common wire that gives a smart thermostat steady power. If you don't have one, we can add one or use an adapter.
How Long Do Thermostats Last?
Often 10 years or more, though older ones lose accuracy.
Can a Bad Thermostat Raise My Bill?
Yes, especially on heat pumps where it controls the heat strips.
Should I Install a Smart Thermostat Myself?
You can, but heat pump wiring is easy to get wrong. A wrong O/B setting heats when you want cooling.
Do You Work on All Thermostat Brands?
Yes.
