Do I Need to Replace the Thermostat in My Quitman, GA, Home?

Ensuring that every part of your HVAC system is operating correctly is vital before hot weather arrives. The thermostat in your Quitman, GA, home serves as the control center of your HVAC system, dictating the temperature that it strives to achieve. Here are some warning signs that indicate that it may be time to replace your thermostat:

Irregular Cycling

Cycling refers to the pattern in which your HVAC system turns on and off. When you have the temperature on your thermostat set, you should notice a regular pattern of the system turning on and off. However, if you start noticing irregular cycling, whether the system runs too long or not long enough, the cause of the problem may be your thermostat.

Incorrect Thermostat Readings

When the temperature outside is rising, you obviously want to set your thermostat at a cool setting. If you notice that the temperature displayed on your thermostat is what you have it set at but the house seems hotter, there’s something wrong with your thermostat. The temperature sensor in the thermostat may be faulty or there may be dust built up over it.
