How a Faulty Thermostat Affects Your Heating System

A thermostat is a device that regulates the temperature of your home by controlling the flow of heat from your Amber HVAC system. Typically, it is located near the furnace or air conditioner and uses a sensor to monitor the temperature of the air in your home. Your thermostat is an important part of your heating system. If it is not working properly, it can cause several problems.

What Happens When You Have a Malfunctioning Thermostat?

A thermostat works by sensing the temperature of the air in your home. It then turns the furnace or Amber AC on or off to maintain the desired temperature. If the thermostat is not working, it can cause your heating system to turn on and off too frequently, which wastes energy and money.

Signs That Your Thermostat is Failing

Not sure if your thermostat is malfunctioning?  Watch out for the following signs:

• Your heating system is not working properly
• The temperature in your home is not comfortable
• Your energy bills are higher than usual

If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional for help.

How to Protect Your Heating System From a Bad Thermostat

Can You Fix a Malfunctioning Thermostat Yourself?
