You just had your air conditioner services not too long ago. It\u2019s in good working order, so what\u2019s the deal? What\u2019s the actual problem with it? As it turns out, it might not be the AC at all\u2013it could be the thermostat that\u2019s causing you so much grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, air conditioning repair in Belle Isle, FL<\/a> ends up being a call for thermostat repair or replacement. If you\u2019re wondering how the little gadget on your wall could be tricking you into thinking your air conditioner isn\u2019t working, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Thermostat is Just a Messenger to Your AC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your thermostat reads the temperature of the room and displays it, but your air conditioner doesn\u2019t see the same information. Instead, it receives a simple \u201cON\u201d or \u201cOFF\u201d request from your thermostat and operates that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the AC kicks on and cools the room until it gets that \u201cOFF\u201d request, which comes in from the thermostat once the target room temperature has been met. So if your thermostat is on the fritz or sending the wrong information, then your air conditioner won\u2019t know what to do. The machine itself and cooling capabilities could be fine, it may just be receiving the wrong information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Thermostat May Just Be Miscalibrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your thermostat doesn\u2019t inherently know how to detect the indoor temperature. It has the tools, but the digital display\/computer has to be programmed to gauge the temperature correctly. Otherwise, you may have a difference in actual room temperature versus what the display reads by one or more degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not sound like a big deal, but changing your air conditioner by a single degree can save you a surprising amount of money on your home cooling costs throughout the course of a year. So if you\u2019re setting it to a temperature that you normally wouldn\u2019t (because it otherwise doesn\u2019t seem to do the job), you end up spending more on utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So How Do You Know if it\u2019s the Thermostat or Not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Look for key signs of air conditioner problems: strange noises that stand out during operation, short cycling, and other common symptoms of AC damage. If none of those are present, your thermostat could be the culprit. Of course, it\u2019s difficult to know that without a technician inspecting things first. That\u2019s where we come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to try one more at-home approach, you can find the instruction manual for your thermostat and try to recalibrate it on your own. If you don\u2019t have access to it, look up the manufacturer\u2019s website and see if they host old manuals in a PDF format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
