One humid morning in the middle of the summer, I noticed that my thermostat was not displaying the proper temperature in my house.
- I knew this because I have a thermometer next to my AC and they were reading wildly different temperatures.
I did not want to have to deal with the HVAC technician coming out to the house on a weekend, and I was worried about what the cost of that might be. I called the HVAC company as soon as I could. My HVAC technician was able to talk through re-booting the HVAC system so that the thermostat would display the proper temperature at all times. Re-botting the HVAC system worked for a little while, but by the end of the week, I was back to the same issue. My HVAC technician said this might happen. I didn’t want to bother them again, because the issue was not preventing my house from heating or cooling properly. I knew that they were busy with other jobs that needed more immediate assistance. I told my HVAC technician that I would be willing to wait for a while and see what happened once the weather cooled down. He told me that was probably not the best idea, and to go ahead and make an appointment for one of their HVAC professionals to make a trip over. The thermostat needed to be replaced. This was a quick repair and now I don’t have to deal with the HVAC company anymore.
