Causes of Thermostat Failure
Thermostats may need repairs for a number of reasons, including:
- A power or electrical issue. Most thermostats hook into the electricity in your home, though many also have a battery backup. Incorrect wiring leaves the thermostat unable to communicate with your HVAC system correctly. If there’s an issue with the wiring (either in your wall or in the device itself), that’s a job for a professional electrician. Try replacing the batteries first to see if it fixes the problem.
- Dust or dirt in the thermostat. If dust or dirt gets inside the thermostat casing, it can cover the sensors, causing them to read your home’s temperature incorrectly. If your thermostat thinks your home is at a different temperature than it is, it will turn the HVAC on or off at the incorrect times.
- Loose internal parts. Wires and screws inside the thermostat may come loose with use, especially with Houston’s long cooling season putting strain on the system. Our technicians can repair these loose connections without damage to your thermostat.
- Age of the thermostat. Like every other part of your HVAC system, thermostats have a limited lifespan. If your thermostat is older than ten years, it’s time to replace it.

Houston Thermostat Installation and Repair FAQs
How do I know if my thermostat is bad?
You’ll notice a malfunctioning thermostat as it affects the heating and cooling of your home. Signs of a bad thermostat include:
- Your HVAC won’t turn on or won’t turn off when it should.
- Your HVAC short-cycles, or turns on and off frequently.
- Uneven heating and cooling throughout your home.
- The temperature inside your home doesn’t match the setting on the thermostat.
- A digital thermostat is resetting itself to different program settings.
- Your digital programs don’t run as they’re scheduled to.
- Energy bills increase unexpectedly.
How do I know what temperature to set the thermostat in summer?
The Public Utility Commission of Texas’ tips for thermostat settings in Houston recommend setting your thermostat to 78 degrees in the summer to save money. However, you can lower the temperature in your home to meet your comfort level. If you have an infant or very young child at home, you may want to set your Houston thermostat settings closer to 70-72 degrees, especially if they show signs of being too hot.
How long does it take to change a thermostat?
A standard Houston thermostat replacement takes about one hour or less to complete, as long as the thermostat is the only thing being worked on. If you’re having an air conditioner, heat pump, or furnace replaced at the same time, it will be completed as part of the larger job.
