Your thermostat’s job is to control and coordinate the behavior of your HVAC system to ensure that everything operates efficiently and at the proper time. Without this critical function, you may find it difficult, if not impossible, to stay comfortable in your Vero Beach, FL home. Here are a few reasons your thermostat may stop working and have a blank screen.
Dead Batteries
Before anything else, find out whether your thermostat’s batteries still work. Remove the old batteries, replace them with new ones and check whether the display screen appears again on your thermostat. If it does, then you’ve solved your problem; otherwise, you’ll have to look further for a solution.
Damaged Electrical Wiring
One deeper reason for your thermostat’s screen going blank may have to do with your electrical wiring. Since these wires supply power to your thermostat, the device will not function if they have any kind of damage. It’s essential to have trained technicians investigate this problem and take whatever actions are appropriate to resolve it.
A Tripped Circuit Breaker
The reason for your trouble might not lie with your thermostat at all. A circuit breaker is a safety device that will shut down all electrically powered devices in your home, including your thermostat, whenever too much power flows through your electrical wires.
Many things may inadvertently activate your circuit breaker, including an old HVAC system, a malfunctioning compressor, a low level of airflow through your system and the excessive age of the breaker itself. Resolving these issues may require a level of professional intervention that ranges from maintenance services to a total replacement of either your breaker or HVAC system.
Without a working thermostat, you cannot enjoy the full benefits of your HVAC system. For help with any issues relating to this important device, call All Quality Heating and Cooling to get the best AC and heating repair services around Vero Beach, FL.
