What would life in Orlando be like if we had no way to reliably adjust our homes’ temperature? We would be at the mercy of the scorching summer sun as it turned our living space into an oven. And while our winters are usually mild, the thermometer dips below 40 degrees Fahrenheit every year. Can you imagine freezing to death in Orlando? Oh, the shame !
The nightmare scenarios are only make-believe, of course, thanks in large part to the humble thermostat.
The Brains Behind the Breeze
Your thermostat is the central control unit for your home’s HVAC system. It’s a small computer that constantly monitors the indoor temperature. Think of it like a conductor in an orchestra – it listens to the “instruments” (temperature sensors) and directs the “musicians” (air conditioner, furnace, thermostat) to create a harmonious and comfortable environment.
You simply program your desired temperature on the thermostat. This becomes the target your home aims to achieve. The thermostat has built-in temperature sensors that continuously read the room’s temperature. If the air dips below your setting, the thermostat signals your furnace to wake up and bring on the heat. Conversely, if the room gets too hot, the thermostat tells the air conditioning system to get on the ball and cool things down.
The thermostat keeps monitoring and the heater and AC keep adjusting until the desired temperature is reached. This continuous cycle ensures your home stays comfortable, regardless of the scorching sun or occasional cool fronts.
Living in a hot and humid climate like Orlando makes a reliable thermostat even more crucial. Here’s why:
- Energy efficiency: A properly functioning thermostat ensures your HVAC system shuts off when its mission is complete. An air conditioner that continues to run even when the house is already cool would waste energy and drives up your electricity bills.
- Dynamic comfort: Precise temperature control allows you to personalize your home’s environment. You can adjust the settings to create shade tree-like coolness during the day and a slightly warmer atmosphere for a comfortable sleep at night.
- Humidity management: In Orlando, comfort is as much about the humidity as it is the temperature. A properly set thermostat can lighten the air, forestalling mold and mildew that thrive in our warm, soupy conditions.
Trouble in Thermostat Land?
A busted thermostat can throw your comfort and budget out of whack, so it’s crucial to identify and address thermostat problems with a replacement, rather than risking further issues. Here’s how to know if your thermostat is on the fritz:
- Unpredictable heating and cooling: Damaged or frayed wires disrupt communication with your heating and cooling system, leading to uncontrolled heating cycles and unfulfilled instructions for the units to turn on.
- Inaccurate readings: A thermostat that tells you your home is cool temperature while you’re sweating through your shirt is not only maddening, but also can cause your AC or heater to run unnecessarily.
- Surging energy bills: Spikes in your energy bills may be the result of your thermostat misreading your home’s temperature
- Unrequested activity: If your thermostat has a mind of its own, mysteriously adjusting settings without your input, its internal components are shot, and the unit should be replaced.
- Ignored request: Like a petulant teenager, your thermostat may simply ignore your instructions, no matter how simple. You can meticulously set the desired temperature, but no matter how much you cajole and beg your heating and AC systems refuse to cooperate.
- Short cycling: Rapidly turning on and off in quick succession without completing a full heating or cooling cycle stresses your HVAC system. A faulty thermostat could be the cause.
- Old age: Thermostats shouldn’t be expected to work forever. Their effective lifespan is around 10 years. If your trusty thermostat is approaching double digits and experiencing problems, it’s time to put it out to pasture.
