How to Replace a Thermostat
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning account for a significant portion of a building's total energy consumption – 40% to be precise. No surprise there.
It’s probably the system the house makes use of the most. Always on, with the constant reassuring hum in the background that assures you of clean, comfortable air, either warm or cool as the case may be.
A HVAC consists of several components. There’s the heater, the ventilator, the AC unit, as well as other minor components.
Let's talk about the thermostat today, signs you need a new one, and how to replace a thermostat. (Hint: you should hire an HVAC service like Triad, it’s complicated).

Signs that your thermostat needs a replacement
- A blocked sensor or defective wiring in your thermostat could result in your heater or AC not starting.

- A defective thermostat could result in different temperatures in each room.
For all these scenarios and any other issues you may have with your thermostat, your best bet is to call a professional for a replacement.
