If you’re currently having trouble with your thermostat not reaching the set temperature, you should understand that there could be more than one cause. We delve into each possibility in this post.


Changes to the setting


Any home furnace repair expert will tell you that this is the most common issue, one which can be corrected without having to call an HVAC technician. What you can do is some troubleshooting to make sure the temperature and fan settings are set correctly. You should also consider putting the thermostat in a spot where children don’t have casual access to it.


Wi-Fi connection issues


It’s inevitable for Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats to lose connection suddenly. When this occurs, your unit may not respond to remote commands. You can try resetting your thermostat first, then restart your router if this doesn’t work. To do this, you must unplug the power adaptor of your modem, then wait at least 10 seconds before plugging it back in. When the lights on the router come back on, try reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network.


Batteries


While thermostats will work with a battery with a low charge, they could work erratically and may completely stop responding. Furnace replacement companies suggest replacing your thermostat batteries annually. 


Location of the thermostat


If your home is heated and cooled by a single unit, make certain that the thermostat is in the exact center of the house. This helps ensure that the thermostat reading stays as close to a household average as possible. It’s worth noting that only a reliable professional HVAC technician can calculate the thermostat location relative to your home’s floor plan.
