In Texas, we all know how valuable our air conditioning is, but we tend to overlook its most important part—the thermostat. But have you considered upgrading this essential component? A Nest Learning Thermostat may improve your AC system.
Smart thermostats come with many advantages that make this one thermostat installation you’ll be glad you scheduled. Read on to learn when it’s time for a thermostat upgrade and why a smart thermostat may be the best option.
Short-Cycling
Short-cycling occurs when your cooling system fails to complete a full cycle. This will result in the system turning off and on again unexpectedly, making your home uncomfortable and putting a strain on your system.
This malfunction can be prevented with a new thermostat, as your old one may be damaged or dirty beyond repair.
Differing Temperatures
If your home has different temperatures in different rooms, your thermostat may be to blame. It may be sending incorrect signals to your AC, causing one room to feel freezing and the next to feel like a sauna.
This is caused by an uneven distribution of air by the air conditioning in an attempt to respond to the faulty signals the thermostat sends it. A new thermostat can help correct this broken signaling.
Unresponsive to Settings
If your thermostat doesn’t respond when you input a new setting, a replacement is in order. Not hearing a ticking sound or feeling a change in temperatures after inputting a setting may be an indication of a thermostat issue.
Unresponsive thermostats can be frustrating, especially on hot days. This could be due to a number of reasons, but it’s best to plan on a replacement so the issue doesn’t return.
Thermostat Won’t Work
There are a variety of reasons why your thermostat could stop working. Those reasons include:
- Blown fuse
- Loose wiring
- Dirt buildup
- Dead batteries
- Poor placement – direct sunlight or heat can have negative effects on the functionality of a thermostat.
Any one of these issues may cause a thermostat to stop working. This is a sure sign it’s time to look into installing a new one.

A Nest Learning Thermostat can not only be a much-needed upgrade, but it comes with a host of benefits that make it a worthy investment. These smart thermostats can:
- Be controlled remotely
