It’s rare but it happens. One day you’re HVAC system starts working intermittently, or it just quits working all together. Your blower motor might start running when the system is turned off or not come on one time and then work perfectly the next. These are symptoms of a bad thermostat or a short in the thermostat wiring.
Complicated and Costly
The reason I bring up this topic is because today I ran into this very problem. Diagnosing the problem when fairly quick, but the repair was a head scratcher. The reason this repair was so difficult was because the thermostat was located on the second floor and the furnace was in the basement. This meant I would have to run a new thermostat wire through ceilings and floors in order to get to the furnace. This would require cutting access holes and after a lengthy discussion with the homeowner about these facts, he decided to go with the easiest and cheapest option of installing a wireless thermostat.
Cheap and Convenient
This was the first time I was given the opportunity to install the latest generation of wireless thermostats. I have to admit it was a quick and a perfect solution to the problem at hand. I was so impressed with the outcome I had to tell someone like you. Chances are you will never need to spend the extra money to have one of these marvels of technology installed, but if you do, here are the facts. First, it’s easy for a tech like me to install. Second, it is a quick permanent repair. Third, the manufacturer guarantees their product for FIVE years. You can’t beat that deal with a stick. (Well you could but I think that would void the warranty) The point I’m trying to get across is the newest generation of wireless thermostats will save you time, money and aggravation.
