A thermostat is a device that regulates the temperature in a room by controlling the air conditioner's operation. Its main task is maintaining the set temperature and switching the air conditioner between cooling and heating modes. Thermostats are usually installed on the walls of rooms and have temperature indicators, adjustment buttons, and other functions, depending on the model.
Air conditioner thermostats also control fan operation. If the fan does not turn on when the air conditioner is running, this may indicate a broken thermostat. In this case, it is recommended to check the connections and wires associated with the thermostat and ensure they are not damaged or disconnected. If these symptoms are detected, it is necessary to eliminate the thermostat failure. Sometimes, you may need to replace the thermostat with a new one, especially if the unit is old or damaged.
In most cases of malfunction, it is recommended to call a specialist. A specialist will save you time and effort, and often money since incorrect “homemade” repairs will entail new expenses. A Prime Air Solutions expert will check the thermostat, clean or replace the filter, and recharge the system if needed. Contact us today (619) 655-3355 to schedule a service call or request a quote.
