Expert Insights

Pro Tips: Thermostat Problems

Pro-level knowledge our network technicians use to diagnose and resolve this problem faster.

1

Test the Reversing Valve

On heat pumps, a stuck reversing valve prevents switching between heating and cooling. If your system only works in one mode, this is the likely cause.

2

Check Zone Dampers

If certain rooms are always too hot or cold, a stuck zone damper or failed control board is likely. A zoning specialist can diagnose it quickly.

3

Open All Vents and Returns

Closed supply or return vents increase system static pressure, overwork the blower, and reduce efficiency significantly. Ensure all are fully open.
