Your thermostat is essential to achieving optimal comfort and the desired temperature at home. If you’ve noticed that it’s been difficult to regulate temperatures in your house, you may need to reset your thermostat. How you reset this component depends on whether you have a programmable or digital thermostat.
Here one of the area’s leading air conditioning companies shares how to reset a digital thermostat and when it’s necessary to do so.
Using a paper clip. Does your thermostat have a recessed reset button? If it does, all you need to do is to press it in with a paperclip and hold it in for at least five seconds before letting go.
Backflip the batteries. Remove the thermostat’s batteries and install them backward. Wait for about five seconds, then put them back in their original position.
Turn off its circuit breaker. If the two previous options didn’t work, what you can do is turn off your thermostat, find your circuit breaker box and locate the breaker for the HVAC system. Once found, flip the switch off and wait 30 seconds before turning it back on. Then set your thermostat to “heat” or “cool” and adjust the temperature settings. If it’s still difficult to regulate your home’s temperature, it may be a good idea to contact a local technician.
