Thermostat Repair & Installation

With average nighttime winter lows dipping into the mid-teens to the 20s, it’s important to make sure that your thermostat works properly for a comfortable space. If you live in the Denver area, the experienced team at Horizon Services provides a range of services for traditional, programmable, and smart thermostats. Whether you require new thermostat installation, repairs on an existing unit, or want to upgrade with a replacement, we’re available to help.

Take Better Control of Your Home Comfort

The thermostat is the “brains” of your HVAC system, letting you control the temperature inside your Denver-area home during our cold winters and dry, warm summers. If your thermostat is not working and you can’t adjust the temperature, or if your HVAC system won’t turn on at all, you may need professional thermostat services to fix the issue. Whether you choose to repair your thermostat or upgrade to a more modern option, Horizon Services helps you take better control of your home comfort.

Signs Your Thermostat Needs Repair

Look for these signs that may indicate you need to schedule thermostat repair near you:

Blank screen: If the thermostat’s screen flickers, goes dark, or won’t respond to commands, we recommend professional troubleshooting and HVAC thermostat repair.

Wrong temperature: If the screen shows one temperature but your home feels much hotter or colder than what’s displayed, you may need to repair or relocate your thermostat so it’s not near a vent or in direct sunlight.

Your HVAC keeps running or won’t turn on: If the air conditioner or heater runs nonstop and won’t shut off, or if it won’t turn on at all, it could be because the thermostat is failing to send the right signals to your equipment, the batteries are dead, or there’s a bad electrical connection.

System short-cycling: When your HVAC system keeps turning on and off before reaching the pre-set temperature, you may need professional thermostat repair.

Thermostat Repair

A thermostat that stops responding could require repairs to restore heating or cooling service to your home. Other issues, like sudden temperature changes or inaccurate temperature readings, may also signal a need for repairs. A malfunctioning thermostat can make your AC or heating system run longer than usual, putting extra strain on your equipment and raising your energy bills. The experienced team at Horizon Services will troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair your HVAC thermostat to prevent these issues and restore comfort to your home.

Thermostat Installation & Replacement

Horizon Services provides new thermostat installation near you and expert thermostat replacement services for existing units. If your HVAC system has complex wiring, you have a high-voltage system, or you need a new smart thermostat that requires a C-wire, we recommend hiring Horizon Services’ experienced thermostat installers for safe, quality installation.

Here’s when to consider scheduling a home thermostat replacement:

Your current thermostat is 10 to 15 years old or older and is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Denver-area homeowners upgrading their HVAC equipment should also replace their thermostat at the same time.

If your thermostat fails to respond to commands or shows a blank screen after you replace the batteries.

If the thermostat shows a temperature variance of more than two or three degrees from what you set, consider upgrading.

A thermostat that keeps losing power may be outdated or have loose or damaged wiring.

Programmable vs. Smart Thermostats

You may think a programmable and smart thermostat installation is the same, but there are significant differences between the two. A programmable thermostat follows a fixed schedule you set manually using the device’s physical buttons. A smart thermostat connects to Wi-Fi and allows you to adjust and monitor the temperature remotely through an app, your web browser, or a smart home device.

You can replace a traditional thermostat with a smart model for most standard HVAC systems. Installing a smart thermostat and setting an automated schedule may help to improve energy efficiency, lower your monthly energy bills, reduce excess wear on your HVAC equipment, and give you more control over your home comfort system’s operations.

Can Your Thermostat Affect HVAC Performance?

Your thermostat directly affects HVAC performance because it’s the control center that tells your home heating and cooling system when and how to run. If the thermostat is faulty, it can wear out your equipment and raise energy bills. Improper placement can trick the thermostat sensor into thinking that the house is colder or hotter than it is. Issues like bad wiring or faulty sensors can keep your HVAC system from getting the signals it needs to turn off, keeping everything constantly running and lowering efficiency and performance.

Choosing the Right Thermostat for Your HVAC System

Choose the right thermostat based on your home’s HVAC system type. If you have a multi-stage system, you’ll need a more advanced thermostat, and some brands require you to match your new thermostat to their specific equipment make or model. A traditional programmable thermostat uses just two wires, while smart thermostats typically require a C-wire, or common wire, to receive continuous power. The skilled professionals at Horizon Services can help you choose the right thermostat for your HVAC system.
