What You Can Expect with Aire Serv of Columbia, MO
A thermostat is the heart of an HVAC, connected directly to your commercial heater, commercial AC, and other HVAC systems. When your workplace thermostat malfunctions, it can lead to many errors with your heating or cooling systems. A thermostat repair appointment with Aire Serv involves several steps to diagnose and fix issues with the thermostat to ensure everything is quickly back to working in tip-top shape.
Initial Assessment: When we arrive, we will begin the appointment by inspecting the thermostat and the HVAC system to diagnose the issue. We will need to know about any specific problems or symptoms that have been noticed with the thermostat.
Repair or Replacement: Depending on the diagnosis, our service professionals will either repair the thermostat if possible or recommend replacing it if it’s beyond repair or outdated.
- Testing: Once fixed, we will test the thermostat to make sure it’s properly communicating with the HVAC system and accurately controlling the temperature.
Calibration: In some cases, especially with digital thermostats, calibration might be necessary to ensure accurate temperature readings and efficient operation.
- Documentation: We will provide documentation of the work performed, including any warranties on parts or services, for your files.
Throughout the appointment, we are always available to answer any questions you have about the thermostat or HVAC system.
Common Thermostat Problems
Several common thermostat problems can occur, leading to issues with temperature control and HVAC system operation. Here are some of the most frequent ones:
Incorrect
Temperature
This can lead to the HVAC system not turning on or off at the appropriate times, causing discomfort or energy inefficiency.
Lack of
Power
Issues with electrical connections or dead batteries can prevent the thermostat from functioning properly.
Wiring
Problems
Faulty or loose wiring connections can disrupt communication between the thermostat and the HVAC system, leading to erratic behavior or complete failure.
Calibration
Issues
Thermostats need to be calibrated periodically to ensure they accurately reflect the actual temperature in the building. Incorrect calibration can cause heating or cooling systems to run excessively or inadequately.
Compatibility
Issues
If the thermostat is replaced or upgraded without considering compatibility with the HVAC system, it may not function correctly.
Programming
Errors
Programming errors or misunderstandings about how to use programmable thermostats can result in incorrect schedules or settings.
Software
Issues
For digital thermostats, bugs or glitches in the software or firmware can cause erratic behavior.
Sensor
Problems
Faulty temperature sensors can cause the thermostat to misread the temperature, leading to incorrect heating or cooling cycles.
If you encounter persistent issues or are unsure about the solution, we recommend you give us a call for a thorough inspection and repair. Aire Serv is avaliable at anytime when you have an AC or heater emergency, including problems caused by your thermostat.

Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat
The Aire Serv team loves smart thermostats and the convenience they bring our customers! Upgrading to a smart thermostat offers several benefits compared to traditional thermostats, such as:
Energy Savings: Smart thermostats can learn your building’s patterns and adjust heating and cooling settings accordingly. They can also be remotely controlled and programmed, allowing you to optimize energy use based on occupancy schedules and preferences. This can lead to significant energy savings over time.
Improved Comfort: Smart thermostats often provide more precise temperature control and can adjust settings based on real-time data and occupancy sensors. This helps maintain consistent comfort levels throughout the building.
Remote Access and Control: One of the key advantages of smart thermostats is the ability to control them remotely via a smartphone app or web interface. This is especially useful for commercial buildings where you may need to adjust temperatures outside of regular business hours or when you’re away from the premises.
Data and Analytics: Smart thermostats can provide data and analytics on energy usage patterns, allowing you to identify opportunities for further energy efficiency improvements. This data can also help in making informed decisions about HVAC system upgrades or maintenance.
Integration with Building Automation Systems: Smart thermostats can often integrate with existing building automation systems, allowing for centralized control and coordination with other building systems like lighting and security.
Ease of Use: Many smart thermostats have intuitive interfaces and features like touchscreen displays or voice control capabilities, making them easier to use and program compared to traditional thermostats.
Maintenance Alerts: Some smart thermostats can provide alerts and notifications for HVAC system maintenance needs, such as filter changes or system malfunctions, helping to prevent potential issues before they become serious.
Environmental Impact: By optimizing energy usage and reducing HVAC system runtime through smart scheduling and adaptive learning, smart thermostats contribute to lowering the carbon footprint of your commercial building.
Upgrading to a smart thermostat not only enhances convenience and comfort but also promotes energy efficiency and cost savings, making it a worthwhile investment for owners of commercial properties. If you’re ready to make this office improvement, give Aire Serv a call! We are happy to walk you through the different smart thermostat options to find the best option for you and get it installed as soon as possible. Love your office’s thermostat?
