Your smart thermostat should have a display screen that shows you important information, including the temperature in your Marietta, GA, home, the target temperature and the status of your HVAC equipment. Sometimes, however, this information may inexplicably disappear. Here are a few possible explanations for why your smart thermostat screen has gone blank:
Dead Batteries
The simplest explanation for the trouble you see is that your smart thermostat’s batteries have died. Luckily, the solution is an equally simple one. Replacing the old batteries with new ones should hopefully return the display screen and bring everything back to normal.
Electrical Issues
Various electrical wires connect your thermostat to your HVAC system and allow for the transmission of signals between them. The fraying or damaging of these wires may make communication between your thermostat and your HVAC system impossible, or they may simply prevent the flow of electricity to your thermostat, which would cause its screen to go blank. Thus, to restore the display screen, HVAC repair service technicians would need to either replace this wiring or fix any broken parts inside your smart thermostat.
Tripped Circuit Breaker
If your HVAC system has somehow tripped your circuit breaker, the result will be a loss of electrical power to all of your devices, including your smart thermostat. If your system is old, inefficient or has a malfunctioning compressor, it may inadvertently consume so much power as to trigger a reaction from your breaker. Alternatively, your breaker may simply be too old and no longer to handle the power load that your HVAC system and your smart thermostat require.
To prevent this problem from occurring, you’ll need to either fix your HVAC system or your circuit breaker. Our team can provide you with the repair services you’ll need to do the former, but the latter will also require extensive work.
The reasons for a blank smart thermostat screen may be very simple or complex. Regardless of the nature of the issue, our team can help you. Call Certified Air Care, Inc. today to get the best HVAC services around Marietta, GA.
