Why Homeowners & Businesses Trust Our Team for Thermostat Issues

When a thermostat fails, most people worry about two things. The first is how quickly the temperature will get back under control. The second is whether they will be told to replace expensive equipment when a smaller repair would do. We understand both concerns, and we structure our service to reduce those worries from the start.

Our technicians focus on accurate diagnosis, because a correct answer at the beginning protects you from wasted time and money later. With more than three decades serving customers and advanced diagnostic tools on every truck, we can test your thermostat, wiring, and connected HVAC equipment in a methodical way. This helps us distinguish between a control problem and a system issue before we recommend any work.

We also back our work in a way that is clear and simple. Chrismon Heating & Cooling offers a 10-year warranty on parts and labor for qualifying installations and repairs, and we support our service quality with a 100% cash-back guarantee. These protections show how seriously we take your trust, and they give you confidence that you will not be left on your own if something does not perform as expected.

Frequent Thermostat Symptoms

We often respond to calls where customers see one or more of these signs:

• Inconsistent temperatures between rooms or floors
• System not turning on or shutting off when expected
• Thermostat display that is blank, frozen, or flickering
• Short cycling, where the system starts and stops frequently
• Unexpected schedule changes or settings that do not seem to “stick”

We frequently see problems related to power, including dead batteries, loose low-voltage connections, or issues with the circuit providing power to the thermostat. Placement can also play a role. A thermostat that sits in direct sunlight, near a draft, or close to a heat source can read the room temperature incorrectly, which leads to hot and cold spots. In some homes in the area, older wiring or older thermostats can also create compatibility challenges with newer HVAC equipment.

How Our Team Pinpoints the Real Issue

Our diagnostic process typically starts with basic checks, such as confirming power and settings, then moves into electrical and control testing. We may test individual thermostat wires, verify that the control is sending the right signals to your furnace or heat pump, and confirm that the equipment responds correctly. If the control is programmable or smart, we also look for configuration errors that could cause unusual cycling or temperature swings.

Throughout this process, we look at the entire heating and cooling system, not just the thermostat on the wall. That broader view helps us tell the difference between a worn-out thermostat, a damaged control wire, or an equipment issue like a safety switch or control board problem. Our goal is to identify the true source of the trouble so we can recommend a solution that lasts, rather than a quick reset that leaves you calling again in a few weeks.

What to Do if Your Thermostat Stops Working

If your thermostat suddenly stops working, it can be tempting to panic, especially when the weather in Greensboro is very hot or cold. A few simple, safe checks can sometimes rule out easy issues before you call for service. At the same time, there are clear points where it makes more sense to stop troubleshooting and bring in a trained technician.

There are a few basic steps you can take before you call for help:

• Confirm settings. Make sure the thermostat is set to heat or cool, depending on what you need, and that the fan and temperature settings are correct.
• Check batteries. If your thermostat uses batteries, replacing them with fresh ones is a simple step that sometimes restores the display.
• Look at your breaker panel. See if the breaker that feeds your heating or cooling system has tripped and reset it once if needed.

If the screen stays blank, breakers continue to trip, you smell something unusual, or you hear unfamiliar noises from the equipment, it is safer to stop and call for help. Continuing to reset or cycle the system when something deeper is wrong can put extra strain on your furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump. When the temperatures here are extreme, it is usually better to call quickly instead of spending a long time trying to track down the problem on your own.

Information That Helps When You Call

When you contact Chrismon Heating & Cooling, any details you can share will help us prepare, such as what the thermostat display shows, how old the system is if you know it, and when the problem started. If you do not have that information, that is fine too. We design our questions to guide you, and our technicians will perform a full assessment once they arrive. For prompt help, you can always call (336) 901-9146, and our team will work with you to schedule the next available visit.

Knowing what will happen after you call can make the entire situation feel less stressful. We follow a clear process for thermostat repair so you know what to expect from the first conversation through the final test of your system. This helps keep communication open and gives you confidence in each step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the thermostat is the problem or my HVAC system?

It can be difficult to tell on your own whether a thermostat or the HVAC system is at fault, because similar symptoms can appear in both situations. For example, a system that does not start when you change the temperature could point to a failed thermostat, a tripped safety device, or a problem inside the furnace or air handler. Our technicians sort this out by testing the thermostat first, then the wiring and the connected equipment.

We usually begin with visual checks and basic electrical tests at the thermostat. If the device is powered and appears to be sending a signal, we then test at the equipment to see if that signal is arriving correctly. We may temporarily bypass the thermostat to see whether the system responds, which helps narrow down the cause. By working step by step, we can tell you with confidence whether a thermostat repair will resolve the issue or if your HVAC system needs additional attention.

Can your team repair any type of thermostat I already have?

Our team works on a wide range of common thermostats, including many digital and programmable models that are already installed in homes and small businesses. In a lot of cases, problems come from wiring issues, power problems, or configuration errors that we can address without changing the entire device. For some older or heavily damaged thermostats, replacement is often more practical than repair, especially if parts are no longer readily available.

If you have a smart thermostat or a brand new model, we can usually evaluate how it is interacting with your system and correct many common issues. In situations where a particular thermostat is not compatible with your equipment, we explain why and review options for a compatible control. Our goal is to give you clear information so you can decide whether repair, reconfiguration, or replacement is the best path for your home or business.

What will thermostat repair usually cost me?

The cost of thermostat repair depends on what we find during diagnosis. Simple issues, such as a loose connection or minor configuration change, generally cost less than replacing a thermostat or repairing related control wiring. Because every system and situation is a little different, we provide clear pricing after we have identified the problem and before we begin repair work.

During our visit, we explain the recommended solution, outline any alternatives when they exist, and review the related costs so you can make an informed decision. Our 10-year warranty on qualifying parts and labor and our 100% cash-back guarantee add protection to that investment. You know that if there is an issue with the work covered by these protections, we will address it, which helps reduce the risk of paying for the same problem twice.

How quickly can you get to my home or business if my system will not turn on?

Response time depends on call volume, time of day, and how busy the schedule is, but we work hard to respond quickly when your system will not run at all. During very hot summers or cold winters in Greensboro, a nonworking system can be more than just uncomfortable. It can create safety concerns for young children, older adults, or people with certain health conditions, so we factor that urgency into our scheduling.

Chrismon Heating & Cooling offers 24/7 availability, which means you can reach our team at any hour when you have an urgent issue. When you call, we let you know the next available appointment window and discuss whether the situation qualifies as an emergency visit. Our goal is to be honest about timing while doing everything we reasonably can to restore your heating or cooling as soon as possible.

Should I upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat during the repair?

Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can be beneficial, but it is not the right choice for every home or business. A new control can support better comfort and energy savings if it matches your equipment, wiring, and daily routine. For example, if you are away at regular times, a programmable thermostat can set back temperatures when you do not need full heating or cooling, then bring your space back to a comfortable level before you return.

During a visit, we talk with you about how you use your space, whether you are comfortable with technology, and what you hope to achieve. In some cases, repairing or replacing your existing style of thermostat is the most straightforward path. In others, an upgrade provides clear benefits. We present the options, explain the pros and cons, and leave the decision to you without pressure. Our focus is on tailored solutions that fit your needs, not on selling a particular type of thermostat.
