Can I repair a thermostat myself or should I hire a professional?
You can try simple checks first, but most thermostat repairs are best handled by a professional. Emerald installs, replaces, and repairs thermostats, and our technicians test accuracy and recalibrate during tune-ups. We follow manufacturer guidelines and can advise if a programmable or smart model fits your home. DIY wiring or miscalibration can lead to poor HVAC performance.
Quick checks:
- Replace batteries and confirm the thermostat is on Heat/Cool.
- Verify Hold/Vacation isn’t locking the schedule.
- Check the furnace/AC breaker and filter indicator.
