thermostats are known for having problems regulating temperatures in the house accurately. but, sometimes the real problem isn’t the thermostat; it is where it is located! thermostat that are:
- exposed to sunlight
- exposed to heat from appliances like televisions and computers
- exposed to heat from a lamp or other light source that emits heat
- installed on an exterior wall of the house
- installed too close to a window
- installed too close to a supply vent
- installed in an enclosed area far from a return vent
- installed too close to a door
- installed in an area that is prone to drafts
- installed in an area this is not frequently occupied
if your thermostat is located in any of these areas this may be what is causing your problem. poor location causes the thermostat to misinterpret the temperature in the house. as a result, it will run the heater and the cooling system more than necessary, or it will force you to change the setting on the thermostat to compensate for the lack of heating or cooling in other areas of the house.
when this happens your power bills begin to increase due to the longer run times needed from the heating, ventalation, and air conditioning equipment. you could be wasting a lot of money every month because of poor thermostat placement, and if you think that you may have this problem in your house, you should contact a expert.
a expert heating, ventalation, and air conditioning craftsperson will be able to determine if any of these factors are influencing your thermostat. if he finds that they are, he may be able to offer some solutions or he may even have to relocate the thermostat to another area in the house. thermostat location is crucial to the correct function and efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment, so it is in your best interest to have this problem examined as soon as possible.
