Your HVAC system’s thermostat is a vital part of keeping you comfortable in your Red Bank, SC home. Occasionally, it can experience problems that require prompt attention. Let’s look at four potential reasons that your thermostat could have a blank screen.
1. Dead Batteries
Dead batteries can cause your thermostat to have a blank screen. If you notice the display has gone blank, try replacing the batteries first to see if that resolves the issue. You may find it helpful to replace them at least twice a year to minimize this issue.
2. Loose or Damaged Wiring
If a change of batteries does not resolve the problem, your thermostat could have loose or damaged wiring. Vibrations from foot traffic in your home can cause the wiring to loosen, while pests like mice can damage wiring by chewing it. Wiring concerns call for professional HVAC repairs for your thermostat.
3. Tripped Breaker or Blown Fuse
You should also check the breaker if your thermostat’s display goes blank. If it has tripped its breaker, turn the breaker off and then back on to reset it. You may need to replace a blown fuse.
4. Age
Age can also cause your thermostat’s display to go blank. Most thermostats start wearing out and need replacing after 10 or 15 years of use. You can hire an HVAC technician to install a new thermostat.
