Thermostat repair in Austin, TX
Common thermostat problems we fix
- Thermostat screen blank, flickering, or unresponsive
- Inaccurate temperature readings or frequent temperature swings
- AC or heat won’t turn on (or won’t turn off)
- Short cycling: system turns on/off too often
- Smart thermostat connectivity issues (Wi‑Fi, app setup, sensor pairing)
- Multi-stage or heat pump control issues (comfort problems, higher bills, inconsistent run times)
What a professional thermostat diagnosis includes
We verify thermostat setup and programming, inspect wiring and terminals, check system compatibility (conventional vs heat pump, single-stage vs multi-stage), and confirm the HVAC equipment is receiving the correct signals. If repair is not cost-effective, we’ll explain replacement options clearly.
Thermostat installation and replacement
Whether you’re replacing an older thermostat, upgrading to a programmable model, or switching to a smart thermostat, proper installation matters. A miswired or misconfigured thermostat can cause comfort issues, unnecessary wear, and confusing behavior.
We install and replace all major thermostat types
- Non-programmable thermostats: simple and reliable for straightforward comfort control
- Programmable thermostats: scheduled settings to reduce wasted heating and cooling
- Wi‑Fi thermostats: remote control and app-based scheduling
- Smart thermostats: advanced features like learning schedules, occupancy-based adjustments, and usage insights
Already purchased a thermostat? No problem—we can often install customer-provided devices and confirm they’re configured correctly for your HVAC system.
Smart thermostat compatibility: what we check
- Power and wiring: whether your setup supports continuous power (and what options exist if it doesn’t)
- System type: furnace + AC, heat pump, dual fuel, or electric heat
- Stages: single-stage vs multi-stage heating/cooling
- Accessories: humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation, or indoor air quality products
After installation, we help you set schedules, confirm heat/cool changeover behavior, connect the app, and verify the system responds correctly.
HVAC zoning in Austin, TX
If your home has rooms that never match the rest of the house—common in multi-story layouts—HVAC zoning may be a better solution than constantly adjusting the thermostat. Zoning divides your home into separate comfort areas (“zones”) that can call for heating or cooling independently.
How zoning works (in plain language)
A zoning system typically uses multiple thermostats, a central control panel, and dampers in the ductwork. When a zone needs comfort, the system opens the appropriate dampers and directs conditioned air where it’s needed—rather than overheating or overcooling the whole house.
When zoning is worth considering
- Upstairs is consistently hotter (or colder) than downstairs
- Large homes with wings or additions that don’t stay comfortable
- Rooms with big sun exposure that overheat compared to the interior
- You want different temperatures in bedrooms vs living areas
Not every system is a good zoning candidate. We’ll evaluate ductwork, equipment capacity, and control compatibility before recommending a zoning design.

Thermostat & zoning FAQs
Do you offer thermostat repair in Austin, TX?
Yes. We diagnose thermostat issues, confirm system compatibility, and restore reliable control for heating and cooling.
Can you install a smart thermostat I already bought?
Often, yes. We’ll confirm compatibility with your HVAC system and install/configure it correctly.
My thermostat screen is blank—does that mean I need a new thermostat?
Not always. Many blank-screen issues are power or battery related. We can diagnose whether repair, wiring correction, or replacement is the best fix.
Do smart thermostats work with heat pumps?
Many do, but compatibility varies. Heat pumps and multi-stage systems require correct configuration to avoid comfort problems and wasted energy.
What is HVAC zoning and can it fix uneven temperatures?
Zoning uses multiple thermostats and duct dampers to direct heating/cooling to specific areas. It can help a lot with uneven comfort, but it requires an evaluation to confirm your home is a good candidate.
How much does thermostat installation or replacement cost?
Cost depends on the thermostat type (basic vs smart), system complexity, and whether wiring or accessories are needed. We’ll provide clear options after an evaluation.
