FAQs
Why does my thermostat read differently from a thermometer?
Is your thermostat reading the wrong temperature? Don’t worry; this happens. There are a few common issues that tend to plague thermostats, one of which is likely the reason your device is malfunctioning.
Some of these issues include: your thermostat not being level, or a potentially faulty sensor; of course, there’s also the possibility that your device may just be getting old. All these issues could cause a thermostat to read differently from a thermometer.
Regardless of why your thermostat is malfunctioning, here at Robert B. Payne Heating & Air, we’re here to help! Contact us today for all your thermostat maintenance needs.
How do I check the temperature the thermostat is set to?
Regardless of the specific type or brand of thermostat you have, programmable thermostats are controlled by a small digital touchscreen. This is where you can change temperature settings and view the current temperature.

What’s the difference between a smart and programmable thermostat?
When it comes to understanding the difference between a smart and programmable thermostat, there are just a few important components to consider.
First, a programmable thermostat lets you adjust your AC with near-perfect accuracy. With this type of thermostat, you essentially have the tools to adjust the temperature throughout your home as you see fit.
A smart thermostat, on the other hand, is an intuitive model that lets you control your home’s temperature via Wi-Fi. Smart thermostats also let you track and monitor your total energy consumption!
Can a smart thermostat help diagnose HVAC system performance issues before they lead to a breakdown?
Yes. Many high-end smart thermostats, such as those in the Nexia ecosystem, monitor system run times and temperature cycles. If the thermostat detects that the system is taking longer than usual to reach the setpoint or is “short-cycling,” it can send an alert to your smartphone. This early warning allows us to perform a diagnostic visit and address minor issues, such as a clogged filter or low refrigerant, before they cause a total system failure.
Why is it important to professionally level and calibrate a new digital thermostat during installation?
Even with digital sensors, proper leveling is critical for accurate temperature readings and to prevent internal component strain. During installation, our technicians also perform a calibration check against a high-precision digital thermometer. This ensures that when your thermostat reads 72°F, your home is actually 72°F, preventing your furnace or AC from overworking and helping you maintain the 5-10% energy savings promised by EPA-certified models.
