Thermostat not responding — Madrid, Madrid
When your thermostat screen is blank, unresponsive, or the HVAC system ignores temperature changes, the problem may be as simple as dead batteries or as complex as a wiring failure. An HVAC technician can diagnose whether the issue is the thermostat itself, the wiring, or the equipment it controls.

Madrid's continental climate demands both: substantial winter heating for sub-zero nights and increasingly powerful summer AC for 40 °C+ heat, so many homes run dual systems that double the maintenance burden. F-Gas certified technicians are required for refrigerant work, and demand splits into an autumn heating-prep peak and a late-spring cooling-install rush, with installer waits at both.
