Thermostat not responding — New York, New York
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.
