Fluctuating in-house temperatures<\/a> can make your house unbearable, and your thermostat might just be the culprit. Moving your thermostat to an ideal location can be the solution to your home feeling too hot or cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving your thermostat may even ease the burden of a hefty utility bill. If you’re into DIY projects, you should definitely make this your next adventure. So, how can you move your thermostat? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should You Move a Thermostat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A thermostat essentially regulates an HVAC<\/a> system’s working mechanism by sensing whether a room’s temperature is above or below the temperature you set as ideal. Digital thermostats<\/a> contain thermistors to measure air temperature changes, while smart thermostats<\/a> use sensors to detect temperature changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also move your thermostat if you’ve just remodeled your house and it looks misplaced or ugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorrect Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The proper placement for your thermostat will prevent you from feeling uncomfortable in your own house. If your home feels uncomfortably hot or cold despite having a working HVAC unit, then it might be time to move your thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many things that can go wrong when choosing the best place for your thermostat. If you moved into your home or apartment and found the current thermostat somewhere breezy, like near a door, window, or air vent, then it’s time to change its location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that your thermostat will always pick up a cooler temperature in these areas because of the draft that passes through, so your HVAC system won’t shut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your thermostat is outside your home or on a west-facing wall, it will always read higher temperatures, especially during the summer. However, during the winter, the thermostat will read the outside air temperature, and you may end up living in a furnace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need to move your thermostat if it’s placed in an abandoned room. Most abandoned rooms are colder than the rest of the house, so your thermostat averages won’t resonate with the whole house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
