EZ Air Conditioning and Heating

Have you noticed your AC acting strangely, with fluctuating temperatures or constantly running, and wondered what might be causing it? More often than not, a faulty or failing sensor could be the culprit. 

Keep reading as EZ Air Conditioning and Heating discusses the signs that your AC might be experiencing sensor problems. 

Fluctuating Temperatures

One clear sign that your AC sensor may not be functioning properly is inconsistent temperature throughout your home. If you find certain rooms too cold while others are too warm, check your sensor. A faulty sensor can send incorrect information to your thermostat, causing temperature fluctuations that make it difficult to maintain a comfortable environment.

Constantly Running AC

When the sensor isn’t accurately measuring the temperature, it can cause your system to run non-stop, trying to achieve the desired setting. This leads to higher energy consumption and utility bills and can also put unnecessary wear and tear on your AC system.

Frequent Short Cycling

Short cycling refers to your AC turning on and off frequently, often before it can cool your home effectively. A faulty sensor can be the cause as it sends incorrect temperature readings to the thermostat, making it difficult for your AC to maintain the desired level of comfort.

Thermostat Failure

If your thermostat seems unresponsive to temperature adjustments, it could be due to a failing AC sensor. You may find that adjusting the thermostat has little or no effect on the actual temperature in your home, making it tough to maintain a comfortable environment.
