Termostathantering

Termostathantering, also known as thermostat cycling, refers to the repeated on-and-off operation of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system due to the thermostat's sensitivity to temperature changes. This phenomenon can lead to increased energy consumption and reduced system lifespan. The thermostat's sensitivity is determined by its setpoint, which is the temperature at which the system turns on or off. A thermostat with a narrow setpoint range will cycle more frequently than one with a wider range. To mitigate thermostathantering, homeowners can adjust the setpoint to a wider range, use a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature, or install a smart thermostat that learns and adapts to the home's temperature patterns. Additionally, regular maintenance of the HVAC system can help prevent thermostathantering by ensuring the system operates efficiently.
