FAQ

Thermostat Not Working Questions

My thermostat screen is blank. What should I check first?

Start with the batteries if it uses them, then check whether the breaker powering your HVAC system has tripped. If the screen stays blank after that, call NILOV.

Should I try to rewire my thermostat myself?

No. NILOV does not recommend removing the thermostat from the wall or handling its wiring — that is best left to a professional, even though the wiring is low-voltage.

My thermostat works but the temperature reading seems wrong. Is that normal?

Not necessarily. Thermostat placement, age, or a wiring issue can all cause inaccurate readings. It is worth having it checked, especially if it is affecting comfort.
