1. Getting Old: Thermostats can wear out over time, leading to bad readings or just giving up completely.

2. Wiring Issues: Loose or damaged wires can mess up the thermostat’s connection with your heating system.

3. Battery Problems: Low or dead batteries can make your thermostat act up or stop working.

4. Dust and Debris: Dust build-up inside the thermostat can interfere with its sensors.

5. Incorrect Settings: Sometimes, it’s just a matter of having the wrong settings or programming on the thermostat.
