why are your aircons dying so fast?
Getting overtaxed by an aggressive thermostat (maybe)
Thermostats in most residential settings are just a series of on/off switches. All it does is complete the 0.5v circuit from your HVAC control board that tells it which parts to activate.
The only way for a thermostat to cause any extra wear and tear on the AC unit is if it was rapidly turning on/off. However most thermostats, including Nest, have a maintenance band of +/- a couple of degrees, to prevent that sort of rapid cycling.
If @_[email protected] is going through AC units that fast, they likely have a more serious electrical problem in their home.
(just making a joke 😄)
I know, it's just not often that I get to flex useless HVAC knowledge. :)
South Texas + Never buy the cheapest of anything you actually care about. Lesson learned! (Same unit replaced twice under warranty)
