“Recovery mode” is simply a state where the thermostat in your Luling, LA home is coming out of or entering energy-saving mode and reacting to the outside air temperature. In many cases, this is normal. Keep reading to find out more about the reasons that your thermostat could enter recovery mode.
Programming
If you have a programmable thermostat, smart or otherwise, and you have set it to change temperatures throughout the day, then as the thermostat adjusts to your required changes, it will enter recovery mode in between those changes. This is assuming that the outside temperature is fairly constant. As an example, if it’s 82 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and you set it to be 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning, 80 degrees Fahrenheit while you’re at work, and degrees 68 Fahrenheit after you get home, then it might display “recovery mode” as it makes those changes.
Reacting to the Outside Temperature
The temperature in Luling, LA is often in the 90s during the summer and into fall. It also drops into the 60’s to 70s in the evening, so your air-conditioning system may change after the sun goes down. For example, if you’ve set your system to keep your home at 74 degrees Fahrenheit and it drops to 67 degrees or lower later in the fall, then your thermostat will enter recovery mode for a while.
Learning Patterns
Over time, if you set the thermostat at various temperatures, then a smart thermostat will learn your patterns. When this happens, the thermostat will automatically change the temperature inside your home to match the preferences that you’ve shown over time. When making those changes, it will show “recovery mode” at certain points.
Of course, something may just be wrong with the thermostat, too, and in this case, you’ll need help. So, when you need help with maintenance, be sure to contact us at Caribbean Breeze Heating and Cooling right away.
