To turn your thermostat to cold: Inspect the settings and locate the mode switch or button. Switch the mode to 'Cool' or the snowflake icon. Set your desired temperature using the up and down arrows or dial. Ensure your HVAC system is set to 'Auto' or 'On', so it responds to the cooling demand. For programmable thermostats, refer to the user manual for specific instructions.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What does the snowflake icon on my thermostat mean? The snowflake icon indicates that the thermostat is in cooling mode, which activates the air conditioning to lower the home's temperature.
  2. How can I tell if my thermostat is working properly? You can check if your thermostat is functioning by ensuring that the temperature setting reflects the current climate, and that the HVAC system responds accordingly.
  3. Should my thermostat be set to 'Auto' or 'On' for cooling? Setting your thermostat to 'Auto' allows it to cool the home only when needed, while 'On' keeps the fan running continuously regardless of cooling demand.
