Calibrating your Ecobee Smart Thermostat is an essential step in its setup process. This calibration phase may take some time, but it’s crucial for accurate temperature readings and optimal performance.
Below, we’ll explore the calibration process for the Ecobee Smart Thermostat and discuss common reasons why calibration may be necessary after installation.
How Long Does Calibration Take on Ecobee’s Smart Thermostat?
The temperature sensor calibration on your Ecobee Smart Thermostat typically takes up to 20 minutes to complete. During this time, it’s best to allow the device to finish the calibration process before proceeding with using the thermostat.
If your thermostat includes an air quality sensor, the calibration for this sensor may take several days. You can expedite this process by ventilating the room, but ultimately, patience is key to ensuring accurate calibration.
Why Does My Ecobee Smart Thermostat Keep Calibrating?
If your Ecobee Smart Thermostat frequently enters the calibration mode, it’s likely due to power interruptions. A common cause of power loss is a dirty air filter, which can strain the furnace and lead to overheating.
To resolve calibration issues, start by replacing the air filters and ensuring there are no obstructions in the system. If problems persist, reach out to Ecobee support or an electrician for further assistance.
Various factors can trigger calibration loops on your thermostat, including power supply interruptions, safety settings, transformer compatibility issues, or clogged drain lines.
If troubleshooting the problem becomes challenging, consider seeking help from a professional electrician or HVAC technician to identify and resolve the underlying cause.
