Possible Causes
Thermostat installed near heat source or draft, Internal temperature sensor drift, Poor wall insulation behind thermostat, Direct sunlight on GLAS glass panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No high‑voltage work is required.
- Step 1 – Compare readings: Place a reliable thermometer near GLAS and compare readings over 30 minutes.
- Step 2 – Check location: Ensure GLAS is not above supply vents, near exterior doors, in direct sunlight, or above electronics that emit heat.
- Step 3 – Improve wall insulation: Remove GLAS and check for a large hole in the wall behind the wall plate. Seal gaps with foam or putty to prevent wall cavity drafts from affecting the sensor.
- Step 4 – Relocate thermostat: If the location is inherently poor, consider moving the GLAS to an interior wall in a representative room. This may require running new thermostat cable.
- Step 5 – Replace thermostat: If location and environment are good but readings remain significantly off, the internal temperature sensor may be defective. Replace the GLAS thermostat.
