A Thermostat in the Air-Handler Closet Lies About the Living Room
A Tampa thermostat in the mechanical closet reads the equipment, not the people. We put the sensor in living space before we argue about the setpoint.
The closet is cold. The sofa is not.
We still find Tampa Bay stats mounted in the air-handler closet, or on the wall the supply dump hits first. The equipment is satisfied. The living room is not. That is the boiler-room version of a bad sensor, even when the fuel is electric cooling. The control is reading the machine room.
Relocation belongs with thermostat repair and installation. Equipment that never cools still belongs on A/C repair before anyone moves a stat. Related sensor notes are in sensor placement.
Compare closet air to the room you sit in
Write both temperatures at the same hour. If the closet is four degrees cooler than the family room every afternoon, the sensor is the story. Closed interior doors without a return path make it worse. That path belongs under air duct and vent repair.
Sticky air with a fine closet reading is humidity. See dehumidifier services, not a colder closet target.
