What Does The Hold Button On A Thermostat Mean

September 7, 2020

What Does The Hold Button On A Thermostat Mean

Programmable thermostats or smart thermostats have long been an industry game-changer. They enable automation and reduce user error when it comes to controlling your HVAC system. Whether your thermostat offers you multiple setting schedules or only one, you want to set it and forget it.

An unexpected change of schedule can leave you scrambling to reset your thermostat accordingly. This is where the hold button on your thermostat comes in handy. It is a temporary control that allows you to make spur of the moment changes.

What Does Hold Mean on a Thermostat

Think of it as an override button. The hold button on the thermostat allows you to key in the desired temperature, different from your normal programming. It will maintain this new setting until you resume your regular schedule.

There are two kinds of hold settings. The “Permanent Hold” option maintains the schedule override until you manually cancel it.

On the other hand, the temporary hold or “Hold Until” keeps the new temperature for a predetermined amount of time. It automatically resumes your regular schedule thereafter.

The “Hold Until” setting is perfect for short-term thermostat changes with a fixed duration such as a day off in the middle of a workweek. However, if you need to go out of town for an indeterminate period, you can opt for “Permanent Hold”. You can manually change the thermostat back to its normal programming whenever you get back home.
How to Get My Thermostat off the Hold Setting

It is pretty simple. Press the “Cancel”, “Run” or “Run Schedule” button to set the thermostat back to its normal schedule. It will vary depending on your model. It is still possible to adjust the temperature setting higher or lower during a “Hold”.
