Ecobee Calibrating Heat Cool Disabled? Fix It

Ever wonder why the Ecobee calibrating heat cool feature is disabled? Go on reading; you're not alone! An underlying hardware or software problem may be indicated if Ecobee's "Calibrating" error message persists longer than usual. This calibration check is intended only to find any issues with the thermostat or the HVAC system and notify the user immediately.

Why is the Ecobee Heat Cooling and Calibrating Disabled?

  • The thermostat's calibration has yet to be finalised.
  • There is an issue with the HVAC system's power supply.
  • A sensor on the Ecobee thermostat isn't working correctly.
  • The Ecobee's firmware is out of date.
  • The HVAC system's furnace is overheating.
  • The HVAC conditioner has blockages in it.

Can Ecobee Cool or Heat During the Calibrating Process?

  • As the error message's description implies, the thermostat cannot heat or cool while calibrating.
  • The "System Calibration" identifies malfunctions in the HVAC system's A/C devices or furnaces.
  • Occasionally, the calibration process begins, and when everything is working as it should, it ends on its own.

Ecobee Heating/Cooling Disabled: Tried-and-True Fixes!

1. Give the Thermostat Some Time to Adjust

After five to twenty minutes, the "Calibrating, heat/cool disabled" message usually disappears. During calibration, it could take some time for the Ecobee thermostat to identify any problems with the furnace or air conditioner's connections to the terminals.

2. Manually Recalibrate 

You can manually configure the calibration of the Ecobee thermostat by adjusting its temperature if the device does not calibrate quickly enough on its own. Finding the "Temperature Correction" configuration tab in the thermostat's settings is all required.

3. Reload the Firmware on the Thermostat

An obsolete firmware version is another cause for the Ecobee thermostat to calibrate continuously. When operating on an outdated firmware version that does not support specific features, the Ecobee device may be unable to finish the system calibration checkup.

Step #1 Link an Ecobee Thermostat to the Internet:

The thermostat must be connected to WiFi to update the device's operating system first. Therefore, to pair the Ecobee thermostat with a WiFi network, follow these instructions:

  • First, select the Thermostat Settings from the menu.
  • Select "WiFi" to turn on the "WiFi Radio" feature.
  • Click "Select WiFi Network" after selecting "Network."
  • Select your WiFi network from the list by scrolling down.
  • After entering the WiFi password, click "Connect."

Step #2 Update the Firmware on Your Ecobee Thermostat

The firmware update will be carried out manually as long as the Ecobee thermostat is linked to WiFi. The firmware update will begin automatically if you haven't connected the thermostat in a while and recently reconnected to the internet.

Which Ecobee Wire Configuration is Correct?

The Ecobee thermostat's wires should be installed as follows:

  • The "RC" terminal connector should be connected to the "RC" (red wire).
  • The "G" terminal connector should be connected to the "G" (green) wire.
  • The yellow "Y/Y1" wire should be connected to the "Y1" terminal connector.
  • The "C" terminal connector should be connected to the "C" (blue wire).
  • Join the white wire, designated as "W/W1," to the "W1" terminal connector.
  • Change the battery in the Ecobee sensor
  • Should the message "Ecobee calibrating heat cool disabled" persist on the device's display, it might be associated with a malfunctioning sensor.
  • The technology from Ecobee uses sensors to continuously measure the ambient temperature in your home and create a heating and cooling schedule.
  • For the thermostat to operate smoothly and consistently, Ecobee sensors are required in every room.

Following a Factory Reset, What Happens?

  • After the factory reset is finished, you'll need to reconfigure the Ecobee thermostat.
  • Every customised option and schedule will be removed, and the thermostat's default settings will be restored.
  • All your thermostat issues will be resolved, though, as this offers a new beginning!
