If your AC keeps turning on and off, it could be short cycling.
Short cycling happens when your system stops before completing a full cooling cycle, which can put extra strain on your equipment and lower efficiency over time. It may be caused by restricted airflow, clogged filters, thermostat issues, low refrigerant, or an improperly sized system.
While it might seem like your AC is just working hard to keep up, constant cycling can lead to uneven temperatures, higher energy bills, and added wear on important components. If your system is cycling more than usual, our technicians can help find the cause and recommend the right solution to keep your home comfortable.
