Today we’re going to talk about what air conditioner short cycling is and some of the most common problems that cause it to happen!

What is my air conditioner short cycling?

Air conditioner short cycling is a problem in which your air conditioner goes through its on-and-off cycles too frequently.

Prevent air conditioner short cycling with proper maintenance

There are two important ways that you can prevent air conditioner short cycling. The first thing you can do is keep a clean air filter installed in your system. This will prevent airflow issues that will otherwise cause short cycling and a whole host of other problems. The second thing you can do is schedule an A/C tune-up every year. During your tune-up we’ll inspect your system for all of the above problems and more, which will significantly lower the chance of encountering short cycling issues during the cooling season.
