It\u2019s one of those issues that\u2019s a little annoying, sure, but you might not think it\u2019s a life or death situation. We want to assure you that short cycling is an issue worthy of your attention. It\u2019s not something that you can just ignore and hope that it goes away. Ignoring a problem like this only gives the issue an opportunity to worsen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time for you to contact our team for professional service if you\u2019re experiencing short cycling in your home. Short cycling is the downfall of your AC system and it\u2019s not a problem that you want to deal with during the summer.

Short cycling is something that you might notice but not have a laser sharp focus on. Short cycling is when your air conditioner switches on, runs for a very short amount of time, shuts off, and then turns back on shortly after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice this happening in your home it means that you\u2019re having a big issue with your air conditioning system. You might think that you can get away with ignoring this issue until the summer is over and then scheduling your repair services for a less stressful time. Short cycling is an issue worthy of your time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cycling is such a terror on your air conditioning\nsystem because it forces your AC unit to repeat the hardest part of the cooling\nprocess over and over. Start up is hard on your air conditioning system. It requires\nthe most energy performed from the unit. Your air conditioner is equipped to\nperform these services within reason. If you force your unit to perform these\nservices back to back in a unhealthy cycle, however, you\u2019ll notice the quality\nof your air conditioner decline. This is a very easy way to land yourself in hot\nwater. The last thing you want in the middle of summer is a defunct air\nconditioning system. Contact our team at the first sign of air conditioner\nshort cycling and we\u2019ll be out to your home in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Short Cycling Happens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So now that you know all about how short cycling works, you\nmight wonder how this even happens in your home so you can avoid it in the\nfuture. Short cycling typically happens in one of two ways: you either have an oversized\nsystem or you have a dirty, run down system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bigger isn\u2019t always better. If your air conditioning system\nis oversized, it means that your unit will always pump far too much cool air\ninto your home in a short amount of time. Your home will cool off fast and your\nthermostat will switch off before the cooling process is actually over. This is\ninefficient, impractical, and it will leave you uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cycling can happen if your system hasn\u2019t been cleaned in a while too. A dirty, clogged air conditioning system will cause your AC to run a little haywire. The best way to avoid this problem is through our annual maintenance services.
