Using your air conditioner in the summer months is a necessity. The temperature outside is not bearable and that is why you want to have a place to be able to come inside and enjoy the cooler temperature. The AC is a major part of your comfort in the summer and if you don’t take care of it properly it can hard to get through the hot days. There are several problems that you can come up against when you have an AC unit. Some of them will cause the unit to stop working or even not work as efficiently as it is supposed to. You want to make sure you know what these problems are and what you can do to repair the problem. One of the issues that you might come across is when your air conditioning units is short cycling.

Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning Lists What Causes Short Cycling & How to Stop It

HVAC Short Cycling Definition: There are some types of AC issues that you would quickly call to have a technician out to make repairs. If your house is basically being cooled off you may not think it is important to call for help. There are some problems that can lead to issues that can be damaging to the unit. Short cycling is one of them and it is when the unit runs for short periods of time. It may be on for a few seconds up to a minute then it will turn off. This will happen over and over again so it is actually cooling the house down somewhat but this should not be happening. If you hear the unit coming on and off over and over and in short spurts it could be short cycling. You want to make sure you have it repaired right away.
Oversized or Undersized Air Conditioner: There are some people that think that the bigger your AC unit is the better it will work for your house. The problem is that bigger is not always better. If you choose a unit that is too large for the square footage that it will be cooling it can send too much air in the house in large quantities. That means that it will heat back up faster as well and then the unit will turn back on. You need to make sure that you have the right sized unit. You can have a technician out to look at your unit to see if the size unit you have is right for you. You may end up needing to replace the unit with the size that is efficient for you.
Clogged Air Filters: The unit may be short cycling because the return air is not able to filter out the air properly. This can be a very simple fix which is as simple as changing out the air filter. The filter needs to be replaced regularly so that they are able to allow the right amount of air flow into the unit to be circulated. This is a good place to start if you notice that your unit seems to be short cycling.
