Short-cycling is a term that is used to describe an air conditioner turning off and on more frequently than it should. It is normal for air conditioning units to cycle off and on over the course of the day in order to maintain the desired temperature in your house. However, when air conditioners turn off and on too often you can be sure a problem is present. Especially if the temperature outdoors isn’t hotter than normal. This is called short cycling and it can be a red flag of a problem with your unit. It’s time to call in the repair technicians when this happens. You want to do everything you can to make sure there is not an issue.
Short cycling of an air conditioner unit is a problem because it usually is an indicator something is wrong with the AC. Allowing the unit to continue operating and keep short-cycling can put substantial stress on the air conditioner unit. This can result in the unit having a shorter life span. In some cases, the AC can fail entirely if the air conditioning is repeatedly short cycling. If you catch the problem in time you could save your AC.
