That's a classic sign of short cycling, a common issue here. It's often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. This constant stopping and starting puts immense stress on your system, hikes up your energy bills, and fails to properly dehumidify your home. We'll diagnose the precise cause—whether it's a simple fix like a filter change or a more involved repair—to restore steady, efficient operation.

Our humid climate means your AC produces a lot of condensation. That moisture runs through a drain line, where algae, mold, and mineral buildup from our water can create stubborn clogs. A full drain pan or a system that shuts off are warning signs. We recommend annual preventative maintenance where we flush the drain line with a safe solution. You can also help by pouring a cup of distilled vinegar down the drain access monthly during cooling season to inhibit growth.

Absolutely. A comprehensive maintenance visit is the best defense. For short cycling, we check refrigerant levels, calibrate thermostats, clean coils, and ensure proper airflow. For drain issues, we clear and test the condensate line. This proactive care catches small problems before they become major repairs, improves efficiency to lower your bills, and extends the life of your system. It's tailored to handle the specific demands our local weather places on your HVAC equipment.
