Experienced HVAC Services in Lexington, KY 40505 - Ann's Heating & Air Conditioning

This is called short-cycling, a common issue in our area often caused by dirty air filters, refrigerant leaks, or an incorrectly sized unit. It strains your system and skyrockets energy bills. Our technicians perform a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple filter change, sealing a refrigerant leak, or assessing your system's capacity—and provide a lasting repair to restore normal, efficient operation.

Signs of a refrigerant leak include reduced cooling power, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, a hissing sound from the unit, and higher-than-normal energy bills. Since handling refrigerant requires EPA certification, it's crucial to call a professional. We use advanced leak detection tools to safely locate and repair the leak, then precisely recharge your system to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring it runs efficiently and effectively.

Preventative maintenance is key to avoiding short-cycling and leaks. We recommend and perform bi-annual tune-ups that include cleaning coils, checking refrigerant pressure and levels, inspecting electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive service helps us catch small issues before they become major repairs, extends your system's lifespan, and keeps it running at peak efficiency through Kentucky's humid summers and cold winters.
