Carnes and Sons Air Conditioning - San Antonio's Professional HVAC Repair

Short cycling is often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, or a malfunctioning thermostat. In our climate, it can also be due to low refrigerant from a leak, causing the system to overheat and shut down prematurely. Our technicians will diagnose the root cause to prevent the extra wear and tear and high energy bills this issue creates.

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common issue here that significantly reduces cooling capacity. You might notice warm air from vents, longer run times, or ice on the refrigerant lines. We use specialized electronic leak detectors to find even small leaks. We then repair the leak and recharge the system to the manufacturer's exact specification, ensuring safe, efficient operation.

Our repair service is a full diagnostic and solution process. For short cycling, we check system pressure, thermostat calibration, electrical components, and airflow. For suspected leaks, we perform a thorough leak test, make the necessary repair, and then evacuate and recharge the system. We always explain the issue, provide a clear estimate, and ensure your system is running efficiently for our local weather.
