Clinard's Refrigeration AC & Heating Service - Frankston's Best HVAC Repair

Yes, that's a common symptom of a refrigerant leak, especially in our East Texas heat. When refrigerant levels are low, your AC loses its ability to absorb heat effectively, so it runs longer while cooling less. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to find the source of the leak, make the necessary repair, and then recharge the system to the exact level specified by the manufacturer. This restores cooling capacity and efficiency, protecting your compressor from damage.

Short cycling is often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty sensor. In our climate, it can also be triggered by a refrigerant leak causing the system to overheat and shut down as a safety measure. This constant stopping and starting puts tremendous stress on components and hikes up your energy bills. We'll perform a comprehensive diagnosis to pinpoint the root cause—whether it's a simple filter change, thermostat calibration, or a more involved repair—to get your system running in proper, longer cycles.

We prioritize emergency calls, especially during our intense summer heatwaves when a broken AC is more than an inconvenience—it's a health concern. We offer same-day or next-day service for urgent repairs. Our local presence in Frankston means we can often get to you faster than larger companies from outside the area. When you call, we'll assess the situation and dispatch a technician as promptly as possible to diagnose the issue, whether it's a sudden refrigerant leak or a system that won't start, and get your cool air flowing again.
