HVAC Repair Somerset NJ | Call Franklin Air Conditioning & Heating

Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by an oversized unit, a faulty thermostat, or refrigerant problems. We'll perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause. In many cases, a targeted repair, like fixing a refrigerant leak or replacing a sensor, can resolve it. However, if the system is old and chronically inefficient, a replacement with a properly sized, modern unit may be the most cost-effective long-term solution for your home's comfort and energy bills.

Key signs include reduced cooling power, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, and a hissing sound from the unit. For Somerset residents, a leak is more than an inconvenience; it forces your system to work much harder to cool your home, leading to higher energy bills and potential compressor failure—a very costly repair. Our technicians are certified to safely locate and seal leaks, then recharge your system with the correct amount of refrigerant to restore efficient, powerful cooling.

Proper installation is critical to prevent these common problems. We don't just swap units; we perform a detailed Manual J load calculation to ensure your new system is the perfect size for your home's layout, insulation, and local climate. We then follow strict manufacturer specifications for installation, including secure refrigerant line connections and precise thermostat calibration. This meticulous approach eliminates the root causes of short cycling and leaks, giving you a reliable, efficient system built for long-term performance in our area.
