Landers Refrigeration | HVAC Services in Lorton, VA 22079

Short cycling is a common issue in our area often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, or a faulty thermostat. It puts excessive wear on your compressor and wastes energy. Our technicians will diagnose the root cause—checking refrigerant levels, electrical components, and system sizing—to provide a repair that restores normal, efficient operation and protects your equipment.

Yes, that's a classic sign of an air handler fan failure, a frequent repair we handle for Lorton homeowners. The blower motor or capacitor in your indoor air handler may have failed. We'll promptly test the electrical components and motor to identify the issue. Replacing the faulty part restores proper airflow to keep your home comfortable and prevents strain on the rest of your HVAC system.

Ignoring short cycling or a failed air handler fan is most urgent. Short cycling can lead to a complete compressor failure—a very costly repair. A non-functioning air handler stops all heating or cooling and can cause the system to overheat. Addressing these issues quickly with Landers Refrigeration prevents minor problems from becoming major breakdowns, especially during our hot summers and cold winters.
