MK Willcox Heating & Air | Local HVAC Repair in Lake City, FL

Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. It strains your system and hikes up bills. We'll perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—checking refrigerant levels, electrical components, and airflow—then provide the precise repair needed to restore normal, efficient cycles and protect your equipment.

We use advanced electronic leak detectors and ultraviolet dye to accurately locate even the smallest leaks in your system. Once found, we repair the leak according to manufacturer standards, then evacuate and recharge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant specified for your model. This ensures optimal cooling efficiency and prevents further damage, saving you money on repeated refills.

Preventative maintenance is key. We recommend biannual tune-ups: in spring for your AC and fall for your heater. Our service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant pressure, calibrating your thermostat, inspecting electrical connections, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive care can prevent most leaks and short-cycling issues, improve efficiency, and extend the life of your system in our Florida climate.
