This is called short cycling, a common issue in our area often caused by a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Short cycling puts immense stress on your compressor. We'll perform a full diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—be it a simple cleaning, a refrigerant recharge, or component repair—to restore proper operation, improve efficiency, and prevent costly future damage.

Air handler fan failures are a frequent local call. It can be due to a failed capacitor, a worn-out motor, or electrical issues. Yes, this is an urgent repair. Without the fan, your system can't circulate cool or warm air, leading to discomfort and potential overheating of other components, which can cause a complete system shutdown. We prioritize these repairs to restore your comfort quickly.

The best defense is proactive care. We recommend a professional tune-up twice a year (spring and fall) to catch issues early. For you to do: change your air filter monthly, keep outdoor units clear of debris, and ensure indoor vents aren't blocked. This simple routine helps prevent the dirt buildup and strain that lead to fan failures and short cycling, keeping your system running smoothly through every season.
