Patton Air Conditioning & Heating | HVAC Services in Waldorf, MD 20601

This is called short cycling, a common issue in our area often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, or low refrigerant. It puts severe stress on your system, leading to higher bills and premature wear. Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause—whether it's a simple fix or a sizing issue—and provide a reliable repair to restore proper, efficient operation.

This symptom often points to an air handler fan failure, another frequent problem we see in Waldorf homes. The blower motor may have failed, a capacitor could be bad, or there's an electrical issue. It's crucial to address this quickly to avoid overheating your system. Call us for a prompt diagnosis and expert repair to get your warm air flowing again safely.

Proactive maintenance is key. Our bi-annual tune-up service is designed for our local climate and specifically checks for issues that lead to short cycling and fan failures. We clean critical components, check electrical connections, test capacitors and motors, and ensure proper refrigerant levels. This regular care improves efficiency, prevents sudden breakdowns, and extends the life of your system.
