This is a common issue we see locally, known as short cycling. It can be caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a refrigerant leak. Short cycling strains your system and increases energy costs. Our technicians will perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause and provide the most effective repair to restore normal, efficient operation.

First, we use specialized tools to locate the exact source of the leak. Simply adding more refrigerant is not a solution. We then repair the leak according to EPA guidelines, which may involve sealing a connection or replacing a component like a coil. Finally, we evacuate the system and recharge it with the precise amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer. This proper repair ensures your system runs efficiently and cools your home effectively.

Watch for these key signs: reduced cooling power despite the system running, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, a noticeable hissing or bubbling sound from the indoor unit, and higher-than-normal energy bills. If you notice any of these, it's important to call for service promptly. A refrigerant leak will only worsen over time, causing further damage to the compressor and leading to a complete system failure.
