Q&A
Why is my AC in Abbeville turning on and off every few minutes (short cycling)?
Short cycling is common here, often caused by our intense heat overworking the system. It can be due to a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, a frozen evaporator coil, or an incorrectly sized unit. This constant stopping and starting wastes energy and can lead to a major breakdown. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic visit so we can pinpoint the exact cause and get your system running smoothly and efficiently again.
My AC is running but not cooling, and I see water around the indoor unit. What's wrong?
That's a classic sign of a clogged condensate drain line, a very frequent issue in Abbeville's humid climate. As your AC removes moisture from the air, the water drains away. When that line clogs with algae or debris, it can cause water damage and shut the system down as a safety measure. We offer thorough drain line cleaning and can install preventative measures like algae tablets to help avoid future clogs.
What kind of AC maintenance do you recommend to prevent these common Abbeville problems?
We strongly recommend bi-annual maintenance—once in spring for your cooling system and once in fall for heating. Our tune-up includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning the condensate drain line and pan, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring the thermostat is calibrated. This proactive care is the best defense against the humidity-related clogs and strain that lead to short cycling, saving you money on repairs and energy bills.
