When an air conditioner is working properly, the system should start up and run until the temperature in the home matches your preset temperature on the thermostat. Then, it should shut down for a short break. If yours is running constantly and rarely shuts off it at all, AC replacement in Chesapeake and the surrounding areas may be necessary.

Short cycling could also indicate the need for central air conditioning replacement. That happens when an AC system starts up only to immediately shut down again. It’s a surefire sign that something’s not right, and it could mean the system needs to be replaced.
