Troubleshoot Your Constantly Running Air Conditioner

Air conditioner running constantly signals an underlying issue. The condenser coils may be dirty, restricting airflow and causing the compressor to work harder. Dirty filters can also impede airflow. Low refrigerant levels due to leaks can decrease cooling efficiency, making the system run longer. Oversized units cool too quickly, causing short cycles that prevent dehumidification. Malfunctioning thermostats may not turn the system off when the desired temperature is reached. Airflow obstructions, such as blocked vents or dirty ducts, can also hinder cooling. Identifying and addressing these issues can restore the air conditioner’s efficiency and prevent premature wear.
