You get used to the way that your AC turns on and off—what’s known as its cooling cycle. An air conditioner cycles on when the thermostat sends a request for cooling, first turning on the blower fan and then the compressor. Once the thermostat registers the cooling has reached the target temperature, it signals the AC to cycle down, shutting off the blower fan and the compressor.
If you notice that your air conditioner is staying on for much longer, rarely cycling down, something is wrong. You may need to contact us for AC repair to resolve an issue in the HVAC system. You don’t want the air conditioner to continue to run, wasting power and making your home too cold.
