Comfort in a home is about more than just the correct temperature. The correct humidity balance is also crucial. Air that’s too dry or air that’s too humid makes it more difficult for people to feel comfortable. High humidity is specifically a problem in hot weather since the moisture levels make it harder for the human body to release heat and naturally cool off.

You have an air conditioning system in your house to help lower the temperature during the heat. Does the AC also contribute to controlling the humidity? We’re going to look into this in greater detail and offer our recommendations for humidity control in Madison County.

Your air conditioning system isn’t a water-using appliance like the water heater, washing machine, or dishwasher in your house.

Is Your AC Turning On and Off Too Rapidly? Here’s What’s Happening

Monday, July 3rd, 2023

You normally don’t think much about your air conditioning during the summer months once you’ve got it set. It turns on when you need it to, runs for a stretch, shuts down, and then turns back on whenever the house starts to get too warm again.

Except now, something different is happening … The AC is turning on and off far more often. It turns on, only runs for a short time, then shuts off, only to turn back on again a short time later. You’re always noticing the air conditioner turning on because it’s happening so often.

Is this a problem, and what exactly is causing it? Do you need to call us for AC repair in Franklin County? We’ll look into this problem (yes, it is a problem) more below.

This is a common problem that people run into with their air conditioning systems. The AC appears to be working normally, and there’s cool air coming out of it, but the whole house isn’t getting the amount of cooling it’s supposed to. This uneven cooling can mean some rooms are too hot, usually rooms more distant from the center of the house.

A good central AC is supposed to cool the entire house—it’s designed and sized for that purpose. If you got an AC that can’t evenly cool your home, there are several possibilities that may require replacing the air conditioner or, in most cases, calling our team for air conditioning repair in Hartwell, GA

Air conditioning refrigerant, sometimes referred to by the brand name “Freon,” is an essential part of how a cooling system works. If refrigerant begins to leak out of an AC system, it’s a serious problem that will first affect the performance of the air conditioner and eventually cause it to completely break down.

If you believe your air conditioner is losing refrigerant to leaks, what should you do? Is there a way you can repair it yourself?

The simple answer is that you should shut down your air conditioner and call for professionals to come and repair it. You cannot fix this problem yourself for several reasons. In fact, it isn’t even legal for you to repair it yourself, and there’s a threat of injury. We’ll get into the details below, but if you’re ready to call us for AC repair in Hart County to get your leaking AC fixed, please do so now.
