PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Short cycling — when your aircon turns on and off rapidly — wastes energy, reduces cooling effectiveness, and stresses the compressor. Common causes include low refrigerant, a faulty thermostat, or an oversized unit. Our Hartbeespoort technicians can diagnose the root cause and prevent premature compressor failure.
