You can expect your air conditioning system to run more often when the outdoor temperature rises. But there’s a difference between an AC running often because it’s needed and running almost all the time. Air conditioning systems are designed to work in cooling cycles that continue until the thermostat has registered that the AC has hit the target temperature on the thermostat, after which the unit will cycle down for a stretch. Most cooling cycles will last 10 to 15 minutes, with a similar period in between cycles.
If your AC is running much longer than 15 minutes and seems to be on most of the time (often leading to a house that’s too cool even for a hot day), then you likely have a malfunctioning system. The AC may be in danger of a full breakdown, and you’ll also face extremely high energy bills from all the extra time the air conditioner is blasting away.
Sometimes there is a simple explanation. In other situations, you’ll need to schedule air conditioner repair in Nashville with professionals.
