Having AC troubles? Don’t suffer the heat for long! We are often called to fix an AC that is running continuously even when it has reached the desired temperature, or when the weather is cooler. Though the problem is not uncommon, you have reason to be concerned. In addition to the unnecessary wear on the unit, you are also likely to receive a high electricity bill. 

10 reasons your AC is not shutting off

Call an experienced AC technician to take a look at your air conditioner. There is more than one reason for this problem and it takes a trained eye to find it. We have listed some common reasons an AC will not turn off or is cycling continuously.

  1. Faulty thermostat
  2. Clogged air filter
