What Is AC Short Cycling and Why Is It Dangerous in Al Shahba
AC short cycling is when your AC turns on and off frequently within short intervals (often 2-10 minutes) in Al Shahba heat. This stresses the compressor and wastes energy due to inefficient cooling.
Short cycling severely damages the compressor, leading to premature failure. It also causes high electricity bills, potentially increasing usage by up to 30% due to constant hard startups, requiring urgent repair.
