What Is AC Short Cycling and Why Is It Dangerous in Sector 2
AC short cycling is defined in Sector 2 as the AC turning on and off frequently, often running for only 2-10 minute cycles, stressing the compressor and wasting energy due to cooling inefficiency.
Short cycling causes severe compressor damage and premature failure, leading to significantly high electricity bills—up to 30% more energy—due to constant high-draw startup surges; this requires an urgent fix.
