6 POSSIBLE REASONS WHY YOUR AIR CONDITIONER RUNS CONSTANTLY
On a normal summer day, you can expect your air conditioner to run somewhere around 15 minutes during every cooling cycle. But if your cooling cycles are lasting 30 minutes, an hour, or all day long, there’s a good chance that something is amiss with your system. Today we’re going to talk about what might be happening when your air conditioner runs constantly and what can be done to solve the problem!
