Are you looking for a new heater or AC installation to ensure that your home stays comfortable around the year? We’d like to recommend that you look into an option you may not have considered before: a heat pump.

Heat pumps are rapidly becoming very popular options for comfort in Florida because they’re well-suited to the climate. A heat pump works similarly to an air conditioner, except it has the neat feature that it can reverse the direction it works so that instead of pulling heat out of your home and exhausting it to the outside, it draws heat from outside your home and exhausts it inside. 

Want to know more? Let’s examine some of the best reasons you may wish to consider a heat pump when you’re thinking of a heating and air conditioning replacement in Pace.

My AC Shuts Down Early! What’s Wrong?

Monday, August 26th, 2024

How long should your AC run? As long as necessary to reach the temperature you set on the thermostat. In most cases that will take from 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll get used to how your AC runs through cooling cycles through the summer, hearing the hum of the compressor periodically as it kicks on to start cooling your home.

If your AC’s regular pattern of cooling cycles changes so that the unit keeps shutting down early after less than 10 minutes, and then turns back on again a short time later, you’ve got a problem. This situation is called short cycling, and there are several possible causes. No matter the cause, short cycling on its own will wear down your AC unit and waste power. 

Below we will examine some of the common causes of short-cycling to help you know when it’s time to call the Peaden Pros for AC repair in Pensacola.
