Hi everyone.

I have a central air conditioning unit in my ranch-style home (full
basement also). Yesterday the AC just kicked off randomly. I checked
the thermostat and it seemed to be functioning ok (it's digital). I
went downstairs to the power switch dedicated to the central air unit
and turned it off, then back on again. The AC kicked back on, stayed
on and started blowing cool air, then kicked back off again 2 minutes
later.

I suspected there was an airflow problem of some type (filter, etc)
but that doesn't appear to be case, at least not as far as I can
tell.

Are there any other common causes for this type of behavior?

Thank you for any responses,
Mike


If your AC condensing unit is equipped with a low
pressure cut off switch, it can make the unit cut
on and off due to a low freon charge. Unless you
know your way around HVAC systems and have the
proper tools and equipment, you should call someone
who does.
