Why does my air conditioner keep running after I turn it off?

Why won't my ac unit stop running after I turn it off?

Heating and air conditioning systems are complicated, and sometimes they do random things that make owners scratch their heads. Whether it be not blowing out cold or warm air at the right time or running after you turn it off, it’s easy to think that heating and air conditioning systems have a mind of their own. This is why it’s important to have a quality HVAC company on your side that you can trust and run to when something comes up. A common question that we get from customers is “why does my air conditioner keep on running after I turn it off?” In this resource we will answer this question. 

At Coastal Home Services, we strive to provide our customers with top of the line customer service and care. Being family owned and operated for the last 13 years, we realize that trust is imperative in a relationship, and we want nothing more than to serve you and build that trust. 

 

Why does my air conditioner continue running after I turn it off?

Being a trusted HVAC company in the Crystal Coast area, we get a lot of good questions that deserve to be shared. If you have a nice day where a cool breeze is coming off the coast, it’s a good time to turn off your AC unit, but sometimes it continues to run even after turning it off. This can happen because your system is set to ON instead of AUTO, and a simple switch on the thermostat can do the trick. Another reason this can happen is because there is a delay between turning off the air conditioner unit and the actual system shutting down. 

 

Why won’t my air conditioner stop running?
