A furnace is a major investment for any Puyallup homeowner. Although it’s not something that will need to be done frequently, most people will face the decision of needing to purchase a new heating system sometime during home ownership.

Short cycling is a term used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) world to explain a situation where a furnace or air conditioner turns on and off too frequently.

Our team at Serenity Air wants you to understand the concept of short cycling, why it can be harmful and costly, what causes the problem, and what you can do about it.
