Can too much Freon cause short cycling?
Freon is gone. Another common cause of short cycling is low levels of refrigerant. Like a clogged air filter, low refrigerant can produce excess stress on your AC system and make it work harder. And it also causes overheating, which could lead to the frequent turning on and off.
How often should my AC kick on and off?
Ideally, a properly operating air conditioner should cycle for roughly 15 to 20 minutes, two to three times per hour.

Do you need to recharge your Freon in your car?
One thing I notice with others is they think freon is being used up by the car, but the truth is, it is constantly being cycled through the AC system, so there is little to no need to recharge your freon unless there is a leak.
How often does your AC turn on and off?
Depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, this could mean that your system turns on and off every 5 to 10 minutes. An air conditioner that is switching on and off repeatedly is bad for both homeowners and your AC system.
