Is an AC compressor supposed to run all the time?
An undersized system struggles to cool your home, which is why it’s running constantly. This constant running will reduce pressure in the evaporator (cooling) coil until it freezes over. This is dangerous because the freezing can cause liquid refrigerant to flood back to the compressor and damage it.
Why is my AC continuously running?
One of the most common reasons an air conditioner runs constantly is restricted airflow. Your AC needs a certain amount of airflow in order to supply your home with cool air. If something is blocking the airflow to your AC, your system will run longer in an effort to bring in a sufficient amount of air.
