Long Runtime in Mild Weather – Cooling That Won’t Quit

Sometimes a system runs for hours when the weather doesn’t demand it. That’s a red flag that it’s struggling.
Chatterbox compares outdoor temperature to system runtime to learn what “normal” looks like for your unit. When cooling runs far too long for mild conditions, we know there’s an issue—maybe low charge, weak airflow, or thermostat calibration.
After correction, cooling time dropped by 30%, and indoor comfort actually improved because the system could cycle properly again.
