Local considerations
Cooling seasons are short, so most cooling work is ductless retrofit rather than central system repair. Equipment cycling behaviour in Scarborough reflects that pattern. A system cycling briefly on peak days may be working at capacity and showing its limits rather than short-cycling in the fault sense.
Cooling seasons are short, so most cooling work is ductless retrofit rather than central system repair. In Scarborough that shows up as shorter service life on capacitors, contactors and condenser fan motors than the same parts would see in a milder market.

What should I do before the provider arrives?
