My AC unit (located in attic with condenser on side of house) is cycling on and off very frequently. It turns on for about 1 minute then shuts off for about 5-7 miuntes. When it turns on, it does blow cool air, however it is not staying on long enough to correctly cool the upstairs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
