What is the 3 minute rule for AC?

The 3-minute rule is about AC system cycles. It suggests you shouldn't turn your AC on and off rapidly. Letting the system run for a few minutes before shutting it off helps prevent damage. This is more for home systems but good practice.

This rule is similar to the AC rule for cars. It's a way to think about whether to repair or replace your home's HVAC system. If a repair is a large percentage of a new system's cost, replacement might be better. We focus on auto AC here.
