a/c constantly cycling

i've only noticed it this year but with my climate control set and the fan is blowing at a lower speed i notice the a/c compressor constantly cycling. its annoying as hell hearing the two sides equalize then it fires back up. i just had time to evac & recharge it the other day. it was a lb down so i figured i got it. but still did it again this weekend. the a/c gets plenty cold.

just wondering if anyone else has experienced this??

Could be a pressure switch going bad.

You could have a leak. A lot of times when a a/c system short cycles its because it is low on charge. I would put some guages on it and let it sit for a while. After it sat for a while I would see if the needle has moved. I would also check the coils exspecially the outside one and look for punctures. Also the low speed could be the inside coil is frozen and not allowing the air to come out strongly

If it still has a full charge I would check the pressure switches
