The way in which ACs cool is by cycling on and off. Perhaps you believe your AC is cycling too frequently. The usual cause of such short-cycling is that the cooling power of the unit is too great for the area being cooled. There are other causes--see https://inspectapedia.com/aircond/Air_Conditioner_Short_Cycling.php
