Your air conditioning system doesn\u2019t go to school and come back with report cards. But we recommend you give your AC a report card at the end of every summer because it\u2019s a good way for you to analyze the system\u2019s performance. Fall is an ideal time to make upgrades or even a full replacement to your AC, and the grade you give the air conditioner will help you think about your future home cooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the classic grading system of \u201cA\u201d through \u201cF\u201d and answer this question: \u201cHow would I rate the overall performance of my air conditioning this summer?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I give my AC an \u201cA\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Great! And we would wager that two of the reasons you were\nsatisfied with your air conditioner\u2019s cooling over the summer was it was professionally\ninstalled and you scheduled maintenance for it in spring. Keep up with what you\u2019re\ndoing: regular professional maintenance is the best service you can have for an\nair conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uhm, a \u201cB\u201d sounds about right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not too bad. But ask yourself why you\u2019re holding back from\nthat 4.0 grade. Do you think the AC is starting to decline? Does it seem to\ntake longer to cool down the house? You may have a hidden repair problem or a\nsystem that\u2019s getting up in years. Either way, during your next maintenance\nappointment, ask your technician about what might be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I give it a disappointing \u201cC\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A \u201cC\u201d may still count as passing in school, but it\u2019s not\nwhat you want to give your air conditioner. Sounds like you had to call for\nrepairs during this summer, or you\u2019ve noticed for certain that the quality of\nyour household comfort is dropping. Or maybe the AC is making more noise than before.\nWe recommend you call us soon to see if the system needs repairs\u2014it may be on\nits way to an actual breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s bad: \u201cD\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You are not getting the cooling performance you deserve from your air conditioner and you know it. It\u2019s breaking down regularly, and the house is usually too hot. The air conditioner either needs repairs right away or it\u2019s time to schedule a replacement. You shouldn\u2019t put up with inferior cooling like this and the constant risk the AC will stop working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big fat \u201cF\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In other words, your air conditioner is not working\u2014and may\nnever work again. Call us right away to get started on an AC installation that\nwill get a proud \u201cA\u201d every summer for many summers to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
