\"service-checkmark\"Your air conditioning system attends a type of summer school. You want to make sure your air conditioner performs the best work during each summer, otherwise it\u2019s time to either have the AC repaired or maybe replaced.<\/p>\n

We recommend you give your air conditioning system a report card during the fall. A simple grade for how well it did over the previous summer. This will help you choose what to do about it during the cooler season and if you need the assistance of an Athens, GA HVAC<\/a> contractor to help with the future of cooling in your house.<\/p>\n

Think about the cooling in your house during the summer, and then give your air conditioning system a grade, from \u201cA\u201d to \u201cF.\u201d<\/p>\n

Done? Okay, let\u2019s look at what these grades might mean for your home\u2019s comfort system:<\/p>\n

Grade \u201cA\u201d\u2014Great Cooling, No Complaints<\/h2>\n

If you didn\u2019t hesitate to award your air conditioner a perfect grade (or even an \u201cA\u2013\u201d), you\u2019re probably in good shape for the next summer. The air conditioner ran when required, gave no signs of trouble, and cooled the house to the level you needed it to. In fact, we\u2019d wager that one of the reasons you could give your AC such a good grade is because you have it professionally maintained each year with our Energy Savings Plans. Keep it up! With this kind of service, you may be handing out \u201cA\u201ds for many summers to come.<\/p>\n

Grade \u201cB\u201d\u2014Solid Performance, Could\u2019ve Been Better<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s good \u2026 but how<\/em> could it have been better? Did the air conditioner have a few days when it wasn\u2019t overcoming the heat the way you expected? Maybe it\u2019s costing a bit more to run than usual (although you probably spent more time indoors). Do you have worries that the AC is getting up in age and maybe you won\u2019t be able to rely on it in the future? If there\u2019s anything that seems off with the system, schedule a repair check in the fall.<\/p>\n

Grade \u201cC\u201d\u2014Passable But Mediocre<\/h2>\n

If you gave your AC a \u201cC\u201d rating, which is a passing grade but shows significant room for improvement, something to consider is the age of the system. If it\u2019s more than 10 years old, we recommend you give serious thought to a replacement system. If you gave the \u201cC\u201d because the air conditioner needed a repair during the summer, this may not be a disqualifying issue\u2014but stay vigilant about how often you need future repairs. A repair a year is too often.<\/p>\n

Grade \u201cD\u201d\u2014Too Many Problems<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re getting cool air, but the AC just isn\u2019t one you can trust to hold up each time it comes on. You\u2019ve needed to repair it, and you have serious reservations about how it will hold up. We strongly advise calling us to inspect the system and see if it either needs a major repair or a full replacement.<\/p>\n

Grade \u201cF\u201d\u2014Dead Air Conditioner<\/h2>\n

Call us to replace the system. In fact, you probably already called once you gave the system an \u201cF.\u201d Because the air conditioner isn\u2019t working at all!<\/em><\/p>\n
