It\u2019s easy to take an air conditioning system for granted\u2014a utility that\u2019s always there when you need it\u2014but age and wear eventually overtake any AC. Even the best maintenance won\u2019t keep an air conditioner running forever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that summer is ending, we recommend you take stock of your air conditioning system\u2019s performance over the season. Think about how well it cooled the house, how dependable it was, if it needed repairs or other services, how much it cost to run, its age, etc. Take all this information, and then give your air conditioner a grade on the standard \u201cA through F\u201d scale you remember from school. Then check our reference guide below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cA\u201d \u2014 An AC in excellent shape<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you give your air conditioning system an \u201cA\u201d, then you likely had zero problems with it. It got the house cool quickly, maintained the temperatures you wanted, cost about the same to run as before, and required no repairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All good! But you want it to keep earning those \u201cA\u201ds, so make sure you keep up with regular maintenance. One of the reasons ACs can get \u201cA\u201ds is because they have professionals keeping them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cB\u201d \u2014 An AC that\u2019s doing fine, could be better<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You didn\u2019t give your AC the top grade, but the second-best. That likely means you had the cooling you needed from it, but something is holding you back from giving it a full 4.0 GPA. What is it? This is important to know, because it can lead you to a possible need for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/service-areas\/wayne-pa\" target=\"_blank\">AC repair in Wayne, PA<\/a>. Strange sounds, the AC shutting off early a few times, a room that was too warm\u2014all possible warning signs to pay attention to.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cC\u201d \u2014 A pretty \u201cmeh\u201d air conditioner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we\u2019re getting into troubled territory. Your AC is \u2026 fine? Okay? Just getting by? None of this is good news, and you shouldn\u2019t try to coast by with a \u201cC\u201d, even if it\u2019s technically a passing grade. There\u2019s room for improvement, and the improvement may be an AC repair you\u2019ve put off for too long. Or you may have neglected regular maintenance. That will get an AC down to a \u201cC\u201d grade fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cD\u201d \u2014 An air conditioner on the edge of the abyss<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u201cD\u201d isn\u2019t falling, but it\u2019s super close. If you gave your AC a \u201cD\u201d, you must\u2019ve run into some significant problems with it this summer, like an expensive repair or days when the system couldn\u2019t handle the heat and left larger parts of the house too warm. If the AC is more than 10 years old, you probably need to replace it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cF\u201d \u2014 As in a failed air conditioner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to schedule an air conditioner replacement, and you know it. Fortunately, fall is a good time to schedule it. Call our team and we\u2019ll help you get an \u201cA+\u201d air conditioner for next summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Michall Daimion Heating &amp; Air Conditioning, Inc. has been the Main Line\u2019s Premier Service Provider since 1976. <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>Call us for help with your AC needs.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that summer is ending, we recommend you take stock of your air conditioning system\u2019s performance over the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[23,87,89,98],"class_list":["post-635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioner-repair","tag-air-conditioning-system-maintenance","tag-air-conditioning-system-replacement","tag-wayne"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":638,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions\/638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
