Your HVAC system worked hard all summer long to keep your family cool. Now that you have time to take a breather in between seasons, it\u2019s important to take the pulse of your unit, so to speak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How did your HVAC system cool your home over the summer? Did it make keeping your home cool a breeze, or was it a little more challenging to get comfortable because your unit struggled? If your AC unit didn\u2019t work as well as you expected, it may be time to invest in <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/ac-repair-maintenance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AC repair in Glendale<\/a>. And even if your AC worked great without a single hiccup, maintenance is still important to maintain those impressive results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grade Your AC\u2019s Summer Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You know that kids get report cards from school with letter grades on them, usually from \u201cA\u201d as a top score to \u201cF\u201d as failing. If you graded your AC\u2019s summer performance this year, what grade would you give? Learn more about how to rate your air conditioner and what each grade means.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Grade Letter A<\/strong> \u2013 If you give your air conditioner five stars, that means it performed great all summer long and you had no concerns. With an \u201cA\u201d your air conditioner is either brand new or very well maintained. Keep up with your annual maintenance to maintain that \u201cA\u201d for years to come.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Grade Letter B<\/strong> \u2013 Your AC cools your home pretty well if you give it a \u201cB\u201d for a grade. But, you may have had a hiccup here or there or at least a few concerns. Maybe you heard an unusual sound but nothing actually went wrong. Or maybe you noticed some loss in efficiency due to slightly higher power bills. Either way, a tune-up is a great way to keep your AC in good condition. A tune-up may even take you up to an \u201cA\u201d instead!\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Grade Letter C<\/strong> \u2013 When you look at grades on a report card, a \u201cC\u201d is average. It\u2019s not great, but it\u2019s also not bad. You pass, but not with flying colors. Maybe your air conditioner is still going strong, but unusual sounds are commonplace and you had to have it repaired at some point. That\u2019s not terrible, but it\u2019s time to start weighing the pros and cons. If the cost of repairs gets too high, it may be time for a new unit altogether.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Grade Letter D<\/strong> \u2013 With a D, we suspect that your air conditioner was a real headache this summer. Maybe it broke down more than once or maybe it\u2019s just not keeping your house cool enough. If your unit is older than 10 years, it may be time for a new unit so you can have the reliability of a system that works without any surprises.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Grade Letter F<\/strong> \u2013 We see red flags! Are you trying to suck every drop of life out of your unit before replacing it? Now is the time! Give us a call to learn about energy efficiency rebates and how you can save on a new HVAC unit.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>JMS Air Conditioning and Heating has your back.
