The Answer
Great job! You’ve gotten this far which means you’ve got a general idea of how well your air conditioner works. Now we need to figure out the condition it’s in compared to other systems and figure out what the best solution might be. For instance, your AC might be in perfect shape and just requires maintenance, whereas someone else’s air conditioner might need imminent replacement. Let’s find out!
Mostly A’s
If you answered with mostly A’s, then congratulations! Your air conditioner is in pretty good shape and doesn’t really require replacement. It likely doesn’t require repairs either, which means you might be better off just scheduling an annual maintenance appointment so that it stays working as well as it has been. Great job, take a load off and enjoy the summer!
Mostly B’s
If you answered with mostly B’s on this quiz, then you might want to look into repairs or even consider a replacement soon. Depending on how old your system is and how expensive the fix might be, repairs or replacement are both viable options. But if you’ve got more B’s and A’s than C’s, then you’ll be better off by scheduling a repair.
Mostly C’s
If you answered this quiz with mostly C’s, then you’re definitely in the range of replacing your air conditioner. Luckily, there are several models available that are both affordable and extremely efficient, giving you a plethora of choices to choose from.
