We&#8217;re not just talking about a simple choice, even an AC that&#8217;s just a few years old could require replacement if it&#8217;s functioning so poorly, inefficiently, and uncomfortably that it&#8217;s beyond hope of repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to make things easy for our customers, which is why we&#8217;re going to cover this topic in a fun and simple way. Just take our quiz below and see which category you fall into.

The answer will be compiled at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Old Is Your System?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A. Less than 5 years old.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>B. 5-10 years old.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>C. 10+ years old.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Often Do You Schedule Maintenance for Your System?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A. Regularly (Yearly)<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>B. Occasionally<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>C. Rarely<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is There an Unknown Reason Behind Spiking Energy Bills?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A.

Yes, it&#8217;s significant and sudden.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does the System Make Noises or Emit Foul Odors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A.

Yes<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>B. Mostly<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>C. No<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Great job! You&#8217;ve gotten this far which means you&#8217;ve got a general idea of how well your air conditioner works. Now we need to figure out the condition it&#8217;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&#8217;s air conditioner might need imminent replacement. Let&#8217;s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mostly A&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you answered with mostly A&#8217;s, then congratulations! Your air conditioner is in pretty good shape and doesn&#8217;t really require replacement. It likely doesn&#8217;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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mostly B&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you answered with mostly B&#8217;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&#8217;ve got more B&#8217;s and A&#8217;s than C&#8217;s, then you&#8217;ll be better off by scheduling a repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mostly C&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you answered this quiz with mostly C&#8217;s, then you&#8217;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. Choose our team to walk you through this process so it&#8217;s as easy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule an appointment today with The A\/C Guy of Tampa Bay Inc.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just take our quiz below and see which category you fall into.<\/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":[156,14,100],"class_list":["post-1397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-ac-contractors","tag-air-conditioning-replacement","tag-tampa"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1397"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1397"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1403,"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1397\/revisions\/1403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acguyoftampa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
