During Ohio’s hot, humid weather, you want your air conditioner to function properly. The team at Wright Heating & Cooling knows that regular air conditioner maintenance can improve your HVAC unit’s performance, lower energy usage, and prevent the need for air conditioner replacement. Their knowledge comes from more than 65 years of experience providing homes and businesses throughout northeast Ohio  with reliable and affordable air conditioning service and repair.

Here, the professionals at this Kent-based heating and cooling company share three reasons why regular air conditioner maintenance is important: 

• Improves Efficiency: Air conditioner filters can get clogged with debris over time, and clogged or dirty filters can prevent steady airflow; this eventually results in a significant decrease in air conditioner performance. To improve the HVAC unit’s efficiency and ensure normal airflow, clean or replace the filters every one to two months during the cooling season. Keep your outdoor condenser free from weeds, flowers and mulch.   
• Lowers Energy Consumption: When air conditioners are in need of repair, the unit’s components have to work harder to supply a steady airflow. If you regularly clean air conditioner filters and maintain a clean condenser, you can avoid a higher energy bill and enjoy a properly-functioning unit at the same time. In fact, maintenance can lower the air conditioner’s energy consumption by 5% to 15%!
• Saves Money: Regular air conditioner maintenance can save you a significant amount of money in the long run. If you routinely clean filters, coils, and drains, you will greatly decrease the likelihood that the unit will need to be replaced.

Although you can perform some air conditioner maintenance on your own, it’s always best to get help from a professional. If you live in northeast Ohio, the team at Wright Heating & Cooling is standing by to help. Wright Heating & Cooling also specializes in furnace repair, commercial HVAC repair and installation.
