5 Benefits of Routine Air Conditioner Maintenance
Are you considering scheduling air conditioner maintenance for your home? With the scorching temperatures we experience, especially during the summer months, ensuring your AC system is in top shape is crucial. If you haven’t scheduled air conditioning maintenance yet, don’t worry—it’s never too late to prioritize your air conditioner’s health.
At Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we understand the significance of routine maintenance for your AC system. Let’s explore why regular maintenance is essential and why you should schedule it promptly.
1. Improved Reliability
Your air conditioner works hard to keep your home comfortable, especially in hot climates. Over time, this constant use can lead to wear and tear on the system. Routine maintenance helps find and resolve potential issues early, ensuring they do not escalate into major problems. By ensuring your AC system is well-maintained, you can rely on it to function efficiently when needed.
Preventing Costly Repairs
By scheduling regular AC maintenance, you can prevent minor problems from becoming significant ones requiring costly repairs. It saves you money and ensures your AC system operates at its best, keeping your home comfortable year-round.
Improving System Longevity
Routine maintenance can prolong your air conditioning system’s lifespan. By addressing minor issues early, you prevent them from escalating into major problems that could cause your system to fail prematurely. Components such as coils, filters, and fans are inspected and cleaned during maintenance, ensuring they function optimally and reduce the overall strain on your system.
Ensuring Consistent Cooling Performance
Regular maintenance helps your air conditioner maintain consistent cooling performance throughout its lifespan. By ensuring that all components are in good working order, your system can effectively control your home’s temperature, providing a comfortable environment regardless of the external conditions. This consistency is essential for your comfort and well-being, especially during the sweltering summer months.
2. Increased Energy Efficiency
Cooling costs can increase, especially in regions with high temperatures like the Southwest. An inefficient AC system can impact your energy bills. Regular maintenance helps optimize your system’s performance, ensuring it operates efficiently. It can provide lower energy consumption and reduced cooling costs, saving you money in the long run.
Reducing Energy Consumption
One of the most significant benefits of routine air conditioning maintenance is lower energy bills. It translates into cost savings on your monthly utility bills, saving money over time.
An efficiently running AC system consumes less energy, lowering utility bills. Routine maintenance helps optimize your system’s performance, ensuring it operates efficiently. This maintenance is essential if your AC system often runs for extended periods.
Environmental Impact
A well-maintained air conditioning system saves you money and reduces its environmental impact. By operating more efficiently, your system consumes less electricity, reducing the demand for energy production. Reducing energy usage helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and lowers your carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
3. Extended System Lifespan

Replacing an air conditioning unit can be a significant expense. Regular maintenance can help prolong your AC’s lifespan by addressing issues that could lead to premature failure. By investing in routine maintenance, you not only ensure optimal performance but also prolong your system’s life, ultimately saving you money on costly replacements.
Investing in Longevity
Replacing an AC can be a significant expense. Scheduled maintenance can help extend your system’s life by addressing issues that could lead to premature failure. Scheduling maintenance now can save you from replacing your system sooner than expected.
Ensuring Continuous Comfort
A well-maintained AC provides consistent and reliable cooling, keeping your home comfortable even during hot days. By prioritizing maintenance, you can enjoy uninterrupted comfort throughout the year.
Detecting Potential Issues Early
During routine maintenance, HVAC technicians inspect your system for any signs of wear and tear or potential problems. Identifying these issues early can be addressed before they escalate into major, costly repairs.
Optimizing System Performance
Regular maintenance includes cleaning and tuning your AC to ensure it operates at peak performance. This optimization improves energy efficiency and reduces the strain on components, which can help prevent breakdown. By investing in maintenance now, you can avoid the inconvenience and expense of unexpected AC repairs in the future.
Enhancing Indoor Air Quality
Cleaning or replacing air filters is part of AC maintenance and is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. Dirty filters can harbor allergens, dust, and other particles, which can circulate in your home when the AC is running. Keeping your filters clean can reduce the risk of respiratory issues and ensure that your indoor air is clean and healthy.
4. Health and Indoor Air Quality
Your air conditioning system is vital in maintaining the indoor air quality of your home. Over time, older AC units can accumulate dust, dirt, and other allergens, negatively impacting your health. It is especially true if you suffer from allergies or respiratory issues. A new AC filter can help improve indoor air quality by filtering out these contaminants, ensuring cleaner and healthier air.
Reducing Allergens and Airborne Particles
Cleaning or replacing air filters helps reduce the buildup of allergens and airborne particles in your home. It is particularly beneficial for those with respiratory issues or allergies.
Preventing Microbial and Mildew Growth
Proper maintenance helps prevent microbial and mildew growth in your AC system, which can negatively impact indoor air quality. Keeping your system clean and well-maintained ensures the air circulating in your home is clean and healthy.
5. Cost Savings in the Long Run
While the upfront cost of purchasing and installing a new air conditioning system may seem daunting, it can ensure significant cost savings in the long run. Newer AC units are more energy-efficient, meaning they consume less energy to cool your home than older models. It can lower monthly energy bills, helping you save money over time. Additionally, new AC systems require less frequent repairs and maintenance, reducing overall costs.
Avoiding Emergency Repairs
You can avoid costly emergency repairs with maintenance. Identifying and addressing issues early prevents them from escalating into significant problems that require immediate attention.
Maximizing Warranty Coverage
Many AC manufacturers ask for proof of regular maintenance to honor warranty claims. Keeping up with maintenance ensures your warranty remains valid, saving you money on future repairs.

I have recommended your company to a few homeowners I know that are in need of system service and/or repairs. You have gained a customer for as longas I live here in the San Antonio area.




Dylon the plumber came out to check my plumbing. Confirmed my water heater is old enough to be replaced and that some valves are original and are showing some corrosion.
On 7/25 Noe came to my house and confirmed that my A/C needed to be replaced. Austin was able to find a Payment Plan that I qualified for the same day. On 7/26 Christian installed my new A/C unit and a new thermostat. He showed me how to use it and left the manual. Everyone at Goettl was so helpful with this situation and got my A/C replaced and running in just two days!
On 3/9/2024 Jesse came to my house for the heater rejuvenation and to install the Sadie Smart monitor. He was very thorough in explaining how the Smart system works and where he had placed all of the sensors. I had a new filter so he replaced the old one. He also told me that my plan covers filters and I just pay for shipping; I'll remember that when I need a new filter.
On 1/11/25 Jesus came to my house for the annual heater rejuvenation and said my unit is in good shape and running well. I had bought 2 filters before the service in March 2024, one was installed then. Jesus installed the one I had on hand and reminded me that my plan covers filters. He was also thorough in going over the readings he had taken.
On 5/3/25 Michael came to my house for the annual plumbing inspection provided with my Sadie Guard Dog Protection.

Mike was absolutely Top Notch!! He arrived at 9:00 pm in a great mood, then took care of business and left in a great mood..Two thumbs up!!

Also, we are apart of the Smart Sadie Program and just received our yearly plumbing rejuvenation and we had the pleasure of meeting our Tech, “Frank M”. He was so knowledgeable and taught me and my Husband so many things we didn’t know which we value so much as we are new home owners and are just kind of wingin’ it! You can really tell that the Techs and the company genuinely cares about their Clients, and I will be requesting Frank M to service the Plumbing needs within my home from this point on! Frank is the man, and we loved him!(:
So now we have Christian and Daniel for our HVAC maintenance and servicing and Frank M for all our Plumbing Needs! We have an amazing team and I’m sure that other Clients feel the same way about their Techs as well!
Love this Company!


We’ve been Goettl customers for years and have always appreciated their service, but Kevin Edwards truly raised the bar. During his visit yesterday, Kevin showed outstanding attention to detail and technical expertise. He thoroughly inspected every part of our HVAC system, documenting his findings with photos and clearly explaining issues that had gone unnoticed through several previous service visits.
Kevin discovered that our HVAC system had been improperly installed when the home was built—something no other technician had identified. He explained how that flaw had created a chain of problems affecting the furnace, cooling system, and overall efficiency. Because the system uses an outdated refrigerant, repairs weren’t a viable long-term solution, and Kevin guided us toward a responsible upgrade plan.
While no homeowner wants to replace a system after only seven years, we’re grateful Kevin uncovered these hidden issues before they caused a catastrophic failure. His thoroughness, honesty, and professionalism turned a potential headache into peace of mind. Kevin is an exceptional representative of Goettl, and we recommend him without hesitation.

I want to express my complete satisfaction with the work performed by Frank Piusseaux, a technician from Goettl.
For months, several technicians tried to identify the issue with my air conditioning unit, but no one could solve it. However, from the moment Frank arrived, he showed great professionalism and dedication. He took the time to carefully investigate the cause of the problem and determined that the issue was a short circuit in the wiring between the thermostat and the unit.
Thanks to his knowledge and effort, my air conditioning system is now working perfectly.
I truly hope that Goettl recognizes the value of having such a skilled, responsible, and committed employee. Technicians like him make a real difference and deserve special recognition, even a financial incentive, for the value they bring to the company.
Thank you very much, Frank, for your excellent work!





Team Nacho and Brayan installed a 4 ton unit, very professional, very courteous, explained operation as well as answered our questions. Nacho and Brayon cleaned up as if they weren't here. We would certainly utilize their services again.







David and Cesar worked on my water heater and they were all amazing. Great prices and work with me! Will be going to them in the future


-Jesse King

Great communication.
Explained everything in detail.
Took before and after pictures.
















He even went as far as calling Lennox to ask about our warranty on the unit. I am very pleased with attention to detail from Jonathan.
Great guy. Great job.



I called Goettl and set up an appointment.
Mike H arrived on time and with his extreme knowledge and experience, he was able to replace the tank and give my system a much needed flush. Mike was so courteous and polite and answered all my questions and gave me advice on the how and why this happened and how to avoid this in the future.
Thank you Goettl and thank you Mike!

Adam was also very good with our situation. When there was a hang up with the loan company, not due to us or Goettl, he quickly found another to accommodate. He went above and beyond. Thx for making our home cool again.











Update: I accepted your proposal and wow, three days later my house has heat and air. Installation time was a little over five hours with breaks, and all the time your crew worked efficiently and professionally. Nothing left undone. A big THANK YOU for you guys.
Update2: Goetti set up the building permit appointment with the county, and attended the inspection, which past with no issues. Other companies that I have dealt with have not done so much. Furthermore, I did get multiple estimates, and all the other companies had convenient add-on's which proved by the inspection were a unnecessary expense, thus making Geotti price the lowest and most honest of them all. By the way, the heater and a/c have work to perfection and are both very quiet


This past week our service technician was Andrew Morgan and he is such a friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled technician. He spent time making sure the job was done correctly and he explained it in terms that I could understand. Not only is our unit functioning even better than before, I also gained knowledge of how the system works.














I highly recommend Goettl as this is the second time l've used them in less than a year. (2 seperate issues)... and I highly recommend them..anytime and anyday.
They have exceeded to top any expectations I could have ever had with any company.


Jerry also noticed our water pressure was low after flushing toilet then trying to wash hands in bathroom sink which were so he suggested a new pressure regulator as we have had a new better water conditioning system installed. We now have the best water pressure even when using a shower and kitchen sink faucet at the same time. Also Jerry is a master plumber and we appreciate his knowledge and experience. Will definitely call Goettl again when a plumber is needed.
Ralph & Kathy Lesmeister



Darean Guerra today. He arrived on time and took the time to explain what he was going to do. He was very knowledgeable which helped me trust what he was doing. He left his work area clean. I am very pleased with his work.




Now we have a new flange, installed correctly, and ready for the new toilet!








The company is installing a tankless heater and the customer service is outstanding.
I recommend Geottl to all!

I definitely recommend Goettl for all your needs.

Nick was helpful, friendly and professional in scheduling the appointment around my commitments.
I have used Goettl for nearly 20 years for my plumbing and HVAC needs. I recommend them as reliable, professional and easy to work with.

I would recommend your company to anyone looking to put in a new air conditioner.
Thank you so much for all you did for me.

They listened to my issue, were very through, checked for leaks, etc. I’ve lived in Lakeway for 30 years, used MANY local plumbers - but Goettl will definitely get all my business moving forward. HIGHLY recommend!
Ty, Wil & Adrian!

Everyone from the Goettl sales representative Christian, Tech / Advisor Josias recommended a HVAC A/C and Heating system replacement. Technicians team Veronica and her partner.
