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.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Thanks Clayton and Goettl!
The following day, Jesus Gloria came out to inspect and service my HVAC. Again, I couldn't have asked for better service. Jesus was knowledgeable and took extra steps to ensure there were no further issues with my unit.
I wouldn't think twice about using Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing again!
We discussed options and agreed that a detailed lcleaning and sewing of all the ducts should eliminate this problem. He discussed financing and, and returned the following morning to make all the arrangements. He also advised us not to continuously run the A/C fans when the unit was not cooling, which seems to have helped with the humidity already, even though the duct work isn’t scheduled for a few days hence.
It was a pleasure to work with a knowledgeable A/C technician who could quickly isolate the cause of our problem and arrange a solution.
Alex was great with tune up and customer service!
Darean Guerra was awesome and fotnthe job done. Thank you!
Jesus Gloria – Goettl Plumbing & A/C
Jesus Gloria was many things: professional, proficient, polite, easy to talk to, and a true pleasure to have in my home.
He’s exactly the kind of professional you want handling your service needs. Jesus explained everything clearly and patiently—no jargon, no pressure. Let’s be honest, customers like me can be tough—we want 5-star service on a shoestring budget—but Jesus never missed a beat.
I made several changes during the project—adding services, canceling others—and Jesus handled it all without delay. No need to call the office or rework paperwork. He updated the order, adjusted pricing, and gave me a clear face-to-face explanation on the spot. All same day.
That’s outstanding service.
Goettl may not be the cheapest company out there, but they’re professionals who exceed expectations and hire top-tier people like Jesus. That’s why I’ll remain a loyal customer.
Jesus Gloria has my back—and I have his.
Thank you
UPDATE: one of the area service managers contacted me after my review and apologized and stated they wanted to rectify the situation and asked about my service quote from the company I decided to go with. He wanted to do the service at the same price and deduct the $428 I previously paid for diagnosis and throw in 2 years of maintenance. He told me he would talk with his boss and call me the next morning. He told me to email the other quote. I emailed him and he gave me his number. I never heard from him again! He never called me the next day as he said he would or replied to my email at all. So I am now adding that they do not keep their word either to this review! Horrible way to do business. Go with ASC heating and air where they know how to treat people with compassion, keep their word, give free second opinions, have veteran discounts, great customer service- Marsha is great and so is Ron 😊
Nathan came by promptly and inspected plumbing, and caught an issue under warranty for us!
Just an update, Andrew Morgan came and rejuvenated our system and did a wonderful job. His communication was clear and efficient.
07/23/25 Update. After getting the new larger duct to the master bedroom, it still wasn’t cooling properly. Goettl sends out another tech that actually knew what he was doing. Tech Billy McDermott found the problem. There was an opening on the back of the unit in attic that was blowing cold air into the attic. Once he sealed it up, low and behold the cold air is now coming into the living areas and the set temp is holding. I am leaving this rating at one star because after several techs coming out and telling us it was an airflow issue and we spent an extra $6K on insulation, come to find out none of the techs including a supervisor could find the problem. From now on if we have issues with HVAC, I want Billy to come to our house.
AC not working again since Friday night (8/8/25). I contacted Goettl as instructed, not satisfied with the response, still waiting for resolution and contact/communication from a manager.

7/30/25 Update:
Goettl assistant install supervisor Nacho and his crew (Manny & Julio) assessed the entire system again today. They were polite and professional and made sure all our concerns were heard and addressed. It is believed the issue has been identified and fixed. Thanks Goettl for making the situation right!
7/22/25 Update:
Issues continue. Techs to arrive again today. Updated review to follow pending outcome.
7/2025 Update:
Goettl service technicians have returned to assist with some issues. Both Ian P. and Will M. we're both very professional it was believed issues were resolved. Dispatcher Betty was also able to hear my issues and arrange for a tech to arrive as quickly as possible.

Initial review 2/2025:
Jorge "George" was respectful and easy to communicate with. He listened and answered all our questions. Informed us of what and how Goettl could do with the 20+yr old system in our home, and gave us time and space make the best decision for us. So far very pleased with Goettl's professional conduct and standards.
Thanks you
What stood out the most was their attention to detail and genuine care for customer satisfaction. They took the time to assess my system thoroughly, offered honest recommendations, and completed the work efficiently without cutting corners. My home is now noticeably more comfortable, and I feel confident knowing everything was handled by true professionals.
If you’re looking for reliable, top-quality HVAC service, I highly recommend Goettl. They truly live up to their reputation and exceeded my expectations in every way.
Roger came for my rejuvenation appointment. He was very curtious and knowledgeable. I was happy he showed up prompt with great respect to my AC unit and property. I relaly appreciate him and his attention to detail. I would highly recommend him for any of your AC needs.
Jesus Gloria AC service review. He did a great job today and I would highly recommend him for any AC service needs. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. He helped add a surge protector on my outside unit for added protection. I look forward to working with him in the future.
Well, I had some plumbing issues at my residence, and I called "Goettl Plumbing." Great results, too 🤗.
My water wouldn't stay hot, and after contacting Justin at Goettl Plumbing, he sent out Frank, a service technician with over 20 years of plumbing experience. Frank spent a good bit of time studying/ evaluating my plumbing functions, consulted with an on-site Goettl supervisor, and determined my plumbing issues.
After they conferred those issues with Justin, a plan for resolution and payment was determined, and work started the next day.
Greg arrived that morning; accessed the work areas, determined the tools and equipment he needed, and got right to work.
By the end of the day, Greg had installed three (3) Replacement Single Handle Tub/Shower Valves, a Pressure reducing valve, and a Thermal expansion tank with vacuum breaker - - RESULTS: Hot Water 💧
In two days, I witnessed Super Communication, Super Teamwork, and some old-time "1990-1991" Professionalism ... thanks,
"GOETTL Air Conditioning & Plumbing" for A Job Well Done 👏🏼
After note. Cameron came back by a day later to check on readings he wasn't able to get on first appointment. I have high confidence in his work. I'm very likely to work with them again
Brayan and Marcos did an awesome job on the new ac installation. Installed with no issues and has been on ever since. Perfect time with summer coming up. Walked through and job was very clean and organized. Great work ethic. Great guys.
Update - our air conditioner went out today (10/26/23) and JEHAD showed up to repair the issue but the issue was bigger than expected. Tomorrow we will have a brand new system! Goettl is an EPIC firm that treats customers right. Thank you again JEHAD for going above and beyond.
Goettl is the epitome of what excellent customer service is! Our Drain King, DAREAN, addressed all of our questions and concerns and not only unclogged our drain but went above and beyond to show us our drains leading to the street were free and clear of any other issues. Thank you Darean and thank you Goettl for a great experience!
Update: great experience with Edgar Loredo who kept it real with us and was very transparent. I appreciate his honesty and recommendations. Will be requesting him as our technician in the future if we choose to use Goettl
