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.

Thank you!!!




Original order of checking thermostat. And why heat would not kick on right away
It was taking several degrees to heat up the house. Air conditioning works great.
He went and checked thermostat and suggested a new thermostat. $800 for two installed. 👀
He then checked furnace in attic.
The fresh air exchanger was pretty dusty and he could clean it for under a hundred $. I said go ahead because exchanger runs ten minutes per hour to keep fresh air circulating. So price was $99. Still a lot for cleaning a screen.
It seemed to have worked in conjunction with thermostat because it’s been working properly since he left.
Im glad I didn’t spend $800. But only $228 .
Hope thermostat continues to work well
Thank you Jackie.
I still think prices are very high. You can buy and install a thermostat yourself for $175. With a $75 rebate. That’s quite a difference.


I also want to add that Taylor came to service my unit and she was amazing. My dog is usually sketched by most people and she liked Taylor. That's a huge plus.









Thank you Ian for my maintenance today!

Andrew is an outstanding representative of the company.
Thanks

We had Edgar come out to inspect our new home today and he did a very thorough inspection. He made sure the unit was checked so when the warranty company comes out we have all information possible. Amazing customer service and very personable
Edgar came back after a warranty inspection was done on the home by the install company. He found errors and was amazing at documentation of the issues. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Peter and Josue came out today to do an additional check on our unit with humidity issues. The weather was not conducive to having the outdoor pressures checked and they were very thorough with an interior check. Very professional and knowledgeable.









I would also like to thank Josh for his assistance in the process. He helped us find ways to save money on the additional work that needed to be done. His calm demeanor not only added a professional touch but also helped us heal from the prior experience with the other HVAC company. Thank you, Josh and Jorge, for helping us make the right decision. Jeremy is the bum digidy in a good way.






















I think the guy that was supposed to be assigned to me had problems. My appointment was from 9-1 and Austin was assigned to me at 1:30 and Drove over an hour to get to me.
Now that's 💜
11/24/25 Seems this is an update not its own post. Adam was out to repair our filtration system. No muss no fuss and it was fixed. Awesomely competent guy






Job done quickly and efficiently. Thank you





A special shout-out goes to Pablo, our technician. He was on time, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Pablo took the time to explain everything he was checking, walked me through the condition of each component, and gave helpful tips on how to keep our system running efficiently year-round. His attention to detail and pride in his work really stood out. Because of his professionalism and the overall quality of service, Goettl has definitely earned my trust and future business.
Highly recommend Goettl HVAC—and if you can, ask for Pablo!

Veronica and Kdyn did a great job cleaning our ducts too!

I have seen Goettl vans all over town and so I called them.
Got appointment right away and the Technician, Jef Eusepi, took care of our problem.



Call Goettl and was able to get us on the schedule due to a cancellation they had.
Jef Eusepi our tech was fantastic.
He explained everything and showed us pictures of what he was doing and fixing.
Would definitely recommend this Company and Jef.

He was knowledgeable and friendly and was able to flush the tank and get my hot water flowing again. Thanks again...





(Oldest)Jared was great. Got here promptly and fixed it quickly. Lifesaver on a 100+ degree day!












On time, clean, and very thorough with any potential issues.
Thank you.







Chris R came out for our Sadie Membership inspection and review before the cold comes here in TX. He did a fantastic job and really knows his stuff. Thank You!






Mike provided truly exceptional service. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he was extremely knowledgeable; he quickly and confidently diagnosed a very tricky issue that we had with our pipes, explaining everything clearly and answering all of our questions with patience. He also installed our new water heater and did an outstanding job. If you need a plumber who gets the job done right the first time, we highly recommend Mike. Thank you!






The Goettl team has been very professional and helpful to me as their customer. Thank you, Kelli Stoika.
PS… If there would’ve been 6 stars on the scale, that’s what I believe they should’ve received.



Sally



UPDATE Julian and his team, Nick & Jeffery, were here to fix my sewer pipe. They explained everything thoroughly and kept me apprised of their progress. When they finished, it looked as if they hadn’t been here even though they dug a giant whole in my yard! Most impressive! I highly recommend Goettl.
UPDATE November 14, 2025
Goettl continues to be a 5-star company for me. Always, on time, clear explanations, fair pricing, respectful of property and competent, friendly staff. Caelin was my team member today and upheld all of these values.





Thank you,
Greg Sanches





















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.









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


They made sure my carpet was covered and when they were all through they cleaned up perfectly
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.
Sincerely, June Jones

And I would highly recommend the company and the quality technicians like Jarod.
Jarod is the go to if you want excellent
Customer service and communication for any AC related issues. He is very knowledgeable, personable and trustworthy. I am grateful and satisfied.







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.
