How to Prepare Your AC System for Spring
It’s time to bid adieu to the cold season, and say hello to the warm months ahead, which includes air conditioning tips, of course!
And spring comes, promising not only sunny days but blooming foliage that symbolize a substantial change in our home comfort needs.
This is the time most switch over from the heater to the air conditioner. But is your AC ready to take over and keep you cool and comfortable?
Your friends at Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing are here to make your jump into spring efficient and easy. Here are a few steps to get your AC system ready for the oncoming spring season.
Welcoming Spring: AC Preparation Guide
There is more to transitioning from winter into spring than just changing your thermostat settings. The central air conditioning system that lays dormant throughout the cold season needs to be woken up. Here is a guide on how to wake up your sleepy unit.
Professional Inspection: A Springtime Essential
With the goodbyes of the winter chills and the hellos of spring heat, just like we change up our wardrobe, your home air conditioner needs an adjustment too. After a few months of sitting idly, your air conditioning system may not only have warmed up from winter dormancy but could also have accumulated dust, rust, or even become a temporary residence for critters.
Now is the time to shake off all the problems that took home in your system during the cold months, and what better way than with a comprehensive professional inspection.
Imagine your AC to be a hibernating bear.
Just as the bear needs a moment to get its bearings before it can leap into action, your AC needs a professional once-over to ensure it’s ready to spring back to life, providing the cooling comfort you expect.
During a professional inspection, the technician doesn’t just take a cursory look. They head deep into your air conditioning system, looking for signs of wear and tear that could have occurred over the winter months. They look for:
- Rust that could be eating away at your system’s components,
- Dirt and debris that could be clogging up the works, and
- Any other damage that critters might have caused while looking for winter shelter.
But it’s not all about fixing what’s already wrong. This inspection is also about preemptive strikes—catching issues before they become full-blown problems.
Our professional Goettl technicians look for subtle signals that might spell trouble for your AC. With their expertise, they can identify and correct impending problems to get your system ready for spring and summer demands.
And having this important check-up scheduled is one sure-shot step to make sure your AC is ready for the hot months. Call Goettl today to give your system the care it needs to perform.
The Ripple Effect of Maintenance: Fewer Repairs, Greater Efficiency
Regular AC maintenance should be likened to making a visit to the doctor for a checkup when one feels okay. It’s not about catching the cold before it gets bad, but about maintaining your overall health at top condition.
Similarly, giving your air conditioning system its due care before any problem arises is much more than avoiding sudden breakdowns. It’s being proactive, so it works in its best possible form for the longest possible time.
If ignored or taken lightly, these minor problems with your air conditioner don’t just go away. Generally, they will grow, some to be huge and very costly problems. It’s like that tiny leak in a dam—if it’s not fixed promptly, it could lead to a flood.
That’s just the reason why our Goettl-exclusive Rejuuuvenation® maintenance service is so thorough. We perform six critical checks to get deep into your system—hitting those little issues before they become something that could shut your cooling system down or require major repairs.
Apart from preventing disasters, regular maintenance also has a positive domino effect on your system’s efficiency. Think about it: if your AC is running smoothly without any hitches, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain an optimal temperature throughout your home.
This not only ensures that you’re getting effective and consistent cooling but also translates to lower energy bills. It’s like ensuring your car’s engine is tuned and tires are inflated to the right pressure; it just runs better and uses less fuel.
This proactive care approach means your AC system can breathe easier, and so can you, knowing that you’re saving money in the long run. You’re not forcing your system to run on overdrive, which not only keeps your energy bills in check but also contributes to the longevity of your AC.
The Path to Enhanced AC Efficiency
When we talk about the efficiency of your air conditioning system, really, we’re talking about how your air conditioning system can give you the greatest degree of comfort for the least amount of money in energy.
Over time, small issues, like a slight rattling noise or a filter a bit too full of dust, can start to drag down your AC’s performance. They may seem minor, but they push your system to overwork, raising energy bills and dropping comfort.
That’s where Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing comes in. Our services are designed to fix what’s broken and tune your system to peak performance. We make it into the details to take care of those small but impactful issues.
Additional Spring Readiness Air Conditioning Tips
As we gear up for warmer weather, here are some additional steps you can take to ensure your AC system is in top form for spring:
- Filter Check: The air filter is your AC’s first line of defense against dust and dirt. A clogged filter can hinder airflow, reducing efficiency and air quality. Regularly checking and changing your filter is a simple yet effective way to keep your system running smoothly.
- Clear the Surroundings: The outdoor unit of your AC needs breathing room to operate efficiently. Make sure it’s free from leaves, branches, and debris that could block airflow. A clear space helps your system breathe easier and cool more effectively.
- Thermostat Update: Technology has come a long way, and so have thermostats. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can give you greater control over your cooling, allowing you to set temperatures based on your schedule. This not only enhances comfort but can also lead to significant energy savings.
- Duct Inspection: Your ductwork is the highway of cool air through your home. Any leaks or damage can lead to lost air and reduced efficiency. Having your ducts inspected can ensure that cool air gets where it needs to go without unnecessary loss.

After toughing it out for a night I scheduled a service check with Goettl. Jorge came out and I'm so thankful that he was the one to show up. I was greeted at the door with a gift for my doggo and a new flashlight. Jorge took a look at my system and he knew his stuff. Optimal operating temperatures, pressures and the whole works. He took the time to explain it to me, show me the failed parts and even give me a list of options. With those he gave me realistic expectations at each price point.
He was able to work his magic and get my system back online and my house cool again. This isn't my first time calling on goettl and it won't be my last.





I’ll be canceling my home warranty and working directly with Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing from now on. Their reliability and customer care are unmatched. I’m very grateful for Jesus’s honesty and dedication highly recommend!

He explained, while he saw no immediate problems. what we might expect going forward, given the furnace's age and condition. After I asked about major component vs. whole-unit replacement, he provided a thorough explanation, and pricing, of options for us to consider.
Very good experience with Jef! Highly recommend!



Also, thanks to the other team members involved such as the appointment scheduler and Justin. Both were very professional & efficient with my slightly demanding request.

My issue is that service was for the morning and ended up at 3pm. This has been a problem for multiple service/maintenance appointments to include two cancelations. As a working professional, timing is very critical in my daily scheduling.

He took the time to walk me through everything about our unit and answered all my questions clearly. I was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail.
Thank you, Jeremy, for your excellent service!



His experience led us to a solution for our pipes, which saved us thousands and thousands of dollars.
He’s a good man to have on your side



The service was perfect. The technician Julian Bray was pleasant, knowledgeable and completed the install quickly. The area was left cleaner than when he arrived.



Installer Tech Ardian and his assistant arrived on schedule this morning and have completed the job that needed to be done orderly and neatly. Thanks everyone.

Thank you Preston






Professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Very polite and courteous
Also installed surge protectors on the the condensers






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.










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.

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.


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.


Jeremy Canchola serviced our mini-split today with the usual Goettl efficiency and professionalism.
Highly recommended!


Hopefully, we will get Jack for our next service call.
