How to Prepare Your AC System for Warmer Weather
It’s starting to heat up and homeowners are already thinking about how best to prepare their AC system or evaporative cooler for warmer weather. It’s an important consideration. After all, the cooling season lasts for more than a third of the year in this area, and ensuring that you stay cool all summer long means repairing and maintaining your cooling system. In this post, we’d like to give you some ideas about this preparation.
- Schedule an air conditioning tune-up. Not only is this the best way to prepare your system for the long cooling season, it can also help to improve the energy efficiency of your system and thereby reduce your energy costs. A comprehensive inspection and cleaning will look for any dust and debris that has built up inside your indoor and outdoor units, as well as any mold or water leaks in your evaporative cooler. It will also give you the peace of mind that comes with professional care.
- Clean your air filter. The cleanliness of your AC air filter is critical not only to the indoor air quality, but also to the energy efficiency of your cooling system. A dirty or clogged air filter can dramatically reduce the amount of cool air passing through your system, thus making the system that much harder. It can also lead to frozen coils and condensation problems.
- Clean the drain pipe. Your evaporative cooler has a drain pipe that allows condensation to move outside of the unit and into a drainage system. It’s important to check this frequently during the cooling season, because it can lead to water leaks.
- System flush. To ensure that mold and other sediment do not buildup inside your evaporative cooler, be sure and flush the system frequently. Doing so allows your evaporative cooler to be prepared for the increased strain that comes with warmer weather.
Preparing your AC system or evaporative cooler for warmer weather is important. Don’t be unprepared for the heat this summer. Call Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing today!

Daylan was very professional and explained all work done and why. I will continue to use Goettl and inform all whom I know of the service provided.
Our AC went down for the upstairs unit. We have a maintenance plan through another company but they do not provide 24/7 service. I called Goettl and I am so happy I did. Jesus Gloria was out within a few hours. I was called to confirm the appointment window. Then texted with the photo attached so I would know who my technician was and the link to track their arrival. Jesus was so professional and explained everything to make sure I understood. He took photos and videos to make sure I could see what he was talking about. Then showed me the photos after the repairs. I am so impressed with this experience. The company very clearly communicates how important customer satisfaction is to them. A+++ service and Jesus did an amazing job. I will definitely consider their maintenance plan in the future which also includes routine plumbing inspections and flushing for the same price other companies charge for HVAC services alone.
Peter is very experienced and professional. He knows a lot and explains everything in detail.
I called Goettl to get a second opinion on a/c repair options or replacement. Peter Medelez conducted a very thorough system check and confirmed all the same issues previously identified but found an additional issue; tipping the scale to full replacement. We appreciated his professionalism and knowledge: answering all our questions and explaining the issues and options. We ultimately chose Goettl for the replacement option due to their price and professionalism.
Peter was great! Explained every detail I needed and answered all my questions!

Jehad and Cameron provided great recommendation and customer service for my AC replacement.
Got exactly what we needed with the service and had great customer service from Tyler for our plumbing and with Jehad for our AC work. They were awesome! Thanks!
Rudy came out and was very professional and addressed our plumbing needs in a timely manner, highly recommended.
William and Cameron were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, respectful and put on plastic booties over their shoes when they came into the house. Our pets were comfortable with them and that says a lot. We will definitely ask for them again in the future if our AC has any issues.
