Troubleshooting Your AC (Before Calling for Repairs)
The last thing that any homeowner in a climate as hot as ours wants to encounter is an air conditioner that stops working properly in the middle of the hottest time of the year. Unfortunately, there is just no way in which to guarantee that your air conditioner in Phoenix, AZ is always going to function precisely as it ought to. Air conditioners are mechanical systems, and they operate under a lot of stress in this part of the country. Eventually, you are going to run into trouble.
The good news is that many issues with one’s air conditioner can be resolved quickly and simply. There are obviously a lot of very serious problems that could develop with an air conditioner, but not every instance is going to be terribly serious. Here are a few tips for troubleshooting your air conditioner before dialing our number to schedule repairs.
The Air Conditioner Is Not Blowing Air At All
This is the most alarming situation that you can encounter when trying to cool your home during the summer season. Now, there is certainly a chance that your system has broken down entirely for some reason and that it may need to be professionally repaired. However, there may be other issues causing the problem that you can handle on your own.
The very first thing that you should do is simply check your thermostat. If you have accidentally set the temperature higher than you meant to, or if the system was accidentally switched off, then you are not going to need professionals to resolve the situation! Simply make the necessary adjustments, remind the kids not to fiddle with the thermostat, and get back to living comfortably.
Another item to check is your condensate pump. If your air conditioner does not just drain condensation out of the house, but relies on a pump to get rid of it, it is possible that this pump has malfunctioned. If the reservoir is full of water, a limit switch may be keeping the system to keep it from overflowing.
Finally, double check your circuit breaker. The indoor unit may be running on a circuit that has tripped, and you can fix that problem with a simple flip of a switch. If you cannot find any obvious cause of the issue, then contact us to have the problem diagnosed and resolved.
The System Is Blowing Warm Air
Another issue that you may encounter is warm air coming from the registers in your home. This could be indicative of serious issues like refrigerant leaks or damaged ductwork but, again, it could also be a minor issue that you can handle on your own.
It’s possible that the outdoor unit is off due to a tripped breaker, leaving the indoor unit to blow unconditioned air throughout the house. Again, just check the breaker and reset it as needed. You should double check the thermostat as well. It’s even possible, if you use a heat pump, that you accidentally left the system in its heating mode.
You are not always going to wind up in a best case scenario, of course. When you’re not, count on our team for exceptional air conditioning repairs.
G-O-E-T-T-L it’ll keep you cool but it’s hard to spell.

I am very happy with the service I received today from Parker, he had to install a warranty part that was going bad. I am gratefully that he found my problem. I will always call Goettl for my service.

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 💜

Excellent work and I’ll be happy to work with him in the future,
Thank you!

We are true believers of Goettl and will definitely use them in the future!







I also want to give a big shoutout to the management team. it’s clear they really care about their clients but, even more importantly, they take care of their team. That kind of support really shows in the quality of the service. I will definitely be using Geottl for future plumbing needs.


He was on time, very polite & professional, walked us through the HVAC Rejuvenation testing and shared all results.
Really appreciate the time he took to explain, wearing the booty covers on his shoes and follow-up afterwards.
Excellent service!
What more can you ask for….
Gratitude.

The Service Manager reached out and we spoke, he explained the reason for the high cost of the repair and offered to credit our account with a substantial amount,
This is a company that stand to what they advertise and their workmanship is above what they promise.
I would recommend this company to all my neighbors.
I also enrolled into their monthly membership to come out twice a year and check everything out.
Thank you for standing behind your work….
Have been trying to speak to a Service Manager since Sunday the 26th of October, it is now October 29th called every day but no answer.
I was billed $270 for 50 minutes of a copper pipe repair, and over $600 for a close to 18 inch pipe with a fitting.
The repairman man was cordial,, it’s the company Goertl that is not a good customer friendly company. When I called to dispute the charge I was told that they are the most expensive company around. Shame. shame, also it’s a veterans owned company and they only gave a 5% discount to us because of my husband being a veteran.
Our dispute is on the cost of material, hence the hole where pipe need repair was pre prepped.
All main valves were shut off and pit was dried.

We are confident that our system will be amazing , are thankful that Mike provided us a good experience.














Great service!

What really stood out was his deep knowledge and attention to detail — he didn’t just do the job, he made sure we understood what was causing the issue and how to help prevent future problems. It’s rare to find someone so thorough, respectful, and genuinely dedicated to doing the job right.
Rodell represented Goettl with true professionalism, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Highly recommend both Rodell and Goettl for anyone needing expert, trustworthy plumbing service!

Thermostat. Stopped working on Monday night 10/20 /2025. GOETTL Tech. Kevin Andrew text to notify me of his ETA. Was very punctual. Explain what the problem was, he checked it out , went up to attic and found the problem. Explain to me the issues that was causing the A/C Thermostat to turn off. Went into detail explaining to me what was causing the A/C Thermostat to turn off. He was very professionalc and ourteous.
Thank you Kevin... Blessings








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!


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.

















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!


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!
