When Is the Right Time to Schedule Air Conditioning Maintenance?
There are several parts of the country where weather tends to warm up earlier, including Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. This means it’s important for homeowners in these states to start getting their air conditioning system ready before the rest of the country does. Here are some indicators that it’s the right time to schedule air conditioning maintenance, and why neglecting it can be costly.
Timing is Key
The best time to schedule maintenance for any system is right before you plan on using it more frequently. It ensures that your system is in top shape to handle the increased strain of regular usage. For air conditioning systems, the heaviest usage occurs in the summer, making spring the ideal time for maintenance.
Additionally, it’s important to consider that demand for air conditioning services spikes during the summer. If you wait until the summer to schedule maintenance and your air conditioning breaks down, you could be left waiting longer for a professional to assist you.
By scheduling maintenance during spring, you can address any issues that may have developed over the winter and ensure that your system is ready to keep you cool during the hot summer months.
Seasonal Considerations
During the summer, air conditioning systems experience their heaviest usage. Therefore, spring is the ideal season for maintenance, as it prepares your system for the upcoming demands of summer. Spring maintenance allows technicians to inspect and fix your system, allowing it to operate efficiently and effectively when needed. Additionally, scheduling maintenance in the spring can help you avoid the rush of service calls that typically occur during summer.
Avoiding Peak Demand
Demand for air conditioning services surges during the summer months. Scheduling maintenance before the onset of hot weather can prevent service delays, as technicians may be busier during peak times. By performing maintenance during spring, you can ensure that your system is serviced promptly and efficiently, allowing you to avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown during the summer.
Ensuring Prompt Service
If you wait until the summer to schedule maintenance and your air conditioning system malfunctions, you may face longer wait times for professional assistance due to the high demand for service calls. Maintenance during spring can ensure that your system is serviced promptly and that any issues are addressed before they escalate into more significant problems.
Preventing Breakdowns
Regular maintenance helps spot and address potential problems before they become costly breakdowns. This proactive approach can ensure long-term time and cost savings. Spring maintenance can catch any potential problems early to allow your system to run smoothly throughout the summer months.
Maximizing Efficiency
Well-maintained ACs operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and cooling costs. Spring maintenance ensures your system runs at its peak efficiency, allowing you to stay comfortable without breaking the bank. Spring maintenance can ensure your system operates efficiently, saving you money on your energy bills.
Extending Equipment Lifespan
Regular maintenance prolongs your air conditioning system’s lifespan, allowing you to enjoy reliable cooling for years to come. Maintenance during spring can increase the life of your equipment and avoid the cost and inconvenience of premature system failure. Spring maintenance helps keep your system in top condition, ensuring that it will continue providing reliable cooling for years.
Ensuring Comfort
By scheduling maintenance during spring, you allow your air conditioning system to be ready to keep you comfortable during the hot summer months. Preventive maintenance helps avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensures that your system operates smoothly when you need it most. By scheduling maintenance in the spring, you can have peace of mind that your AC will keep you comfortable all summer.
Address Issues Promptly
While having your air conditioning unit checked annually is recommended, paying attention to any problems that arise before that appointment is important. If you notice strange noises, lower airflow, or any other unusual issues with your air conditioner, promptly schedule an appointment with a professional.
Importance of Timely Maintenance
Addressing issues immediately can prevent small problems from turning into larger, more costly repairs. Regular maintenance check-ups are crucial, but promptly addressing any unusual signs or symptoms is equally important. By taking immediate action when you notice strange noises, reduced airflow, or other irregularities, you can prevent more harm and ensure that your system continues to operate efficiently.
Signs That Require Immediate Attention
Strange noises, such as grinding, squealing, or banging, can indicate various issues, including worn-out components or loose parts. Reduced airflow could indicate a clogged filter or a more serious problem within the system. Other unusual issues, such as inconsistent cooling or foul odors, should also be addressed promptly. Ignoring them can cause further damage and potentially costly repairs.
Preventing Further Damage
Prompt action can prevent further damage to your air conditioning unit. Minor problems, if left unresolved, can escalate into larger, more expensive issues. By addressing problems as soon as they arise, you can avoid expensive repairs and allow your air conditioning system to operate efficiently.
Ensuring Efficient Operation
Prompt attention to issues ensures that your air conditioning system operates efficiently. Addressing problems such as reduced airflow or strange noises can help your system maintain its peak performance. It allows your home to stay comfortable, reduces energy consumption, and lowers utility bills.
Efficient operation of your air conditioning system keeps your home comfortable and contributes to a greener environment. Minimizing energy consumption reduces your carbon footprint and helps conserve valuable resources.
Additionally, an efficient operating system requires less maintenance over time, saving you money on repairs and extending the lifespan of your unit. Taking proactive steps to address issues promptly benefits you and contributes to a more sustainable future.
Extending the Lifespan of Your System
Regular maintenance and immediate attention to issues can extend your air conditioning system’s life. By addressing problems early, you can prevent excessive wear and tear on your system, helping it last longer and operate more effectively.
Extending your air conditioning system’s lifespan saves you money on premature replacements and reduces environmental impact by minimizing electronic waste. Proper maintenance and repairs done on time can significantly increase the longevity of your unit, ensuring it serves you well for years to come.
Additionally, a well-maintained system is more energy-efficient, ensuring lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions. By taking care of your air conditioning system, you’re investing in your comfort and a more sustainable future.
Avoiding Emergency Breakdowns
Addressing issues promptly can help you avoid emergency breakdowns. By fixing problems when small, you can prevent them from escalating into major issues requiring emergency repairs. It can save you time, money, and inconvenience in the long run.
Avoiding emergency breakdowns also keeps you and your family from cooling during the hottest times of the year. Emergency repairs can be costly and may take time to schedule, leaving you uncomfortable. By addressing issues promptly, you can maintain a reliable cooling system and enjoy uninterrupted comfort throughout the summer.
Professional Assistance
Complex issues or those requiring specialized knowledge necessitate prompt professional assistance. HVAC professionals have the resources and skills to efficiently diagnose and repair air conditioning problems. A professional will ensure that your system is properly maintained and operates efficiently.

Testimonials
What Our Customers Say About Us





Every technician we worked with was extremely professional, informative, and genuinely helpful. They truly went above and beyond; not only completing the work thoroughly, but also assisting us with communication regarding our home insurance and helping us better understand our policy, which made a stressful situation so much easier.
We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding service and would highly recommend Goettl to anyone needing plumbing services.
A special thank you to:
Teron Mobley, Jonathan Saucedo, Joseph Gutierrez, Juan Pacheco, Angel Zamora, and Malachi Suarez — your professionalism and care did not go unnoticed.

Goettl plumbing supervisor, Craig Cooper, arrived to survey the problem. Craig determined the valve had been incorrectly installed during the previous water system installation. Craig immediately contacted water mitigation supsrvisor, Ethan Gray at Quick Restore LLC.
Craig coordinated with Ethan the construction, drying of walls/carpet and services for the boxing and storage of our personal property. The reconstruction and repair work was done professionally and in an outstanding time frame for me to undergo major spinal surgery.
I wish to thank Craig for his outstanding integtity and attention to detail for this undertaking. He arranged for Goettl to cover all the costs involved for the work, boxing, moving, storage and water mitigation.
We are so very grateful to Goettl for their wonderful work ethic, technicians and supervisors. We absolutely continue to use and wholeheartedly endorse Goettl for all our AC and plumbing services! Thank, you again Craig!



12/31/24 Jasmine did an extremely professional job inspecting everything in my home for leaks, and informing me of all potential issues that might occur. What a wonderful and intelligent young person. All the people at Goettle are so friendly.
8/28/25 Alberto Martinez is very professional and extremely friendly. He cleaned my air-conditioner, changed my air filters, and set up my sensors in record time! He answered all my questions and made me feel confident with my new equipment. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Martinez and the great people at Goettl.
Alberto Escobedo Quinones is a true artist! He made the hole in my ceiling from my HVAC install disappear! It actually looks better than it did the day I bought my Home new 30 years ago. Very professional and extremely friendly.









Gave us great recommendations on what could help our system perform better . Also gave us a great dedal on cleaning our duct system .
Was not pushy at all and was very honest.
We Will request him in the future to perform all our tune ups. Thank you Goettl for hiring such a great employee . And thank you Rudy for being so kind .


Update 12/31:
Stacy and Chris were excellent! They listened to my concerns and answered my questions about my system. Both were professional and represented Goettl with expertise. The commercial says “we do things the right way not the easy way “ was evident in their approach to the service call and the way they handled the maintenance of our system. Thank you so much!














Definitely going to continue to use these guys!











Parker was very pleasant, knowledgeable and respectful of us and our home.
You’ll be in good hands with Parker and Goettl


Stacy was Awesome!! This is an update to the original above! Love the service plan and the pictures!



Mr. Gloria communicated clearly and directly, offering straightforward explanations and ensuring we fully understood each step of the process. His conduct reflected both integrity and expertise, and it is evident that he takes great pride in delivering quality service.
His exemplary performance is a credit to Goettl and reinforces our confidence in the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction.



He took the time to explain what was wrong, showed us the issues, and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. Our AC is running better than it has in a long time. We really appreciate his honesty and attention to detail. Highly recommend Goettl and especially Jonathan Buhidar.









Stacy was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything showed me pictures and explained some options for me. He explained some parts are starting to wear. Thank you Stacy for your service. I would recommend him.
Jesus and Andrew were very professional and knowledgeable about my service and explained and booked my services. Showed pictures and explained other packages that are a available. They both were very pleasant. I would recommend them.
Mohamed and his colleague were very professional. They both did great work. I would recommend them to others. I have always had great work completed by the technicians. They are all professional and knowledgeable about the work they do.









Update: I accepted your proposal and wow, three days later my house has heat and air. Installation time was a little over five hours with breaks, and all the time your crew worked efficiently and professionally. Nothing left undone. A big THANK YOU for you guys.
Update2: Goetti set up the building permit appointment with the county, and attended the inspection, which past with no issues. Other companies that I have dealt with have not done so much. Furthermore, I did get multiple estimates, and all the other companies had convenient add-on's which proved by the inspection were a unnecessary expense, thus making Geotti price the lowest and most honest of them all. By the way, the heater and a/c have work to perfection and are both very quiet.
Follow up: A home inspection showed a small issue with my new furnace, so I called Goettl. Next day service and they determined there was an issue with the furnace they installed. Two days later (Christmas Eve) a brand-new furnace was installed. No debate, new questions asked, no cost to me, they insisted. This was quit the contrast to what I experience with other HVAC companies I have dealt with in my forty years in Reno.

Update:12/18/25
Stacy did an absolutely wonderful job checking our hvac system. In addition my husband asked about insulation and as it turns out Goettl does indeed do insulation. Stacy spent a lot of time taking pictures of our attic and showing them to us and patiently explained everything to us.
He is a very pleasant and friendly person and I would not hesitate to have him do all of our hvac inspections. He was very thorough and even checked our outside a/c unit and changed the Capacitor.
Benton was equally pleasant and very helpful on the phone and we booked the insulation install for the following week.
I would not hesitate to recommend Goettl. Customer service counts a great deal to me and Goettl really takes care of it's customers.
Update: 12/19/2025
Tim Theriot reinsulated my attic today. As usual for Goettl teams, he did a wonderful job. He and his team member (Francisco?) cleaned up nicely.
Benton again was wonderful to deal with.
Update: 12/24/2025
Nicholas Mayhew installed our new kitchen faucet. Not only is he an extremely friendly and pleasant person, but he did a great job. He made sure there were no leaks anywhere under our sink and he cleaned up everything. I would have him work on any of my plumbing.













Jesus Pacheco arrived for the final repair and completed the repairs faster than quoted. After, he showed me the repairs and explained everything thoroughly. I’m am extremely happy with the services completed and have no worries in the quality of work done. Thank you!


Highly recommend Goettl Air Conditioning and Plumbing!!!











Eric and another man came to my house to clean my ductwork. Goettl had explained to me about promotion during my winter rejuvenation. Eric explained the procedure to me. Helped take down some child gates and then helped replace them when done. Always kept me informed of status and explanation of findings. Goettl may be on the costly side but well worth it. Communication is great and Smart Sadie program is great.
Again Eric and the other man (I apologize for not remembering his name) were friendly and always communicated what was happening.

Both your Plumber Technician, Josh Munoz and his Service Manager, Ben Tracy were extremely helpful.
Josh drained the hot water heater and conducted a thorough inspection of all our plumbing – both floors – inside (5,500 sq ft) as well as outside and identified several issues which he quickly set about fixing.
Josh was friendly, informative and professional throughout the entire process and served as a great representative of your company and team.
Speaking of which – every time Josh needed to check in with management Ben made himself available as a resource. It was clear that they were working as a team.
Once again ➡️ Thanks for all the great work and special kudos to Josh.






Pipes, all under the house with low clearances. Alan and partners did a very professional and considerate work. I'd recommend them to anyone.



A short history. A few years ago, we had four seasons put in a new furnace. After checking around and getting tons of estimates, there was as much as a $10,000 difference between all of the estimates. Four seasons came in at the best price. Unfortunately, I ordered an 80,000 BTU furnace and when the guy was done, I looked at the furnace and saw that it was a 60,000 BTU. I showed the guy the invoice and basically his response was ‘ Oh crap’ so I talk to the manager and he assured me that 60,000 BTU would heat my home sufficiently since it was a high-efficiency unit.
I was ready to have them tear it out and put the right one in, when the manager guaranteed the furnace and gave me the price for the 60 KBTU with a substantial discount. I did the regular maintenance and service service with four seasons.
When Goettl took over, I’m not sure if they just change the name, or bought four seasons, but everything changed after that. First I was informed of a membership called Sadie which is basically a yearly/monthly fee that allows us to get a lot of benefits. Free service calls, free, free preventative maintenance and discounts on non-covered items.
The first thing that I noticed was Josh came in to do a service, check the pressure and saw that the original installation guy did not convert my furnace to propane. Apparently none of the other service people ever checked the pressure. He had to return with the correct parts and changed out the valve. He also helped me out with a bathroom heating duct that was ripped. The price was great and he said he felt bad that we had such issues with the previous company.
A few months later (last Saturday) we stopped getting heat. I called Goettl let them know, and they were at my house within two hours. When it’s freezing outside or going to be subzero it’s really important when they respond so quickly.
Chris was the technician and he found the problem, however, the plumbing supply company was not open till Monday morning. Two days with sub, freezing temperatures scaring me a bit. Chris said that he would check with Dispatch and see if they had a couple of space heaters. When he was leaving, he noticed we had a bunch of firewood on the front and he offered to help bring firewood in. I told him no problem we had it, he said he was happy to help us. Make sure we had enough firewood to get through two days.
These two offers, were above and beyond in something you really wouldn’t expect from your HVAC people. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any space heaters at Dispatch, so we went to Home Depot and got some radiator heaters and then yes 24 hours a day kept a fire going.
Chris showed up Monday about 11 AM with the parts and it took him about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to fix all of the problems. I’m not savvy with all of the HVAC terms, but something about condensate water bill backed up through the system blah blah blah… we now have heat. lol.
Getting the Sadie member membership/club was the best thing we decided to do. They call us regularly to schedule our summer and winter maintenance. They are responsive. And they are very polite every time I call them.
I really would recommend you contacting them and get on that membership before you actually need them. Thank you, Josh and chris and unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the female technician that came out and changed our filters but she was awesome also!

Like most people, I typically search for the cheapest service I can find, and I end up having other plumbers come out to check out issues with my tankless water heater, who run their mouths, upsell parts (that don't seem to be causing the problem), and generally don't really know enough about tankless water heaters. This time, I decided to go with an experienced company with a good reputation, and I am glad that I did - Goettl's prices are very reasonable and worth the service they provide.
Juan, was very knowledgeable, patient, and persistent. Even better, he was careful and humble enough to acknowledge that he didn't know everything and checked with the manufacturer at every step. Juan spent a great deal of time helping me diagnose the problem (which always seems impossible to ascertain quickly with machines like tankless water heaters), and went above and beyond to ensure that my guests and I had hot water tonight.
Juan never got frustrated; he handled everything carefully and made sure to clean up after himself when he was done. If I can have Juan take care of all of my plumbing or AC issues in the future, I will. And if you're reading reviews to decide whether to call Goettl for your issue, I would encourage you to trust their service and experience. My experience with Juan was definitely memorable.
We now have hot water again. Can I get a "hell yeah"?


We had a concerning plumbing issue, and Geo was able to diagnose the problem with impressive speed and accuracy. What I really appreciated was that he took the time to clearly explain what was wrong, showed me what he was looking at, and gave me honest, practical advice on the best solution.
He had the issue resolved in no time at all. The whole experience was seamless, from the quick scheduling to the efficient and high-quality work. It’s so refreshing to find a technician who is not only a master of his craft but also a genuinely kind and trustworthy person.
A huge thank you to Geo and the entire team at Goettl. You have a customer for life! If you need a plumber, ask for Geo—you’ll be in the best hands






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.









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.







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!
