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.

Update 4/21/25 - Mike did a wonderful job. Made suggestion to keep my system running well for more years to come.
‐---------------------
Update: 12/3/24 - Jacob is great. He fixed the leaking parts on water softener and also checked the water heater to see what can be done with that. He is efficient and very knowledgeable and reviews everything so you understand.

Update: 7/25/24 - had some more work done today. The folks who come to service, install, etc. are great. They know their job, are very efficient and friendly. Today it was Justin and Luis who were installing a new filter system. Looking forward to not have to change filters every month. Thank you, gentlemen, for all the hard work in the heat.
‐----‐-----------------------------
They said I needed to replace my a/c. I was given a choice of 5 units. I liked that the 2nd most expensive would balance the temperature in my house. I get full west in my living room in the afternoon. It is always 10 plus degrees hotter on my sofa, than rest of house. So I paid a fortune and it isn't doing what he said it would. They came back and added another vent to my living room. Better, but still not what I was told. I could saved $10k and got the cheaper model. Don't think I have much recourse to get this fixed. The technicians are very good, too bad their salesmen and products are not up to the same standard.


Blake was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was friendly, personable, and genuinely took the time to listen to my concerns. He explained everything clearly, provided sound and honest guidance, and never once made me feel pressured. His professionalism and genuine care made it easy for me to trust him and feel confident in moving forward with this company.
Technicians like Blake are the reason customers stay loyal—he definitely deserves a raise. I’m truly blessed to have encountered him today. Thank you, Blake, for your outstanding service!










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 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!

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.

Thank you,

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.









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.
