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.

This appointment was to check that my heater is working properly before winter arrives.





Today the HVAC team came with a coil cleaning and suggested maintenance. Steven and Jonathon were top notch. Courteous, professional and informative. If you want it done right, get Goettl.

Maintenance, I have 3 (three) units, Brandon
Completed the work in a reasonable amount of time, and gave a comprehensive overview
Of conditions , He was very courteous, with good appearance , and was careful of surrounding furniture.
I would rate him, Excellent.




















Given the extent of the work I need to get multiple quotes and some companies insist on expensive trip charges (one up to $500) to have a “specialist” assess before providing a quote for the work.
These guys were timely, transparent and uncomplicated. I appreciate Shane for quickly putting together an estimate before even leaving the house, providing multiple options at various price point and without pressure of upfront commitment.
I would feel confident moving forward with these guys. Thank you Shane!

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.
