The Benefits of Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioners
If you’re in the market for a new air conditioner in Tucson, AZ, then you may find yourself overwhelmed with the amount of options available today. While the innovations in technology and design have made today’s models more energy efficient and effective than ever before, it can be difficult to figure out what type of air conditioning system is right for your home. The most important consideration, however, is ensuring that your new AC system receives professional air conditioning installation. In this post, we’d like to share with you some of the benefits of going ductless. If you’re looking to improve your energy efficiency, performance, and indoor air quality, ductless mini splits might be your best bet.
A ductless mini split air conditioner uses the same type of refrigerant cycle that all air conditioners use, but it doesn’t require ducts to distribute cooled air—and remove warm indoor air—from the interior of your home. Instead, the indoor air handler/evaporator unit is compact and sits directly within the living space, often high on the wall, or recessed in the ceiling. It connects to the outdoor unit by a set of electrical, refrigerant, and drainage lines. Let’s take a look at some of its benefits:
- Energy efficiency. Because of its compact design and lack of ductwork, the ductless mini split air conditioner can have a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of up to 27, which is much higher than forced air distribution systems. Ductwork can account for up to 30% energy loss, depending on their size, location, and condition, so ductless systems excel in energy efficiency.
- Performance. Ductless mini split air conditioning systems combine efficiency with performance. Because of the location of the indoor air handler, it often achieves a faster response time to temperature adjustments than conventional systems.
- Zone control. One of the perks of a ductless system is that it has a built-in zone control system. While you can retrofit a central air with dampers and thermostats, you can typically have up to 4 indoor air handler units for every outdoor condenser/compressor. With that type of control over various areas of your home, you can see why it has become a popular alternative.

What Our Customers Say About Us





Overall, an awesome tech. I would love for him to be my designated technician for any future service calls for my AC unit. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I’m very happy with the seamless experience.



Frank did an excellent job at explaining every thing in terms that were understandable to both myself and my wife. This greatly assisted in making the right decision to look at all options on either repair or update/purchase for the future and in the long term, saving money.
Jose Carreon was the tech who was dispatched to look into a problem of a brand new system not working correctly after a new install. Jose was very methodical in his approach and found the actual issue which was not an install issue except the settings of the thermostats which were replaced and installed by Goettl. Jose's complete inspection and patience resolved the problem and he went the extra mile of calling a supervisor for a second opinion. The system is now running as it should!!! Thanks Jose!!


Great communication





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.



I am very thankful for their help today.










Thanks Goettl and more importantly, thanks Blair!

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!

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







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.


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.










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!











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.


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.

Jeremy Canchola serviced our mini-split today with the usual Goettl efficiency and professionalism.
Highly recommended!
