Debunking 5 Common Water Myths: The Truth About Drinking Water Contaminants
Water is essential for life, and access to clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental human right. However, concerns about water quality and the presence of contaminants have led to a flood of information, sometimes conflicting, about what’s in our tap water. Read on as we delve into the truth about drinking water contaminants, dispelling common myths and presenting the facts to help you make informed decisions about your water sources.
Myth #1: Tap Water Is Always Safe to Drink
Fact: While many developed countries have strict regulations governing tap water quality, it’s not a universal guarantee of safety. Aging infrastructure, industrial pollution, and natural contaminants can still affect the quality of tap water. Contaminants in drinking water can also pose significant health risks. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to contaminants in drinking water can lead to various health issues, including gastrointestinal illnesses, developmental problems in children, and even certain types of cancer. Therefore, understanding and addressing these contaminants is crucial for safeguarding your health and well-being.
Tip: Regular water quality testing is essential to ensure that your tap water meets safety standards.
Myth #2: Bottled Water Is Safer Than Tap Water
Fact: Bottled water is not inherently safer than tap water. In fact, some studies have found that bottled water may contain contaminants like microplastics. These tiny plastic particles can leach from the plastic bottles themselves and have been detected in various bottled water brands. When ingested over time, microplastics can potentially pose health risks.
Tip: Using reusable bottles helps reduce the 50 billion plastic water bottles sold in the US every year.
Myth #3: Boiling Water Removes All Contaminants
Fact: Boiling water can kill most harmful bacteria and pathogens, making it safer to drink in emergencies. However, it does not remove chemical contaminants or heavy metals and in some cases, boiling water can even concentrate these contaminants, making the water more toxic. If there are concerns about chemical contaminants or heavy metals in the water supply, additional treatment methods, such as using activated carbon filters or chemical purification, may be necessary to ensure the water’s safety for consumption.
Tip: The CDC recommends boiling water for at least one minute (or three minutes at higher altitudes) to ensure it’s safe to drink.
Myth #4: Filtration Systems Are 100% Effective
Fact: Water filtration systems vary in their effectiveness and the types of contaminants they can remove. For example, basic carbon filters are effective at improving taste and odor by removing common impurities like chlorine, but they are not sufficient to eliminate heavier contaminants such as lead, mercury, or certain chemical pollutants that can be present in your water supply. It’s essential to choose a filtration system based on the specific contaminants present in your water and to regularly replace filters as recommended.
Tip: RO (Reverse Osmosis) systems are typically the best option for removing a wide range of contaminants, including dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and certain chemical pollutants, from your drinking water.

Myth #5: Water Contaminants Are a Third-World Problem
Fact: Water contamination is a global issue with wide-ranging implications for public health and the environment. While developed countries often boast more robust water treatment infrastructure, they are not immune to challenges. For example, in the United States, much of the water infrastructure is reaching the end of its useful life, with some pipes dating back a century. This aging infrastructure can lead to issues like leaks and water main breaks, potentially introducing contaminants into the water supply.
According to the Environmental Defense Fund, emerging contaminants, including PFAs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also pose an ongoing challenge worldwide. PFAs—also known as “Forever Chemicals”—are synthetic compounds found all over the environment that don’t break down easily. A recent study found that more than 200 million Americans are exposed to PFAs in their tap water.
Tip: A reverse osmosis water filtration system is the most effective tool for removing PFAs, according to Goettl Master Plumber Gary Eisenhauer. To access information about your public water system, such as system characteristics, sampling data, violations, and enforcement, utilize tools like the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) Federal Reporting Services.
Safeguarding Our Water Supply
Access to clean, safe drinking water is a vital part of public health, and understanding the truth about water contaminants is crucial. While many myths persist, it’s essential to rely on scientific facts and regularly monitor your water source’s quality. Whether you use tap water, bottled water, or natural sources, being informed and taking appropriate precautions can help ensure that your drinking water is safe for you and your family. Water is life, and it’s our responsibility to safeguard it.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Cameron was an amazing technician. He worked so hard to get my HVAC back up and running. He was the perfect blend of professional and personable. Very polite and clearly knowledgeable about his job. Thank you.
Alex Nelson came out and figured out the problem and gave me options on fixing my ac unit and a ways to spread the payments so it wasn't so much all at once
Edgar did a great job in the house. He came to do maintenance on the AC. He introduced himself and explained everything that he was going to inspect. He offered tips on home maintenance in order for me to be proactive in preventing issues from happening and also showed me how to do it. Very helpful to overall home maintenance.
Andrew Morgan was very polite and professional. Explained thing thoroughly. And went the extra mile in his explanations and with pricing for services. Would definitely recommend his services again.
At this time, no work was done. The reason for the visit was to get a quote on water heater installation.
My experience with the Goettl AC tech was by far a positive experience. He was professional, knowledgeable and capable. What he didn't know or wasn't sure about, he was able to make a call to a more senior tech. I'm reassured that field techs have backup from the office. He used that resource to diagnose a twitching component of on a 17 year old control board. Good Job Cameron.
After note. Cameron came back by a day later to check on readings he wasn't able to get on first appointment. I have high confidence in his work. I'm very likely to work with them again

Was very pleased with Goettl and Matthew Lopez. They came into our home and looked at our system and let us know what was wrong with it. They were not pushy or demanding, but opposite they were caring. We had several techs come to our house to fix our issues but they did not fix it. Matthew showed his frustration because they did not fix our issues. Matthew explained what needed to be done to make our unit run more efficient. We thank him for his expertise. Will use them again.
Billy was an excellent technician who took the time to assist me for a very late call. He identified my problem quickly and corrected it swiftly for an affordable price. Billy was professional, highly knowledgeable, and brought a warm and pleasant demeanor even though it was a very late call. Great experience!
Billy was amazing. Very thorough and so kind to my kids and dog who constantly wanted to be watching everything and had a million questions. He made sure I understood what he was looking for at every location and summarized what he found. I’m confident in his findings and recommendations.
Matthew has done a great job. He checked furnaces and the review/maintenance has been completed. He has done everything in a professional way and very happy with his job. Thanks.
Blake was very professional and efficient. He did a great job and was very efficient.
We had a great experience with Jehad explaining about the company and options for our new AC and duct work. Very Knowledgeable and friendly.
Promptly answered my call and got me a guy to fix a disastrous leak in a few hours ! Late at night and he stayed and did every thing needed and referred us a water mitigation company that would’ve come out immediately but we opted for morning ! Signed a service contract with them, then and there
Blake was awesome. Super friendly and explained everything to us in detail including how to maintain our system so it lasts.
Alex N. Did a great job. Very thorough. Helped us find the true leak.
It was an all day event for me to say the least. Darean was very knowledgeable as a subject matter expert. He provided helpful suggestions and guidance. Paulo and his assistant was determined and detailed of the replacement of two water heaters. Their hard work attitude was a key factor of completing the job regardless of the time frame. Thank you
Billy was very professional—kind—and educational. He helped me understand the issues we were experiencing and walked through the various options to fix things. It was a very big job and we were stressed about the final cost given we did not have a Home Warranty—Billy was considerate and gave us a lot of options to repair but also keep within the budget we were working with. The financing options were reasonable and very helpful too! All in all—we were very pleased with their service and overall support.
Tyler did a great job unclogging our sink and proved use with some information regarding our pipes
This was my 1st time calling Goettl for my AC needs. I was a little hesitant since I am a DIYer and like to do and save on everything but I wasnt available this time around. I had a no cooling issue that Mr. Benavides quickly troubleshot; he replaced the capacitor at a decent price (considering the market) making everyones life happier. All around was a good experiance and would definitely recommend the maintenance and service they provide. THANK YOU!!
Called to get a quote for a a/c unit replacement. Billy was great, he was knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Keep up the good work!
Great service! I love My Sadie membership. Billy was very thorough and professional. He even gave me advice on keeping my house cooler this summer. Thank you!
The service we received was done in a professional manner. First, Ryan explained the cost in a detailed manner prior to repairs being done. Secondly, he addressed the cost increase due to a broken part that was not visible until removal of the toilet. All the work was done a professional manner and we were updated on the progress of work being done. In the past we’ve had repairs made by other competitors but your company has surpassed our expectations of quality workmanship. The job was done in a timely manner due the team work of Ryan and Kaelen. Both gentleman deserve to be recognized for their outstanding work . I would recommend your company to anyone who needs plumbing repairs.
Jehad is awesome and he went above and beyond in diagnosing the problem. This is the 2nd company called and he reassured us the problem will be fixed tomorrow. Thank you so much. Texas heat is crazy and my family appreciated his clarity on the problem.
Our friend Jehad did a great job inspecting and servicing our broken a/c system. Thank you kindly. Praise God.
I just had an AC unit installed at a great price. Jason,Fidel and Brian were absolutely amazing young men. They were helpful in answering questions. They were respectful towards my family and my property. I highly recommend the services. Goetti handled my issues and also Miguel was amazing in guiding me and fixing the other issues I was having.
Jerry Guzman came to help me today find a clog line. He was super super helpful and knew his stuff. He cleared the line and then proceeded to spend time making sure that he line was cleared and cleaned out. He even went above and beyond and asked if there was anything else he could look at while he was here. Amazing service!!! Thank you so much Jerry. Highly recommend him!
Brandon took his time and explained everything to me. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you your time and assistance.
Brayan and Marcos did an awesome job on the new ac installation. Installed with no issues and has been on ever since. Perfect time with summer coming up. Walked through and job was very clean and organized. Great work ethic. Great guys.

The gentleman that arrived for the assessment and repair of my AC (Mr. Jorge Gutierrez) was outstanding. His Customer Service was top notch, beyond just being friendly. He explained everything that he was doing and before conducting any tests, he would explain what is ideal and what are the limits regarding what he was looking at. Beyond my initial call, I had some follow up questions which he was more than happy to answer and explain. Upon further review, there were some additional issues found (not the “go in for oil change, now you need a new transmission” type of issue), but which helped to clarify the situation and for which he provided several suggestions on how we could move forward. I am an extremely cheap person but my family’s health and well being is first and foremost. And when you’ve got two girls and a wife who absolutely hate the heat (and here in Texas we get plenty of that), their happiness is my happiness (in more ways than one). So with Mr. Gutierrez’ explanations and suggestions in front of me, I made a decision which despite the cost, I feel comfortable and satisfied with. I’ve got his Contact info as well as his Supervisor (Carlos), so if anything comes up in the future or if there’s additional projects I’d like to have done in my home, I’ll definitely be requesting him personally.
Good Customer Service is terribly undervalued. GREAT customer service is almost unheard of nowadays. That above all, when paired with truly quality work will always ensure not only a return customer, but also brand loyalty.

Great service all the guys are so nice peter Jonny and today Manuel and Joe they did a great job 👍
Great Service! Very thorough and friendly. Would definitely use your company again Thank you!
I was scared and totally unprepared for this fast escalating water leak. It was terrifying. Ryan and Kaelen came and patiently and thoroughly explained what was happening. What was the procedure to locate the issue, what they would need to do to assess and repair the issue and as they exposed the problem they showed me what was happening each time I came out. They educated me fully so I will be able to handle any future issues confidently. They confirmed the leak was resolved and showed me how to use the new turn off if needed in the future. They were fast and completely removed all signs of the repair. I am so grateful to have 2 young men of such professional expertise show up and will not hesitate to continue using Goettl.
Roger and Pedro provided expert and thorough service They were personable and efficient. Highly recommend them for recognition of an outstanding customer experience
What a detailed job Abdiel Chavez did for us today, I highly recommend Goettl!

Jehad, provided great customer service. Much 👏. & Brian and Chuy did a great job on our install. Would recommend!
Update - Jose Carreon visited our home (2/24/2025) and performed our annual checkup and found no issues. He also installed our smart maintenance sensors that were not installed with our new system. Everything is working flawlessly and we look forward to continued care with the Goettl family. Great job!
Update - our air conditioner went out today (10/26/23) and JEHAD showed up to repair the issue but the issue was bigger than expected. Tomorrow we will have a brand new system! Goettl is an EPIC firm that treats customers right. Thank you again JEHAD for going above and beyond.
Goettl is the epitome of what excellent customer service is! Our Drain King, DAREAN, addressed all of our questions and concerns and not only unclogged our drain but went above and beyond to show us our drains leading to the street were free and clear of any other issues. Thank you Darean and thank you Goettl for a great experience!

Jorge was scheduled to look at our HVAC, he showed up earlier than expected. Jorge kept me informed of everything he was doing and what he was thinking about our issue with our unit. We have been looking for a company that is going to be there when we need them and is willing to use the warranty on our system. Jorge called to verify our warranty with our unit, which shocked me because none of the other companies wouldn't do that for us. We highly recommend to use Goettl AC and plumbing and ask for Jorge G. To come out and help you with any questions or issues with your unit. Jorge G. thank you for everything you did to get us back on track, and for going beyond the minimum. You saved us a lot of problems and funds. Thank you, Goettl for hiring great and honest people...

Thank you, Jorge G. Again for being so honest about our unit issues.

Jeremy was very professional and did a great job!I would highly recommend Goettl A/C!
Ryan and helper came timely. Fortunately the original frozen pipes had unfrozen by time they arrived. They checked outdoor hose bibs and pointed out a few frozen ones that we attached freeze mizers to. I was happy with their service.
Jerry was very proffesional and explained everything very thoroughly. He gave me my options and was very honest.
Very professional. The crew sought to understand my issues. They gathered information and will report back with recommendation options.
Frank M came out to house and was very friendly, professional and informative. I highly recommend him and Goettl Plbg
Brian and Marcus were awesome today with my new ac/heating unit installation today!
Nathan was great!!! I definitely feel much better knowing the problem is fixed!
I had a leak previously repaired by a different company that was still leaking, so I decided to call Goettl, to get a pro to repair it. I was seriously impressed, the leak was repaired and it looks and works perfectly. Rudy came by on a Friday and dug up the pipes, identified where it was leaking and came back Saturday morning to repair it. The repair was truly a work of art. I highly recommend Goettl for your plumbing needs, make sure to as for Rudy.
Matthew Lopez is the best. Goettle Air Conditioning is also the best. I could not ask for anyone or any company better to service my AC. Thank you all for taking such good care of my service. Thank you indeed very much.
Frank was honest and was more important for him for us to know the truth than to make a sale.
Jesus Gloria was amazing! He was very friendly and professional. Great job!!!
Miguel was 100% great customer service. Knowledgeable and made me feel confident that I am dealing with a person that is looking out for you.
Jesus gloria was very informative and nice with his assistance. He completed the job in a timely manner
I had a very good experience , Miguel was very knowledgeable and professional. Look forward to working with Goettl.
Darean is such a nice and professional young man and helped me greatly to get to the bottom of my mysteriously high December water bill. I will get WiFi as he was not able to install the sensors for which I apologize. Thank you so much for your prompt response to my water issue.
Dependable, professional, knowledgeable technicians. If you have a problem I recommend you call Goettl they’ll take care of you!
Ryan and his associate were knowledgeable, efficient, and very respectful. They also managed to squeeze in my drain cleaning right before the Thanksgiving holiday with only a few hours' notice. I highly recommend them for your plumbing (and HVAC) needs, be they big or small. Thanks, guys!

Jeremy gave a clear, detailed explanation of the heating-unit problem he diagnosed and recommended steps to repair. It worked as hoped. Yeah Jeremy!! Courteous and conscientious throughout.
I visited the Goettl website and chatted with Zayne, who was extremely helpful. He was able to schedule a same-day service call to help with our issue. Peter M. arrived within the hour and quickly diagnosed an issue with our AC. He explained the problems in great detail and was extremely professional and polite. Because we still had an issue with a leak that was not coming from the AC, Peter was able to get another member of the Goettl team to come out and help diagnose that issue! Overall great experience with Goettl, so far! Hopefully the leak will be found soon!
Very knowledgeable and well respected !! We will need him to follow up with our service soon !

Goettl sent Ryan to fix my clogged drain. He arrived. On time and cleared my drain quickly. Advised me of a break that was In the cities right-of-way. And sent a video confirming his findings. All for less than $100. Glad I chose Goettl!
Sam was absolutely amazing! He was very professional and personable. He was very confident in his skills and really cares about his customers.
Darean Guerra was awesome!! He explained everything and even gave us helpful advice! Will definitely use Goettl and Darean for all future plumbing needs!
Goettl came to the rescue. Excellent service, knowledgable technician and quick service. Provided me with important information on my unit something I have not experienced with the installer of ac system. Good to know there are still companies that look out for customers. If you go Goettl you will not be disappointed! They have top notch knowledgeable personnel from the time you pick up the phone and set up the appointment. Thank you Reagan you are awesome!
Sam is outstanding!!! Explained everything. If anyone needs work done please ask for Sam !!! My AC works amazing . Thank you Sam !!!
Sam did an outstanding job with my A/C repairs. Very professional and very welcoming.
This is Leticia Baca and my husband Ed! We are in the midst of finishing a huge project involving kitchen pipes and old sewer line; replacing them all. It is by far the most expensive plumbing project we have ever undertaken. I doubt we would have decided to have the work done without Ryan’s help and guidance in giving us an educated understanding of the problem and the project. He helped us to understand the gravity of our situation and promised to be here anytime we needed him and he has been. He is an excellent leader and project manager and gave us superb customer service. Both my husband and I were exceptionally impressed with his professionalism and that of every member of our plumbing team! Kaelin, Ryan’s partner, was an excellent member and so were Paulo and Adrian who did the intricate and back breaking sewer line work! Please let Ryan and all the team know how much we appreciated them! No doubt they would appreciate hearing it from management. Sincerely,
Leticia and Ed Baca

Jesus Gloria was a great technician. Everything was taken care of very well and he was very thorough with the system check.
This is the type of quality service that everyone needs! Billy went above and beyond in helping me discover what was going on with my AC unit. He not only provided the service that I asked for, but also looked more into the issue to make sure that everything was functioning the way it’s supposed to. Update it was not however, Billy and his team assured me that they provide quality for the quantity. The team’s customer service is respectful and transparent which I feel everyone needs. Thank you Billy and the rest of the team!
Nacho came by and did a very though and complete inspection. He noted two things that needed to be fixed and got it scheduled. He also explained the process that Goettl uses with the City Inspectors.
Lionel did an amazing job! Feel a difference on A/C unit and so far was very professional. He is a life saver!
Billy was fantastic! He fixed our issues and our A/C is back on!! Great service!
Great review for Goettl Plumbing.
We had an blockage in our sewer line.
Tyler Leija was dispatched the same day, and found the blockage using a camera tool.
He cleared the blockage temporarily.
The actual fix would require digging up and replacing the bad area of pipe.
Paulo "Adrian" Dado and his crew came out the next day with backhoe, dug up the area, and replaced the section of pipe.
The next day, after inspection, Adrian and his crew filled in the hole and then cleaned up the area.
This is a brief description. There was A LOT of work involved.
Very professional work.

Billy and John were awesome. Set up everything perfectly and went the extra mile to take care of some additional needs. Definitely the best A/C experience yet.
Our tech Jorge that came out the day before helped quickly assess the situation and get us set up for a new system and water heater. Jorge was very friendly, would highly recommend!

Jesus Gloria did an excellent job and explained all the details of what was found and went through the options to choose from and what each option would give. Decision is easy.
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.

Johnny Rivera and Billy Solis came by to fix some work for me and did a fantastic job. Give these guys a raise!
Had Jesus come out and inspect my AC unit after it stopped working and he really hit the mark on creating a friendly professional environment and helped me through this stressful process and to choose the correct path that worked best for me. Everyone from the technicians to the crew who came out and installed my new unit were absolutely incredible and left no trace of them being here working. Would absolutely recommend for any and all services they provide for your home and will be calling them again when we need help.
Rudy was my tech and fixed my leak after i called another plummer that didn't fix the problem.Very profesional I advise to use this company . Great experience all around
Miguel is truly a blessing. Checked everything carefully and offered best advice and systems
I am so pleased and satisfied with Goettl AC & Htg! I called on a Sunday and Jesus Gloria showed up and got us up and running in no time! He was efficient, knowledgeable, courteous and helpful! Thank you Jesus! We will be calling you again! I highly recommend this company!😊
Darren guerra was great, gave us several options and explained in full detail what needed to be done. Very neat and clean in his work. And finished the job in a timely manner. Very happy overall with everything from start to finish. I did think the price was a little high though but considering it was getting late and didn't have much options.
Will definitely call and use
Goettle again and I will ask if Darrean could help again.

Now I understand why this company is so highly rated! Outstanding customer service from the time I called to make an appointment to when Tyler came to our home to evaluate our concerns. I learned so much about our plumbing, thank you! The level of professionalism is unmatched! Also Tyler was very down to earth, easy to talk to, he was obviously very intelligent and it was clear he was a master of his trade! Thank you Tyler, I would recommend Tyler to everyone! He is definitely an asset to the company.
They delivered what they promised was
Couldn’t be happier. Came all the options

Rudy Farias with Goettl Plumbing came by and was completely professional, on time and connected us with what we needed. That's why we always use Goettl.
Doug and Aiden were very helpful fixing a pressure problem and putting a new toilet in.
Jorge was friendly,knowledgeable and helpful explained to us the issue with our AC .
Mr. Nathan Bloodworth arrived and immediately troubleshot the problem. He was extremely knowledgeable and got the job done in less time than I expected. Thank you.
Andrew was very professional. Explained everything about the problem we were having with our sink drain. Made great recommendations. The service was timely and the alerts for when they were headed this way were very helpful.
Jesus was prompt and went straight to work. He was transparent and explained in detail the advantages of certain improvements. He was knowledgeable and initiated the improvement process right then and there!
We came for a quick trip and walked in to our family member’s home with no AC. I called this company on a Sunday, and a holiday weekend no less, and they were able to get us in the same day and fixed the problem quickly. Thank you!
Joseph Gutierrez came out And provided a very in-depth conversation on the systems they have for water softeners and carbon filter combinations. I was debating over another product with a different company and he very thoroughly explained the difference. This led me to decide on moving forward with their system, An exceptional employee, and I am sure the company appreciate his professionalism as much as I did.
Jesus Gloria was awesome, knowledgeable, and very helpful in getting our AC system up and running. It's hot outside and this guy saved us. Thank you so much for all the help and support.
Jesus Gloria did an outstanding job diagnosing our system and giving us a solution that's fair and affordable. A true professional!
William , Goettl Technician is a Professional Highly Qualified Individual who performed his work in a skilled manner within a minimal amount of time .
Frank M, was great he took the time to explain all the details of the estimate and explained what needs to be done. Thank you Frank!
Jeremy Ortega was excellent in his ways of explaining what my HVAC is doing during peak times of the day during summer. Great Customer experience overall.
Darrell was very professional and did a great job diagnosing our AC system. We will be calling Goettel AC next time.
We were hearing hammering between the walls. Tyler came out to my home to perform an evaluation. After doing several tests he quickly found the issue. We discussed several options. I ultimately opted to have the problem fixed to avoid damage to other appliances. He completed the work in a timely manner.
Peter helped a lot with explaining the root cause of our AC unit not functioning as well as it should be, and explaining why he recommended the fix/parts that he did. Took plenty of time to troubleshoot what was actually going on as opposed to just treating the symptoms, and explained in an easy-to-understand way what he found and how to fix it. He also gave good advice about simple DIY maintenance we can do moving forward to keep the system healthy! Goettl as a whole was very easy to work with and I was able to book an appointment as early as the day following my phone call. Great service from start to finish!
Andrew was an awesome and knowledgeable technician. He walked me through best and worst case scenarios. He was very informative offering multiple repair options. The best case scenario turned in our favor and we are back in business. Huge thanks to Andrew!
Great work from Richard, found our issue within 10 mins and was completed within 30 mins time. Thanks again !
Matthew was amazing! Very professional and pleasant. I would highly recommend him! I would use Goettl just because of him.
Very helpful, honest and friendly. Quick to respond and same day service! Miguel was great company to talk with and knows what he’s doing. Recommend Goettl and their team for A/C work!l to anyone looking for great service.
They are always very prompt, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. They are also very friendly, personable and explain things in a way we can understand.
Joseph was really professional and knowledgeable will definitely use them again
Douglas was very professional and provided great customer service. He explained the plumbing process very well.
William came out to our home following our yearly A/C maintenance to see if we had a compressor saver issue. Immediately William was able to identify the issue and even went a step further for us to identify other issues. Being in corporate sales/project coordination for power generation I could see how much electrical knowledge William had on top of HVAC, which is a HUGE bonus to have in that field! I personally learned a lot I did not know. It left us feeling very taken care of and very confident in Goettl as a whole. He represented the company extremely well. I was impressed by how much he knew and hope to see him grow and move up with the company as we stay customers of Goettl.
Andrew was a true professional. Explained the issue, fixed it and showed me how to prevent it.
Abdiel arrived promptly as his text said. He took the time to patiently answer all my questions and help me decide the best solution. Prompt, polite and profession service from the first contact and even after the completion of work. Thank you!
Great service from a great company! Lionel did an excellent inspection, was very professional the entire time, but most importantly is a great conversationalist! I can't say enough positive comments about Goettl!
