Keep Cool and Safe This Summer with Tips for your AC Unit
How will a monsoon affect my HVAC system?
Monsoons bring dust storms, torrential downpours, flash flooding and lightening, all of which wreak havoc on air conditioning systems. With the average temperature in July in Phoenix 104 and Las Vegas 106, a non-working air conditioning can be uncomfortable and dangerous.
How can I maintain my HVAC system during the summertime?
When an AC unit sits idle for a long time, it collects debris and is then in need of maintenance to keep it running properly. You can do several things to keep up with the health of your unit such as having the condenser cleaned, and checking the coolant lines.
Most importantly, be sure to replace your filters regularly since monsoons increase the amount of dust and particles in the air, that are then being sucked into your HVAC system. Because the wind from a monsoon is blowing debris around your condenser, be sure that you clean and maintain the area around your unit. It is recommended that you keep plants, patio furniture, or other outdoor items, at least 2 feet away from your unit.
How often should I change my filter during the summer monsoon season?
The amount of dust and particles being trapped in your HVAC system can reduce the air flow to your air conditioning and cause poor indoor air quality resulting in allergies and reduced efficiency. Replace the filters at least once a month and when a monsoon blows through consider replacing them as soon as it passes.
What should I do if lightning strikes near my home during a monsoon, causing a disruption in my HVAC system?
Surges in electricity can damage the components in the air conditioner and lightening doesn’t have to hit the home to cause surges, a lightning strike within a half mile can cause damage. A lightning strike can deliver 20k volts into through a home, taking out the air conditioning unit. To prevent expense repairs and hot nights if your unit is damaged invest in a circuit breaker, during extreme electricity changes the breaker will be tripped. If you have a breaker and come home to a hot house, make sure to check it before calling for a service call.
What should I do if my system won’t turn on?
There are a few things to check if your system is not turning on. First, be sure your AC unit is plugged in and check your circuit breaker – if it trips, don’t force it. Make sure to also checking the batteries in your thermostat regularly. You’ll want to ensure the cooler setting is on, and your fan is on the auto/on mode, as opposed to off.
How often should my system be maintained?
Twice a year, before the heat and before the colder temperatures. If you had your system maintained before the start of the summer season last year, you should not go through the whole summer without doing so again. We depend upon our air conditioners far too much to force them to go through two long, brutal summer seasons without service.

We are true believers of Goettl and will definitely use them in the future!







I also want to give a big shoutout to the management team. it’s clear they really care about their clients but, even more importantly, they take care of their team. That kind of support really shows in the quality of the service. I will definitely be using Geottl for future plumbing needs.


He was on time, very polite & professional, walked us through the HVAC Rejuvenation testing and shared all results.
Really appreciate the time he took to explain, wearing the booty covers on his shoes and follow-up afterwards.
Excellent service!
What more can you ask for….
Gratitude.

The Service Manager reached out and we spoke, he explained the reason for the high cost of the repair and offered to credit our account with a substantial amount,
This is a company that stand to what they advertise and their workmanship is above what they promise.
I would recommend this company to all my neighbors.
I also enrolled into their monthly membership to come out twice a year and check everything out.
Thank you for standing behind your work….
Have been trying to speak to a Service Manager since Sunday the 26th of October, it is now October 29th called every day but no answer.
I was billed $270 for 50 minutes of a copper pipe repair, and over $600 for a close to 18 inch pipe with a fitting.
The repairman man was cordial,, it’s the company Goertl that is not a good customer friendly company. When I called to dispute the charge I was told that they are the most expensive company around. Shame. shame, also it’s a veterans owned company and they only gave a 5% discount to us because of my husband being a veteran.
Our dispute is on the cost of material, hence the hole where pipe need repair was pre prepped.
All main valves were shut off and pit was dried.

We are confident that our system will be amazing , are thankful that Mike provided us a good experience.















Great service!

What really stood out was his deep knowledge and attention to detail — he didn’t just do the job, he made sure we understood what was causing the issue and how to help prevent future problems. It’s rare to find someone so thorough, respectful, and genuinely dedicated to doing the job right.
Rodell represented Goettl with true professionalism, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Highly recommend both Rodell and Goettl for anyone needing expert, trustworthy plumbing service!

He explained, while he saw no immediate problems. what we might expect going forward, given the furnace's age and condition. After I asked about major component vs. whole-unit replacement, he provided a thorough explanation, and pricing, of options for us to consider.
Very good experience with Jef! Highly recommend!


His experience led us to a solution for our pipes, which saved us thousands and thousands of dollars.
He’s a good man to have on your side

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.




Now we have a new flange, installed correctly, and ready for the new toilet!







The company is installing a tankless heater and the customer service is outstanding.
I recommend Geottl to all!
