Opinions on Goettl Air Conditioners?
Wayne Boatwright wrote: A friend is considering buying a home in the Phoenix that has a 4 year old Goettl air conditioner installed. From having been in the house on a very hot day, it seems to do a good cooling job. The unit is a 4 ton, 13 seer, roof mounted. I'm not really familiar the the brand. Can anyone offer experience or opinions on this? I've lived in Arizona all my life, and Goettl used to be the #1 brand of residential central A/C, not just here but for the whole US. They manufactured their own units, previously in the eastern part of the Phoenix area, more recently west of Phoenix, near Luke Air Force Base. Mechanics said they were well designed and built and easy to work on, and I still see some units that must be from the early 1980s (fan on top, wire cage sticks up a few inches). However I don't know if Goettl still manufacturers A/C, at least residential A/C. Also Goettl seems to be the only large residential A/C contractor that isn't high pressure, high priced, or shifty, unlike some others with A + ratings from the Better Business Bureau. I don't have a Goettl. |

I don't have a Goettl. I have a rental with a Goettl on it from 1971. In 39 years it's only needed two condenser fan motors and one crankcase heater. Not very energy efficient by today's standards though. |

Maybe in AZ and some of the near SW, but certainly not in "the whole US". As another poster said, I've been in several parts of the US over 60-some years and never heard of them before seeing the name in the subject of this thread. -- |
