TEMPE, Ariz. - Kenneth Goodrich, Southwest Division vice president for American Residential Services LLC. (ARS), announced the appointment of Allen Crick as general manager of Goettl Air Conditioning Inc. Crick currently serves as area manager for ARS, and will continue to hold that position. With his new appointment, he will be additionally responsible for the overall management of 70-year-old Goettl and plans to revitalize its involvement in the community and enhance the company’s customer service.
