Seattle summers may not be as extreme as in other parts of the country, but when the temperatures rise, you rely on your air conditioning system to keep your home cool and comfortable. Regular AC maintenance is the key to ensuring your system runs efficiently, preventing costly breakdowns, and extending its lifespan. At Gene Johnson Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electrical, we provide professional air conditioning maintenance services in Seattle, WA, helping homeowners enjoy uninterrupted comfort throughout the warmer months.
Our Comprehensive AC Maintenance Services
At Gene Johnson, we offer thorough AC tune-ups to keep your system in peak condition. Our maintenance services include:
1. Full System Inspection
Our technicians conduct a detailed inspection of your air conditioning unit or mini-split heat pump, checking for any signs of wear and tear, leaks, or potential issues that may cause problems in the future.
2. Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Dirty air filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. We clean or replace your air filters to ensure optimal air circulation and indoor air quality.
3. Coil Cleaning
Dirt and debris on the evaporator and condenser coils can hinder heat exchange, making your AC work harder. We thoroughly clean the coils to restore efficiency.
4. Refrigerant Level Check
Low refrigerant levels can lead to poor cooling performance. We check and refill refrigerant if needed to ensure your system cools effectively.
5. Electrical Component Inspection
Loose or faulty electrical connections can lead to system failures. Our technicians inspect wiring, capacitors, and relays to prevent electrical hazards.
6. Thermostat Calibration
A properly functioning thermostat ensures your AC runs at the correct temperature settings. We calibrate your thermostat for accurate temperature control.
7. Lubrication of Moving Parts
Friction from unlubricated moving parts can cause excess wear and tear. We lubricate motors, fans, and other components to ensure smooth operation.
8. Condensate Drain Cleaning
Clogged drain lines can cause water damage and increase humidity levels. We clear condensate drains to prevent blockages and water leaks.
9. Ductwork Inspection
Leaky or dirty ducts can affect cooling efficiency. We check for leaks, blockages, and dust buildup to ensure proper airflow throughout your home.
10. Performance Testing
After completing the maintenance, we run a full system test to ensure your AC is operating at peak performance.
Why AC Maintenance is Essential
Routine air conditioning maintenance offers several benefits, including:
- Improved Efficiency – A well-maintained AC system consumes less energy, reducing your utility bills.
- Longer System Lifespan – Regular maintenance helps prevent wear and tear, allowing your system to last longer.
- Fewer Repairs – Catching small issues early prevents major breakdowns, costly repairs, and the need for a new AC installation.
- Better Indoor Air Quality – Clean filters and coils improve air circulation and reduce allergens in your home.
- Enhanced Comfort – A properly maintained AC system provides consistent cooling without unexpected malfunctions.
The Importance of Seasonal AC Maintenance
We recommend scheduling AC maintenance at least once a year, preferably in the spring, before the summer heat arrives. This ensures your system is ready to handle increased cooling demands and prevents unexpected breakdowns when you need it most.
Signs Your AC Needs Maintenance
Even if your AC seems to be running fine, there are some warning signs that indicate it’s time for maintenance:
- Uneven Cooling – Some rooms feel cooler than others.
- Higher Energy Bills – Increased energy consumption may indicate inefficiency.
- Strange Noises – Banging, buzzing, or squealing sounds suggest worn-out components.
- Weak Airflow – Reduced airflow can signal duct issues or a clogged filter.
- Unpleasant Odors – Musty or burning smells indicate mold growth or electrical problems.

Sharon Robinson
I contacted Gene Johnson Plumbing regarding a broken pipe coming into my home. Greg was very thorough and kept me informed of the progress while the work was being done. He was very professional and made sure when he entered my home he was careful he did not track in any dirt.
Steven Springer
Service tech. Justen did such a fantastic and quick job changing out my water heater. At First he came out for a bid. I said ok and Justen got right into getting the old tank ready to remove/went and got new tank with parts. Was done ✔️ in 3 hours total. Very impressive.
Gisele “Gigi” Gelle
Derek was fast, knowledgeable and helpful. The quote was reasonable and he walked me through the whole process. I highly recommend!
Sophia Brink
Jaren was outstanding! He stepped in and resolved a critical kitchen emergency with impressive speed and professionalism. He was extremely prompt, worked quickly, and clearly explained every step of the process. Truly exceptional service. I couldn’t be more impressed
J Fitzpatrick
Excellent work! Thank you
Kate Reingold
So grateful for the service we got from Mike K! He was patient, kind, and efficient, and I really appreciated the approachable way he talked about the plumbing issues and the costs involved. Everything was really clear, which was so helpful
Amanda Hollowell
Had a great experience with Sean he explained everything answered any questions we had. Definitely going to call again if any other issues in the future!
David Schooler
Nosh was outstanding.
James Goodwin
Steven Fritz from Gene Johnson showed up the same morning they were contacted to diagnose a water heater problem. Repair and replacement options were identified and discussed. Replacement of old water heater was quickly accomplished with good discussion along the way as needed. I felt we got a quality installation from a quality outfit.
Morgan Hansen
Jaren was super helpful in diagnosing my water leak issue, proposing solutions, and was transparent up front about the pricing of all options. Fast, hassle-free service all around.
Amy Damerow
Steven came out to troubleshoot our guest bathroom toilet that had leaked while extended family was visiting. The toilet had been shut off for a month and we couldn’t reproduce the issue after about 15 flushes, so he gave us a bunch of tips to watch for and that if we could get it reproducing they would come back out and waive the dispatch fee. We felt this was fair, and it was good to have peace of mind that we may have solved the issue previously. He was very polite and respectful the whole visit.
Aidan Malone
Greg, Rory, and Tyler did a fantastic job replacing a leaking water line and broken shutoff valve. They were professional, and kept me in the loop. Great experience overall.
Goran Sparrman
Pavel did a great job addressing our plumbing issues. This included some major upgrades and installation of new technology for water system monitoring.
Christine J
Mark Ochoa came out to my house today for my annual plumbing inspection and did a great job. I trust no one except the techs at Gene Johnson Plumbing! Thanks again for taking care of all my plumbing needs.
John Ruze
We’re totally grateful to Gene Johnson Plumbing! We had a sudden terrible leak under one of our apartment buildings. I consider myself a good handyman, but this was above my abilities. Colton Todd sent out one of his best, and he (Sean) knew exactly what to do. Sean had to build a new T-piece, knew just what to purchase and installed a terrific (I think a) PEX piece with high quality (and cool) fittings.
It’s odd, when I’ve asked fellow Landlords, also Realtors to recommend a plumber, they (almost always) scowl and say there is absolutely no one they could recommend! Well, now there is, Gene Johnson Plumbing. They were terrific, professional, timely and saved our butts.

Chris Lemoine
When we encountered a seemingly intractable water leak challenge, there could not have been anybody nicer and more professional in helping us address it than Hugo Lira-Hernandez from Gene Johnson Services. Plus he arrived much earlier, took less time, and charged less than we expected.
Louise Kapustka
Tech Hugo professionally completed an annual maintenance for me, explaining his work. He is s great example of Bel-Red’s customer care and service. Thank you!
Samantha Doerr
The technician (Darius) and overall communication from the company was great. We will definitely use them again.
Yasmine Arbob
Armando was incredible and super kind and helpful through and through. He gave us an honest assessment of the situation with no pressure to make a decision until we could make a decision. I would 100% use gene johnson again mostly because of how great he was.
