over 4662 reviews
Hot, sticky afternoons in Bellevue are no time to wonder why your AC unit is blowing warm air—or worse, not turning on at all. Whether it’s a strange noise, poor airflow, or a full system shutdown, your home’s comfort can be turned upside down fast when the air conditioning system starts acting up.
That’s where we come in. At Gene Johnson Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, we bring decades of experience to the table, along with friendly service and fast response times. We specialize in AC repair in Bellevue, WA, offering practical, long-lasting solutions for homeowners and businesses throughout the area. When you call us, you’re getting more than a repair—you’re getting peace of mind.
Our Professional AC Repair Services for Bellevue Homeowners and Businesses
When your air conditioner isn’t doing its job, we show up ready to fix it. Our licensed HVAC technicians are trained to handle every major brand and every kind of issue, from the small stuff to the big system breakdowns.
Here are some of the most common air conditioning system repair services we provide in Bellevue:
Refrigerant Leaks
Low refrigerant means your AC can’t cool your home properly. We’ll find the leak, repair it, and recharge the system to get everything working efficiently again.
Frozen Evaporator Coils
If your coils are freezing over, it could be dirty filters, low refrigerant, or airflow problems. We’ll identify the cause and fix it to prevent more serious damage.
Electrical Failures
Faulty wiring, damaged capacitors, or tripped breakers can all prevent your AC unit from turning on. Our HVAC repair team safely handles all electrical-related issues.
Thermostat Malfunctions
If your home’s too hot or too cold, it might not be the AC unit at all. We diagnose and fix thermostat calibration issues or upgrade your thermostat if needed.
Clogged Drain Lines
Condensation from your air conditioner needs somewhere to go. When the drain line gets blocked, it can lead to leaks or even water damage. We’ll clear it out and stop the mess.
Dirty or Damaged Fans
Fan blades and motors need to be in good shape for proper airflow. We clean, repair, or replace them to get your AC system blowing like it should.
Compressor Failures
The compressor is the heart of your AC. If it’s struggling or has failed completely, we’ll assess whether a repair or full AC replacement is more cost-effective.
Airflow Problems
Weak airflow can be caused by duct leaks, clogged filters, or failing blower motors. We’ll inspect the system to pinpoint the issue and restore comfort.
And More
From odd smells and loud noises to emergency no-cool calls, we’ve seen and fixed it all. No problem is too big—or too small—for our Bellevue HVAC technicians.
We take pride in fixing things right the first time, so you’re not calling us back for the same problem two weeks later.
Air Conditioning Repair FAQ
How Long Does the Average AC Repair Take?
It depends on the problem, but most AC repairs in Bellevue are wrapped up in one to three hours. For example, replacing a worn-out capacitor or unclogging a drain line is usually a quick job—sometimes under an hour.
But if we’re dealing with a more involved issue like a faulty compressor, refrigerant line repair, or significant ductwork issues, it could take a half day or longer. Our technicians always start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the problem. Then we’ll explain what’s going on, provide an estimate, and let you know how long it’ll take before we start the work. We aim for quick turnarounds without cutting corners.
How Much Does the Average AC Repair Cost in Bellevue, WA?
Costs vary depending on the issue, but most homeowners in Bellevue can expect to pay between $150 and $600 for common AC repairs. Quick fixes like thermostat replacements or clogged drain cleaning are on the lower end, while more complex issues like compressor repair or motor replacement may fall on the higher end. We always provide a clear estimate upfront so there are no surprises. And if we think it’s more cost-effective to consider a new AC installation instead of repairing an aging unit, we’ll let you know honestly.
Do You Also Repair Air Ducts?
Yes, we do. Your AC system relies heavily on clean, well-sealed ductwork to deliver cool air throughout your home. If your ducts are leaking, crushed, or dirty, it can make your AC unit work harder, reducing performance and increasing energy bills. We offer full ductwork repair, duct sealing, and air duct installation when needed. Our team can also perform professional duct cleaning services to improve indoor air quality and eliminate dust and allergens circulating through your system. Healthy ductwork is a major part of any efficient HVAC system.
Are There Repairs That I Can Do Myself?
Sure—there are a few easy things you can try before calling us.
- Change Your Air Filter: Dirty filters can block airflow and cause your system to freeze up or shut down. Changing your filter every 1–3 months is one of the simplest ways to avoid bigger problems.
- Check the Thermostat: Sometimes the fix is as easy as replacing batteries or reprogramming the thermostat. Make sure it’s set to “cool” and the temperature is lower than your current indoor reading.
- Reset the Circuit Breaker: If your AC unit isn’t turning on at all, it might’ve tripped the breaker. Reset it and see if that solves the issue—but if it keeps tripping, call us right away.
- Clean Around the Outdoor Unit: Leaves, dirt, or debris around the outside condenser can block airflow. Gently clean around it and clear any obstructions. Just don’t open anything yourself.
- Check Your Vents: Make sure all your supply and return vents are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs. Blocked vents can lead to airflow problems and uneven cooling.
When to Call a Pro
If you hear unusual noises, see ice on the coils, or feel warm air blowing from your vents, it’s time to call in the experts. DIY fixes can help maintain your system, but serious problems need professional tools, experience, and diagnostics. Trying to repair electrical or refrigerant components on your own is dangerous and can void your warranty.
When in doubt, it’s better to have a trained technician take a look.
We encourage homeowners to stay proactive with small fixes, but when something feels off or you’re not sure what’s wrong, give us a call. That’s what we’re here for.
Can You Fix Ductless Mini-Split AC Systems?
Yes—we repair ductless mini-splits in Bellevue all the time. These systems are fantastic for zoned comfort, but they’re not immune to issues. If your mini-split isn’t cooling properly, has error codes on the display, or is leaking water, give us a call. We’ll inspect the indoor and outdoor units, clean the filters and coils, check for refrigerant issues, and make sure the communication between components is intact. Whether it’s Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, or another brand, we’ve got the tools and know-how to get it back in shape.
Oh, and we also repair, install, and maintain heat pumps.
Do You Offer Emergency AC Repair in Bellevue?
We sure do. When your AC unit goes down during a summer heatwave, it can quickly become more than just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous, especially for seniors, children, or anyone with health conditions. We offer emergency AC repair in Bellevue, WA, to get you back to a safe, cool environment fast. Whether it’s after-hours, a weekend, or a holiday, we have HVAC technicians on-call for urgent AC services. Don’t wait until morning to get relief—we’re here when you need us most.
What If My AC Needs a Full Replacement?
If we inspect your system and find that the repair is either too costly or temporary, we’ll talk with you about AC replacement options. Our team provides honest advice—no pressure. If your AC unit is over 12–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or is struggling to keep up with your comfort needs, replacing it may be the smarter, more energy-efficient option. We offer professional AC installation services in Bellevue, along with heat pump upgrades and ductless mini-split installation. We’ll walk you through the options and help you decide what works best for your home.

Excellent service and workmanship as always. Won’t use any other company for plumbing and electrical work!
Emma Brillhart
Chandler Price came out to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. He was super quick and very communicative. Would absolutely work with him again in the future!
cozys place
Needed to replace bathtub faucet from leaking. It was looking like I would need to replace the surround on my tub because of old style fixtures and molding on the surround. The guy had the same type fixtures on truck, which normally would take a couple of weeks to get in, as I was also told by another company. Had job done that day. The guys did a fantastic job. They explained everything they were doing and even saved me some money. I would highly recommend.
Daryl Imburgia
Steven and Joe did a great job for us today. Didn’t try and over charge us. Gave us quotes for all options. And then found out the problem was an easy fix and took care of it quickly.
VeenaM Arani
Excellent work by Andrew! He is very friendly and accommodating. Great job. Would recommend to others.
Lynnda Laurie
I wanted to invest in a tankless hot water heater. My current heater was still working, but I wanted the replacement done before it was an emergency. Colby gave me a bid that was significantly lower than a competitor. He and Hugo got the job done with such professionalism. They were both so pleasant and professional. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Kate Burdick
Had an external shower leak/hose and Gene J. sent someone out in just a few hrs. Rene Garcia was awesome, clear on (3) options (and prices) and got it working. Even drove up to Home Depot quickly to get the part. Thank you for excellent customer service!
Ron N
2/11/26: Mark O. came out and did a thorough review of our plumbing system. The water heater was drained per the maintenance program. He also gave us pricing estimates on updating various components not up to the current standards. Mark is knowledgeable and personable — a pleasure to work with.
Bernie Kinimaka
Justin took care of our plumbing needs. Professional, clearly offered other service options as well. Thank you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for Gene Johnson Plumbing
I cannot say enough good things about Mike K. Mike K spent hours here working extremely hard and never once gave up. He was literally sweating and did everything in his power to resolve a very difficult toilet clog. I have honestly never met a more honest, hardworking plumber than Mike K.
What stood out most was that he was determined to get the job taken care of today for Mike K — it was about doing the right thing. He thoroughly explained all the options, called his supervisors when he had questions, and approached everything with professionalism, integrity, and care. Mike K truly went above and beyond.
Because of Mike K’s incredible service, I will be using Gene Johnson Plumbing for the rest of my life. I will also be referring Gene Johnson to all of my friends, family, and colleagues without hesitation. This level of service is rare.
Mike K is not only an outstanding plumber, but a genuinely great person and an absolute asset to whatever team he is working on. He is the kind of professional you call and immediately know you are in good hands.
Thank you so much, Mike K, and thank you Gene Johnson Plumbing for employing such an exceptional individual. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Great experience. Joseph was very professional and clearly an expert. He patiently answered all of my questions in depth and provided great insights.
Don Ripley
Noah visited our house for an emergency issue when our water heater failed and was severely leaking. Fortunately we caught before much damage was done. He had a prompt response on a Friday, clearly explained all our options, verified availability of all the necessary parts, removed and replaced everything same day… was amazing and greatly appreciated. He was very friendly and extremely professional throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

Gene Johnson Plumbing has consistently demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and a genuine care for their craft and customers. Living in a home built in the early 1900s, I understand the importance of having a trustworthy plumber.
A special shoutout goes to the plumbers who have provided services in my home over the past six months to rectify previous plumbers’ mistakes.
Most recently, Andrew Bell Morgan stood out. He explained each step clearly, presented multiple options to solve the issue, considering cost, aesthetics, and potential savings. He ensured I understood the pros and cons of each option.
Hugo Lira Hernandez deserves another mention. He went above and beyond to provide clear access to my water shut-off valves, which were previously obstructed by various tubes and wires. It only took him a few minutes to untangle and secure the valves with a metal zip tie or two. This attention to detail, even though it took an extra minute, reflects his commitment to making things better for the future.

Sean was amazing with taylor plumping today.! He made sure all my concerns were taken care of. He was polite, professional and personable. So glad I work with Taylor heating and plumbing
J B
So happy I called these guys! Already did another review under my other email address but it’s worth repeating.
I had an estimate from a different company but ended up cancelling after being jerked around. Called BelRed and was able to set up three different appointments, todays being to look at and repair a leaky pipe. Something the other guys couldn’t find btw.
Anyway – Andrew came out, introduced himself, figured out where the leak was and quickly provided me an estimate as well as a timeframe for completion.
Work was done quickly, quietly and on time. Andrew had shown me pictures and videos of the before and also of the after and made sure to test the leak was fixed (and explained what happened and why).
It’s never easy spending money unexpectedly but helps when the company and the person who comes out to do the work gives a great first impression.

Noah Amini came to provide plumbing services for our sink. He was great! He took the time to explain why we had a problem and what he would be doing to correct it. He was very polite, professional, and nice. He gave tips on how to keep our pipes clean. I would ask for him again!
Also the woman customer assistant on the phone got someone to us the same day I called. Awesome!
Bert Han
Steven Fritz performed a plumbing inspection and also replaced the shut off valve and expansion vessel. He did a great job, very professional and friendly, answered all my questions.
Jef Iner
So happy I called these guys! Had called another plumber and felt super jerked around (cancelled my appointment). Made three separate appointments with BelRed, first visit to fix a leaky pipe. Andrew was great – quick, efficient, friendly and fixed the repair in the time quoted.
Tina Chin
Steven F. was excellent. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and quickly diagnosed and fixed our Navien tankless heater. He explained everything clearly and made the process easy. Highly recommend.
