over 4543 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.

Gene Johnson is a great company, not only for their great prices but for their wonderful customer service!

Carmen Kallis
Gene Johnson has done plumbing work for us in the past so we called them to come out and address what we thought was a smelly drain. Mark O. came yesterday and worked so hard to find the cause of the funky odor. He went above and beyond, exhausting all efforts, explaining everything to me along the way. In the end, nothing was found that would indicate there was an issue with our plumbing. Mark provided a few options without making me feel pressured to make an immediate decision. He was apologetic about not being able to find and fix the issue, but he really did make every effort and I was at least glad to know that our plumbing seems to be in good shape. Thank you, Mark!
Michael Cook
Jaren did an awesome job. Fixed my issue efficiently and to my satisfaction. Highly recommend Jaren and Gene Johnson Plumbing.

Janet englund
We had a new installation of a tankless hot water heater by Steven Fritz today and it was an amazingly painless and actually interesting procedure! He was very thorough and explained things fully and carefully and got the job done in a single day. Really impressive!
Catherine Hawley
We discovered very early in the morning that our hot water tank was leaking. I called Gene Johnson plumbing. The scheduler was efficient and thorough. About 15 minutes after I ended that call I received one from Pavel along with an email that he was on his way. He assessed the situation and got right to work. We now have a very functional new hot water heater, thanks to Pavel and Nathan. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Would happily recommend their services to friends and family.
Leah Grimshaw
Jaren came out today to fix our bathtub, which was significantly clogged. This was my first-ever experience calling a plumber, and it was terrific from start to finish. The person I spoke with to book was friendly and efficient. They were able to get me in the same day, and I appreciated receiving a text letting us know when the plumber would arrive, along with a picture of who would be coming. I also appreciated Jaren calling us to let us know he was going to be early and to check with us if that was okay. Jaren was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He did a fantastic job all around. He had excellent communication with us and our HOA, and this was the best experience I’ve ever had with someone coming into my home for repairs. I am so happy my bathtub is back to normal, and I will recommend Gene Johnson to any of my friends and family. Jaren honestly made a nightmare situation manageable and even pleasant! Thank you again so much!
