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.

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.
Joe Clark
Mark Ochoa was amazing dealing with a complicated issue in my basement bathroom and got us back in business. It was not a fun job. Really appreciate you Mark!
Lynne Dixon
I had an emergency water heater leak and called for help. Joe came out and got the old water heater removed and new one installed. He was very helpful and informative, I appreciate him getting this resolved so quickly. I’ll definitely use Gene Johnson again!
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!

Rachel Doerflinger
Gene Johnson is incredible to work with. They assigned me a human customer care rep through text message named Samara who has been so amazingly helpful and caring during this whole frustrating leak process. Our technicians Greg and Rory who visited us a few different times were simply amazing, so understanding, and always helpful with an extremely positive attitude even when new issues arose. Tyler, the waterline team leader and expert, was so accommodating and understanding and made sure to set things up for me with Samara for an effortless scheduling experience on my end. Gene Johnson made me feel like family. Thank you so much. ❤️
Brittni Zackery
Joe did a ton of investigative work and labor to address a pressure, pipe/water tank, and vent installation issue in our home. He is super knowledgeable and walked us through each step, with great tips for general maintenance along the way. Top notch professionalism and quality work!
Rami Rafeh
Mark Ochoa was exceptional, showed up early and helped me in a bind. Would recommend without hesitation. Good to know who you can count on when needed
Peter Morawski
We’ve been with Gene Johnson for years, going back before the mergers. The service continues to be top notch. We recently signed up for the yearly membership and feel we are getting our money’s worth. Just got our first full plumbing inspection and are very glad to have the peace of mind to know what does or doesn’t need attention. The expertise of the staff is excellent, with a special shout out to today’s technician, Mark Ochoa, who was both knowledgeable and pleasant. Thank you kindly!
BJ Erkan from Bothell Integrated Health LLC
I am so used to people trying to upsell me that I was pleasantly surprised when Derek, our technician, gave exceptional service with zero upsell. So greatly appreciated. The seeds of future business have been planted, as when my next plumbing need arises, I will be calling Gene Johnson and asking for Derek.
Bruce Hobert
They provided prompt service to hook up new utility sink lines to my copper pipes. Andrew was professional and communicated well before, during and after the service. I would defuse them again!
