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.

Tyler was fantastic! We came home to find our hot water tank had leaked all over the downstairs of our home. Tyler arrived first thing in the morning to diagnose the problem and then replace the tank. Thank you for a great and speedy job!!

Mark Ochoa was very efficient. I thought he did a great job explaining everything he was doing. You have an efficient and professional employee.
Alexander Augustyn
Armando Caballero-Cano came to work with a stopped up drain for my client – same day service. He was courteous and clean and explained tips and tricks for them to keep their drains healthy. Thank you Armando!
Maggie Stiffler
I went 2 days without hot water. He came and before he left I had hot water again. My other unit was trash.

Had a sudden plumbing problem and Mike K. was able to get there in less than 2 hours and get the problem fixed fast. Thanks!

Very happy with our water heater maintenance check today by Gene Johnson Plumbing. Our technician Branson did a thorough job, was friendly, and did a great job communicating what had been done and any items of note while completing the task at hand.

Called to get leaky water tank replaced. The team sent Jeff over and performed way above any expectation… He is a great tech but mostly a wonderful human being. He was clear and complete in his communications. Helpful and thoughtful the whole way through. Great guy! His knowledge and professionalism shines in what he does, and does well. I have his card and will not ever hesitate to reach out, for anything that may come up in the future. Jeff leads in representing what I like to call “old school” approach to customer service and managing any task or service he provides, from simple to complex. You got a winner there, for sure!
Pam Harmon
Nice work, thank you.
Loc Bui
Our Plumber was Justin, he was great
Jessica Gardner
Mark O. came to my home today to inspect my plumbing and water heater. He was very professional and made sure I understood all of the problematic things that he found and what it would cost to address them. He even took a little extra time to explain things to my very curious 6 year old that insisted on following him around throughout his entire inspection. We highly recommend Gene Johnson for all of their services and if you can, ask for Mark to come do your water inspection/repair!
Ronda Barnes
Thank you, Joe!
The service was prompt and efficient.
Joe went the extra mile to get the job done sooner than later! Very nice,
Highly recommended!
Lacey Noel
Had Justen come out for a faucet replacement. He was great and quick. The only thing is Gene Johnsons prices seem to be higher and higher. It was a surprise to me that when they replaced a toliet with one I bought, to take out the old and install a new one was $1016. That did not include the new hose and valve. Those little things have to be replaced too and that doesn’t bother me as much. But high to just install a Glacier Bay toliet with nothing fancy.
Gary and Karen Cone
Particularly liked our installer, Matthew who went above and beyond and beyond.
Stephanie McBee
Mark Ochoa worked hard, was knowledgeable, and stuck with a very difficult job. We are very satisfied!
Conney Vernall
Tyler’s team, Greg & Rory were amazing! Everything was done efficiently, they even backfilled the holes with fresh soil, put seeds on top, poured concrete in the garage and cleaned up their mess, this is way more than what I asked for. Nothing but praise from me, thank you again!
Gloria Leach
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!
