Common Air Conditioning Problems We Repair

Your air conditioner can encounter a variety of issues over time. Our team is equipped to handle them all, including:

1. Insufficient Cooling

If your AC is running but not cooling effectively, it could be due to a refrigerant leak, dirty coils, or a faulty compressor. Our technicians will inspect and repair the system to restore its cooling power.

2. AC Not Turning On

A system that won’t start may be suffering from electrical issues, thermostat malfunctions, or a tripped circuit breaker. We’ll diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

3. Strange Noises

Banging, buzzing, or screeching sounds can indicate mechanical problems such as loose parts, a failing motor, or belt issues. We’ll identify the source and perform necessary repairs.

4. Leaking or Frozen AC Unit

If you notice water pooling around your unit or ice forming on the coils, this could be a sign of a clogged drain line or refrigerant issues. Our experts will address the issue and prevent further damage.

5. Weak Airflow

Poor airflow can result from clogged filters, duct obstructions, or a failing blower motor. We’ll optimize your system for efficient air circulation.

Signs You Need AC Repair

Not sure if you need professional AC repair? Here are some warning signs to look out for:

  • Warm Air Blowing from Vents – If your AC isn’t producing cold air, it could indicate a refrigerant issue or compressor problem.
  • High Energy Bills – A sudden spike in your electricity bill could mean your AC is working harder than it should due to a hidden issue.
  • Frequent Cycling – If your AC is turning on and off frequently, it may be struggling to maintain the set temperature.
  • Bad Odors – A musty or burning smell could indicate mold growth, electrical issues, or overheating components.
  • Excessive Humidity – Your AC should regulate humidity levels. If your home feels too humid, it may need servicing.

Preventative Maintenance to Avoid Costly Repairs

Regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of your air conditioner or ductless mini-split and avoiding expensive repairs. We offer comprehensive AC maintenance services, including:

  • Cleaning or replacing air filters
  • Checking refrigerant levels
  • Inspecting electrical connections
  • Lubricating moving parts
  • Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils

By scheduling annual tune-ups, you can ensure your AC operates efficiently, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns.

Jaren showed up and saved the day. Kind, informative, and quick. 11/10

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!

5

Jaren did an awesome job. Fixed my issue efficiently and to my satisfaction. Highly recommend Jaren and Gene Johnson Plumbing.

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!

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!

5

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!

5

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.

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!

Your company has been here before! Great people! Great service ! Waiting for you guys now 👍

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. ❤️

5

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!

5

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

5

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!

5

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.

5

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!

5

Mark Ochoa did a fantastic job unclogging a stubborn blockage behind a washer. The plumbing made it hard to get to the problem, but he kept working on it until the issue was addressed. Nice to have that taken care of.
