    Home comfort is an important topic for most people, and it’s never more noticeable than if your furnace stops working on a cold winter night.

Having access to a reputable heating expert for times like these will enable you to minimize any downtime and get your furnace up and running again as soon as possible.

    If the time has come to replace your furnace, call Gene Johnson Plumbing & Heating!

      Watch for These Furnace Problems

      A broken furnace is never any fun, but most of the time you can catch smaller repair issues before they get too serious by watching for specific signs of trouble. Some of the more common signs of furnace trouble are

      • Elevated heating bills
      • Unpleasant odors coming from the unit itself. This is an especially bad sign if you have a gas furnace.
      • Loud banging, scraping or knocking sounds
      • Inability of the heater to match what you’ve set on your thermostat

      If you see any of these signs, however subtle they may be, it is important to address them before they turn into something more serious, requiring costly repairs. Sometimes, the system may only need a quick adjustment or tune-up, but that’s not always the case. The only way to know for sure is to call your local heating expert and have the furnace checked out.

      Another good way to avoid small issues like these and more complex problems with your heating system is to keep up with regular HVAC maintenance, including annual inspections and tune-ups. Gene Johnson are always available to chat with you about your heating repair or tune-up needs. Our team is trained to work with all furnaces, whether they run on gas, oil, or electricity.

      Routine Furnace Maintenance Saves Time and Money

      If you want to save yourself time and money over the long term, having yearly maintenance performed on the furnace is a good idea. During a maintenance visit, the technician will inspect and clean all of the working parts of your furnace and repair any minor damage that has the potential to cause bigger problems. If you schedule the maintenance visit shortly before the normal heating season, your furnace will be clean and running as efficiently as possible throughout the upcoming winter. An efficient system means fewer repairs, so you won’t have to be as diligent when it comes to looking for signs of trouble and the monthly bills will be less. Having regular maintenance on your furnace provides several benefits that you will notice over the course of the entire year.

      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!

      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!

      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.

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

      Chandler was great! He was courteous and knowledgeable. He also ran me through what he was doing. My shower handle is no longer difficult to turn and it works great!

      We had a FANTASTIC experience back in 2023 with Taylor Heating when our furnace decided to retire in the middle of winter. Not only were they only place out of 5 that actually answered their phone, they showed up fast, got us a quote that was very manageable, and got the work done fast. Flash forward to 2026, our water heater decided it was also ready to retire. (20 years for the furnace, and 23 for the water heater – not bad). We didn’t bother trying any other company. I sent in a request via the online form and had a phone call back and an appointment time scheduled within an hour.
      Chandler was our tech on Wednesday – he is AWESOME!!! He is very personable, he answered all of our questions, and worked to help us get the best deal. He was able to replace the water heater the same day, so we didn’t have juggle a bunch of appointments – super fast and efficient. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Gene Johnson team to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship, manageable pricing, and top tier customer service.

      Alex and Nick did a great job installing our new water heater. They worked diligently and efficiently, getting the work done in about 8 hours. They cleaned up well, you could barely tell they were here. Everything is in working order and the new system works great.

      Great experience! Joseph was able to quickly fix a difficult and urgent problem. Joseph has a wealth of experience, is very professional and explained the solution step by step – exceeding our expectations. We would ask for Joseph again.

      We got notice from our water utility that their system flagged a slow leak in our system. Anna called them, very helpful. We troubleshot as best we could and came up empty. We called Gene Johnson and explained what we knew and didn’t know, scheduling a technician Friday morning. Branson Carr showed up as scheduled, we went over the situation and he started a well organized trouble diagnosis. In the end, he believed that we don’t actually have a leak, but something else. We discussed it together and in the course of breaking the system to smaller units found he couldn’t totally isolate something the utility would believe was a slow leak. Eventually he he believed it was the two valves that were likely the culprit. We had been experiencing episodic low water flow in some of our fixtures, but they came back in time. We explored that with our different background and concluded the apparent slow leak observed by the utility was likely the result of a faulty main supply valve, causing pressure drop in the system, taking some time to recharge to the rated pressure supplied by the utility, mimicking a prolonged slow leak. He recommended replacing the old gate valve with a new ball valve. I asked if we could install a leak detection/shut down capability that is readily available. He did so quickly and we noticed immediate return to the home’s original functionality.
      I was very impressed with the advanced features of the monitoring and shut down, even moreso when we learned of it’s remote notices, remote control and monitoring abilities.
      Branson is an excellent plumber and diagostician. He worked quickly, spending time with us until he was comfortable with the intricacies of this system.
      I definitely will not hesitate to recommend him to others.

      Tyler was prompt and professional. There was no upselling just straightforward information. He assessed it, informed us of the water heater failure, and they proceeded to get everything installed in the same day. Great work and easy to recommend.
