Gene Johnson’s Personalized Approach to Comfort

No two homes in Kirkland are quite the same. Sloped ceilings, lake-facing glass walls, older ductwork, and newer additions — all of these factors affect how your cooling system performs. That’s why we tailor our AC services to your home’s unique footprint, layout, and lifestyle.

Our technicians don’t rush in with assumptions. We take time to understand your system, your comfort goals, and the specific challenges your space presents. Then we recommend proven strategies for cooling performance that lasts, whether that’s a brand-new system, targeted repairs, or routine upkeep.

When you work with Gene Johnson, you’re getting more than a service call — you’re getting a long-term partner in comfort.

Our AC Installation & Replacement for Kirkland’s Homeowners and Businesses

When your air conditioner is struggling to keep up, constantly breaking down, or simply too old to perform efficiently, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Modern cooling technology has come a long way, offering smarter, quieter, and more energy-efficient solutions than ever before.

At Gene Johnson, we specialize in air conditioning installation and air conditioning replacement for homeowners and business owners across Kirkland, WA. We don’t just swap out your old unit — we design a system that fits your space and needs precisely.

We evaluate key factors like:

  • The size and layout of your home or office
  • Insulation levels and sun exposure
  • Existing ductwork and airflow challenges
  • Energy efficiency goals and long-term usage

Once we have a full picture, we’ll guide you through selecting a new system that fits both your budget and your long-term expectations. We install only trusted, durable equipment from top-rated manufacturers — units that are built to last and backed by warranties you can trust.

What you can expect from a new AC system:

  • Smoother, more even cooling in every room
  • Improved air quality
  • Quiet operation and modern aesthetics
  • Smart thermostats and Wi-Fi control
  • Reduced energy bills thanks to better efficiency

We manage the entire installation process from permits to final testing, and we’ll be here to answer your questions long after the system is running.

Our AC Repair Services for Kirkland’s Homeowners and Businesses

Unexpected breakdowns never come at a good time. Whether it’s a 90-degree weekend or a sleepless night due to a noisy, failing system, AC issues can throw off your entire day. Our team is trained to respond quickly and diagnose problems efficiently, so you don’t have to suffer through the heat.

We handle all kinds of air conditioning repair needs, including:

  • No cool air or weak airflow
  • Loud, unusual noises
  • System short-cycling
  • Water or refrigerant leaks
  • Thermostat malfunctions
  • Frozen coils or overheating components

At Gene Johnson, we pride ourselves on transparent service. We’ll explain what’s wrong in clear, simple terms and walk you through your options — whether it’s a minor fix or signs that your system is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Our trucks arrive fully stocked so that many common AC repair jobs can be handled on the spot. And unlike companies that pressure customers into full replacements, we always prioritize the smartest and most cost-effective fix for your situation.

We also understand the urgency. That’s why we offer fast-turnaround scheduling and responsive service for homeowners and businesses who need their cooling restored quickly and professionally.

Need AC Maintenance? Gene Johnson’s Pros Got Your Back!

Like any machine, your air conditioner runs better and lasts longer when it’s well maintained. But many homeowners in Kirkland wait until something goes wrong before calling for help — and by then, the damage (and cost) can be much greater.

Our air conditioning maintenance & tune-ups are designed to keep your system in peak condition year after year. Whether your unit is brand-new or showing signs of age, seasonal upkeep is one of the best investments you can make in your home comfort.

A typical AC maintenance visit includes:

  • Deep cleaning of coils and drainage systems
  • Refrigerant level checks and pressure testing
  • Air filter inspection and replacement
  • Lubrication of motors and moving parts
  • Electrical safety checks
  • Thermostat calibration and airflow measurement

These appointments help prevent surprise breakdowns, reduce your energy usage, and maximize the lifespan of your equipment. Plus, well-maintained systems cool faster and more consistently — meaning you stay more comfortable with less strain on your AC.

We offer one-time tune-ups as well as ongoing maintenance plans, which include reminders and priority scheduling — perfect for busy households and local businesses alike.

Ductless Mini-Split Services

Some homes and spaces in Kirkland simply aren’t ideal for central air — and that’s where ductless cooling comes in. Whether you’re retrofitting an older home, adding a new room, or want more control over which areas stay cool, ductless mini-split systems offer unmatched flexibility and energy efficiency.

At Gene Johnson, we provide expert mini-split installation and mini-split repair for both residential and commercial customers.

Benefits of ductless mini-splits:

  • Zoned control for customized comfort
  • No ductwork required
  • Quick installation
  • Whisper-quiet performance
  • Ideal for home offices, basements, garages, and additions

Already have a mini-split? Our team also services existing units, ensuring they’re running efficiently and quietly. If your system isn’t delivering the comfort it used to, we can troubleshoot and provide quick, reliable mini-split repairs.

Hugo was excellent!

Malu did a fantastic job! He was prompt and helped me understand the plumbing in my house. As a first time home buyer this type of maintenance is pretty new. But Malu helped me understand the condition of my pipes, and decide on the option that will last the lifetime of my home. Everything was done quickly and efficiently, which ensured my new home was ready to move into. If your in Olympia I recommend Malu!

David Sanchez, Plumbing Technician, not only is highly skilled, but also superb at analyzing plumbing issues and taking the steps to resolve them. He cares greatly about ensuring the customer’s concerns are addressed and welcomes questions. David cares about his customers. Additionally, he cares about maintaining high standards of practice and is a real asset to the Gene Johnson Company.
In order to properly address my plumbing issue, which included a leak, he assessed the problem and installed new piping. Because I am interested in my house’s plumbing, I enjoyed learning about each step of the repair process. He was very thorough, and got my permission for the additional work. When he was done with the job, he carefully cleaned everything up. I will definitely call the Gene Johnson Company for any future work that may arise.

Your service technician was absolutely delightful. Jaren was very polite, considerate, and kind. He was able to explain things well enough for me to understand and convey the issues to others. He even got a giant wasp out of my house for me. I am allergic and very thankful he was there. Quite physically, a life saver!
I will recommend him to anyone looking.
