Built on Trust: Why Renton Homeowners Turn to Gene Johnson
In a town where community matters, who you hire for your home systems says a lot. Our reputation as a trusted HVAC company wasn’t built overnight — it came from decades of honest work, attention to detail, and putting customer needs before sales quotas.

More Than Just Cold Air: Precision Air Conditioning Installation
If you’re building a new home or finally adding AC to your existing space, you want a system that’s built to handle Renton’s heat — but also quiet, efficient, and tailored to your home’s unique footprint.
Our air conditioning installation process starts with an evaluation. We look at everything: square footage, insulation, room layout, sun exposure, and existing ventilation. No guesswork, no over-sizing, and no underperforming units.
We handle every phase of your cooling system installation:
- Load calculations to determine correct system size
- Recommending energy-efficient models that match your needs
- Duct evaluation or modification if necessary
- Code-compliant installation with all local permits
- Post-install testing and walkthrough with the homeowner
You get more than a cold room — you get balanced comfort, lower energy costs, and a system that’s built to last.
When It’s Time to Move On: Thoughtful AC Replacement
Eventually, every air conditioner reaches a point where repairs are no longer cost-effective. Whether it’s outdated technology, rising energy bills, or frequent breakdowns, we help Renton homeowners make the transition with ease.
Signs your system may need replacing:
- It’s 12-15+ years old
- Repairs are becoming frequent or costly
- Utility bills are creeping up without a change in use
- Cooling feels inconsistent throughout the house
Our AC replacement team will explain your options, from high-efficiency central air systems to more compact ductless models. We work with trusted brands that offer solid warranties, and we’ll even help you with financing options on approved credit.
Immediate Help When It’s Needed Most: AC Repair in Renton
There’s nothing quite like realizing your AC is out during the hottest week of the summer. Whether the issue creeps up over time or hits suddenly, a broken air conditioner quickly becomes the center of your day — and not in a good way.
We offer fast, responsive AC repair services throughout Renton. Our trucks are fully stocked, our techs arrive ready to work, and we don’t leave until the job is done right.
Common air conditioning repair calls include:
- Lack of airflow or warm air blowing from vents
- Electrical issues such as tripped breakers or faulty capacitors
- Unresponsive thermostats or incorrect temperature readings
- Water leaks from the indoor unit
- Unusual smells or loud noises
- Icing or frozen coils
We believe in fixing what’s broken, not replacing what isn’t. But if your system is aging or the repair is more costly than it’s worth, we’ll help you explore AC replacement options that make sense for your budget and your comfort goals.
Stay Ahead of the Heat: Annual AC Maintenance
Think of AC maintenance as your cooling system’s wellness check. Skipping it might not seem like a big deal — until your unit fails when you need it most.
We recommend at least one air conditioning maintenance & tune-up per year. This helps catch early wear and tear, keeps performance at its best, and extends the life of your system.
A typical AC maintenance visit includes:
- Cleaning evaporator and condenser coils
- Checking refrigerant levels and pressure
- Replacing or cleaning filters
- Inspecting and tightening electrical connections
- Testing thermostat accuracy
- Lubricating motors and fan parts
- Ensuring proper condensate drainage
Customers who stay on top of routine service experience fewer emergency repairs, lower energy usage, and better cooling during Renton’s warmest months.
Zoned Comfort, Smart Solutions: Heat Pumps & Mini-Splits
Not every house in Renton is built for central air. Some homes have been retrofitted over time, while others — especially additions or basements — simply don’t get enough airflow from a traditional system. That’s where ductless mini-split services and heat pumps come into play.
Heat pumps offer both heating & cooling in one efficient system. Rather than generating hot or cold air, they move it, making them a great fit for Renton’s moderate climate and an energy-conscious alternative to traditional HVAC systems.
Meanwhile, mini-splits are ideal for zoning. Want your home office cooler than the living room? No problem. These systems offer flexible control and installation without the need for ductwork. They’re perfect for ADUs, remodeled garages, or homes without existing ducts.
We provide full service for both systems:
- Mini-split installation and zone setup
- Mini-split repair and seasonal servicing
- Heat pump sizing and installation
- Heat pump repair and performance upgrades
Our team has hands-on experience with every system we install, and we only recommend what we’d feel good installing in our own homes.

Derek Solberg showed up quickly and got right to work, figuring out my leak and how to fix it. He stayed late to get the job done and was kind and positive.
We went from, “Holy cow, our waterline blew, and our well turned our crawlspace and basement into a pond.” To “our water is back on, and we are good to go with updated piping.”
Thank you, Derek!
