We Repair All Types of AC Issues in Johnston

Our technicians have solved every type of cooling problem and know exactly how to fix yours.

GEM’s air conditioning repair team handles the full range of issues Johnston homeowners face.

When air barely trickles out, your system can’t cool your home effectively. Our air conditioning repair technicians in Johnston will check for blower motor problems, ductwork issues, or clogged filters and restore proper airflow throughout your house.

Frost or ice on refrigerant lines or the evaporator coil indicates a serious problem that needs immediate attention. GEM’s air conditioning repair specialists in Johnston will determine whether restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or another issue is causing the freeze-up and repair it properly.

Puddles near your indoor unit usually mean a clogged condensate drain or other drainage problem. Left alone, water damage adds up quickly. Our Johnston team will clear blockages and fix drainage issues to keep your system running clean.

Strange odors when your AC runs signal problems that shouldn’t be ignored. Musty smells often indicate mold growth, while burning odors may point to electrical issues. GEM’s air conditioning repair technicians in Johnston will identify the source and eliminate it safely.

If adjusting your thermostat produces no response, the problem could be the thermostat itself, wiring faults, or a communication failure with your equipment. GEM’s air conditioning repair team in Johnston will diagnose the disconnect and restore proper control.

An AC that never shuts down wastes energy and wears out components prematurely. GEM provides expert air conditioning repair in Johnston to diagnose why your system can’t reach temperature and restore normal operation.

Eric and Steve are great. Got the job done fast. Cleaned up. Terrific work.
We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was
built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .

Joan Martinez came to my house on an emergency call when my furnace/boiler broke down at 1 am. He diagnosed the issues and unfortunately I needed a new system. GEM installed the new system over the next two days. Everyone on the crew was excellent.

Today Joan Martinez returned to do routine maintenance on my mini splits. He was very thorough and made sure the units are ready for the summer season. I highly recommend and trust Joan Martinez for any job.
