We had our tankless water heater serviced and the whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. John Owens Services were so responsive and Keith was so helpful. Our water heater is older and he spent extra time answering our questions and helped us future plan for water heater upgrades when we need them. Thank you Keith!

The John Owens Way: Repair First, Replace Only When Needed
Our philosophy is simple: we always want to maintain equipment to give it the longest life possible. Next, we want to focus on repairing when something goes wrong. Then, only as the last choice, we replace equipment when needed. That’s the John Owens Way.

Today Will and Keith arrived on time and professionally snaked my main line to relieve any blockage as my washing machine was not draining properly. Their knowledge and shared information was very worthwhile and the quote I received was fair for the work they performed. They also checked a possible gas leak inside my home and explained that there was no leak but that the tank design would emit small amounts of gas whenever it was activated. They also suggested I consider a tankless unit whenever I was ready to consider an upgrade. Thank you and I look forward to relying upon John Owens Services!
I had a major kitchen sink back up late Thursday night, got up first thing Friday morning and started calling plumbers! John Owens was the first one to be able to come help me that Friday! They squeezed my job into their anlreasy busy day so that I didn’t have to go thru the weekend with a stopped up kitchen sink. Everybody else said I had to wait a week! Luis showed up, he was polite and helpful and walked me through all the options I had on clearing the drains, the pros and cons of each. I went with the Hydro clean out, which was extremely effective and very quick!
Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient. The installation team listened to us when we had questions. They also found a potential problem arising from a previous installation from another company and resolved what could have resulted in a water leak in the attic. Yes, I absolutely recommend John Owens Services.
I needed a plumber to come out and snake the drain line for my washing machine and they were about to come out the same day! Clear communication, courteous, clean, answered all my questions and fixed the clog
Alex is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He looked at our job, gave us several options and gave us a quote in a timely manner.
We keep going back to John Owens because the service is great, they are genuine, honest and perform the work at the highest level of professionalism. Plus the folks there are nice, which goes a long way with me 🙂 FYI, we have used John Owens Services for plumbing for decades to help along our 70 year old Eichler (!). Eichler owners will know that radiant floor issues and too narrow galvanized pipes plague these homes. JO knows just what to do.
My experience was great from start to finish. I got multiple bids and chose John Owens because of their fair pricing, their knowledge, and the way they treated me from the very beginning.
Even the office staff was so helpful when it was time for me to sign contracts and set up appointments. They installed both a new furnace and water heater for us on the same day and it was seamless. Every John Owen’s employee I met was so professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I will definitely use them again.

This way, you know you will have a fully functioning heater and air conditioner throughout the heating and cooling season.

Water heaters are complex devices with many different connections that have to be made, such as plumbing, gas or electrical lines, and more. Not only is it incredibly dangerous for you to attempt a water heater installation on your own, but it is also actually prohibited in certain areas. For an efficient and successful job, it is best to leave water heater installation to licensed and insured plumbing professionals.
