Gas boiler replacement, repair, installation, and maintenance. Baseboard heating, radiant floor, and radiator service.
When the house is cold, you need to know why your gas boiler is failing to produce heat for your home. John Owens Services provides boiler repair, installation, and radiant heating service across Santa Rosa. We investigate the appliance and the connected system, then explain the findings and a written estimate before work begins.
For a new boiler install or replacement, we review the home’s heating needs, the condition of existing radiators or radiant-floor circuits, venting, and controls. If replacement makes sense, you will receive a full explanation of the scope of the proposed boiler installation.
At John Owens Services, our motto is maintain, repair, and only replace as a last option. We want to preserve equipment as long as possible before offering a new installation.
No. A boiler heats water for a hydronic distribution system; a furnace heats air for ducts. When booking, describe the equipment you have and whether the rooms use radiators, baseboards, warm floors, or air vents.
The fault, make and model, parts availability, access, and condition of related equipment affect the scope. We diagnose the problem and explain the estimate. A fixed online price without those details would not describe every home accurately.
Ask about Rinnai, Navien, Triangle Tube, HTP, NTI, Lochinvar, U.S. Boiler Company/Burnham, Crown, Peerless, and Laars. Tell us the model and serial number. Repair options depend on the equipment’s condition and parts availability; a logo is not a promise that every model or part is available.
Low pressure, thermostat problems, circulator pump failure, or a stuck zone valve can be common culprits of a boiler failing to heat radiant floors.
Yes, in many cases, radiant heating can be repaired without needing to replace the flooring. The only time when flooring replacements may be necessary are for deep slab leaks or extensive damage in the system.
Boilers and hydronic systems should be serviced once a year right before heating season begins.
Yes, high-efficiency boilers usually work very well with an existing radiant system as long as it is in good working condition.
Limescale buildup, trapped air, pressure issues, and condensed water slamming into the pipes can all be reasons for strange noises coming from your boiler.
Typically, a 20 year old boiler should be replaced if it is experiencing problems. 20 years is the general lifespan of a boiler system.
