The John Owens Way
Our philosophy is simple, and it guides every job we take on. We start by maintaining equipment to give it the longest life possible. When something goes wrong, we focus on repairing it. Only as a last resort do we recommend replacing equipment. That is the John Owens Way.
Maintain: Regular maintenance keeps your home's systems running well all year, helping you gain efficiency and save money.Repair: When a system fails, we fix what can be fixed instead of pushing a replacement you may not need.Replace: When equipment has truly reached the end of its life, we replace it, and not before.
Meet Our Founder and Owner
John Owens was educated in England, where he attended a technical and crafts college for three years. He began his plumbing career there in 1975 and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985, becoming a licensed plumbing contractor in 1986.
In 1999, John sold his successful plumbing, heating, and air conditioning business to a large national company. He chose to start again, this time staying small and focused so he could provide the best possible customer care.
John holds a wide range of licenses and experience across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, radiant heating, and building, and he is a licensed general contractor as well. He enjoys learning something new every day, whether from other tradespeople or from his customers, and he brings that knowledge to every challenge along the way.
