Expert AC repair, installation, and replacement for homes across Marin and Sonoma County — same-day service when the heat hits.
From the fog-cooled hills of Mill Valley to the triple-digit afternoons of Santa Rosa and Sonoma, cooling needs swing wildly across our two counties — and a lot of older North Bay homes were never built with central air in mind. John Owens Services has been keeping local families comfortable since 1986, whether that means a fast AC repair before a heat wave, a clean install in a 1950s San Rafael ranch with no existing ductwork, or a full system replacement that finally cools the upstairs bedrooms. We diagnose the real problem first, quote honestly, and back every job with our licensed (CA #501853) crews.
Yes — when a heat wave hits the North Bay and your system quits, we prioritize same-day AC repair across both counties whenever our schedule allows. You will speak with a real, licensed (CA #501853) technician, not an answering service.
Many homes in Mill Valley, San Anselmo, and downtown Petaluma were built without ducts, so we install ductless mini-split systems that cool room by room with no major demolition. We will assess your layout and recommend the cleanest, most efficient setup for the space.
As a rule of thumb, if your unit is over 12 to 15 years old and a repair costs a large share of a new system, replacement usually pays off in lower bills and reliability. We give you an honest, written comparison so you can decide — no pressure either way.
It depends on your square footage, insulation, ductwork, and how much inland heat you face — a Santa Rosa home needs more cooling capacity than a fog-cooled Mill Valley one. We perform a proper load calculation so your new system is sized right, not oversized and short-cycling.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
