John Owens offers a host of comprehensive heating services, including repair, replacement, and maintenance for everything from gas heaters to wall heaters. As a professional heater installer in Novato, we ensure that your home is equipped with adequate space heating before we complete any HVAC job, whether it is a ducted or ductless system. We can even offer annual service for heating/air conditioning equipment, such as inspecting the blower motor, igniters, and various other components that work together to make your heating/air conditioning unit operate at peak energy efficiency. If you have a heater that goes out unexpectedly, you can count on our company to be there to provide professional repair from our highly trained technicians.
We can offer customers expert furnace repair services for all types of furnaces, including gas, propane, electric, and forced-air systems. If you are in need of a new installation, we can offer fast and reliable furnace installation services for all new furnaces. We provide regular furnace maintenance services to keep your heating system running efficiently and effectively, as well as furnace replacement services for old or inefficient furnaces. We also work with floor furnaces, devices that are installed in the floor of a home rather than taking up wall space and sending heating up through the ventilation.
We are boiler specialists in Novato, CA! We offer boiler services for all different types of boiler systems, including combination boilers that provide both space heating and hot water, tankless boilers, individual heating boilers for space heating exclusively, and boilers attached to indirect water heaters. We do flawless installation work for any boiler system, as well as replacement installations for ineffective boilers that have reached the end of their lifespan. If a boiler is installed incorrectly, it can be extremely dangerous because of all the different components involved that require careful attention. These parts include the expansion tanks, circulating pumps, backflow preventers, zone valves, and more. This is why professional maintenance is essential as well, since the technology can be complicated and requires specialized knowledge to navigate. We are one of the only boiler professionals in the Sonoma and Marin County area, and we are more than happy to offer our quality services to Novato customers.
Heat pumps are the heating and cooling technology of the future, and we specialize in offering installation, repair, and service for these energy-efficient devices. Heat pumps are amazing technologies that can provide heat, cool air, and sometimes even hot water. They utilize the warm air from outside and transfer it inside to provide heat, then work in reverse to pull heat out of the house in the summer to give you cool air in the house. This process can also be used to heat water that warms your home through floor radiators or to heat stored water for plumbing. We can offer service to all different kinds of heat pumps depending on what works best for your home, including ducted, ductless, air-to-air, and air-to-water. If you are considering switching your existing heating system to a heat pump, we can provide heat pump conversion services as well. There are often rebate programs and tax incentives available for installing heat pump equipment that our in-house rebate department can assist you with. With rebates to help get you money back on the initial purchase cost and all the money you will save on energy bills in the long run with this efficient heating and air conditioning technology, you can end up saving a lot of money!
Radiant heating transfers heat from other sources into your floors, ceilings, or walls to provide space heating in your home. Our heating/air conditioning company can install radiant systems, radiant tubing, air-to-water heat pumps, boilers, and radiators. We are also able to assist with any repairs, no matter how simple or complex, and, of course, we can provide maintenance services to ensure your system is running effectively and will continue to do so. If customers are in need of an upgrade for their radiant heat system, we can offer highly recommended new technology that will improve their heating.
Our company offers top-of-the-line services for hydronic heating for HVAC customers. These types of furnaces transport heat throughout a home using water. While radiative heating sends water through a collection of pipes throughout your floors, walls, or ceiling, hydronic furnaces eliminate that requirement, using heat instead from a hot water supply to then force the heat through your home by use of a blower fan. This is similar to how heat pumps work; only a hydronic furnace is pulling the heat from your water heater to transfer it throughout your home. This is a very effective and energy-saving method of space heating if your home does not have radiators or floorboards for traditional radiant heating.
As a Rinnai dealer, John Owens is the choice HVAC service provider for direct-vent furnaces. These units have many benefits, including being able to heat only the rooms you’re using and saving you money by keeping the systems you don’t require turned off. They also contain an easily removable front panel that makes DIY maintenance much more accessible. These devices are highly recommended for customers who need effective heating in a small package. They will use outside air to assist in fuel combustion, venting any exhaust outdoors. They appear as small boxes mounted on the walls, making them similar to a mini-split AC.
For almost 40 years, John Owens has offered comprehensive air conditioning services, including installation, repair, and maintenance, to Novato customers. Expert work is available from us for every type of air conditioning, including central systems, split systems with air handlers, air-to-air heat pumps, rooftop package units, and more. Most customers need a functional air conditioner in order to effectively cool their home in the hot weather months. You want to have cool air for your home whenever a heat wave pops up, and we are here to ensure your cooling system is flawless with every job.
As a diamond contractor for Mitsubishi, John Owens proudly installs these efficient heating/air conditioning systems. This allows each room to have its own level of cooling, saving you significantly by not having to waste energy on rooms that are not being used or do not need as much cooling. The installation of a ductless mini-split system like this requires knowing the exact sizing needed for the space. Our technicians perform what is called a Manual J calculation, which is a heat loss/heat cool analysis, in order to discover the exact heating and cooling requirements of the home. We can then install the right system to align with the calculations, making sure your mini-split is able to offer effective heating and air conditioning throughout your home.
Poor indoor air quality can cause problems such as allergies, headaches, breathing issues, and weakened immune systems. Since many of us are spending more and more time indoors, we need to be sure the quality of air we’re breathing is clean and healthy. John Owens can help customers with HVAC air purification by installing air filters on your furnace that can remove pollutants from the air before it is sent through your home. We can also install a whole-home filtration unit to further improve your indoor air. We offer humidifiers and dehumidifiers for the entire home as well that can raise or lower the level of humidity and improve the air quality.
Leaky ductwork can be a huge problem that causes lost heat, cool air, and uneven temperatures in your home. Cracks and holes can appear in your ducts over time, and a lot of times, you will not even notice how much heating and cooling you are losing unless you have your ducts inspected regularly. We use Aeroseal, a sticky polymer that can be pumped into your ductwork after we seal off your vents and registers. The material will bond to the edges of holes and cracks in the ductwork and seal itself, preventing future leakage and saving you from lost air and money. This technology is guaranteed to last 10 years, but we have even found, when pressure testing after 40 years, that it can still hold strong! Not only can you save energy and money, but duct sealing also improves your air quality by blocking pollutants from entering holes in your ducts. It also improves safety by not allowing any dangerous leaks, like carbon monoxide from gas appliances, from getting into your ducts and spreading through the air flowing through your home.
Many allergens can get sucked into your HVAC system and constantly pass through your ducts, gathering within them until they are filled with dust, dirt, and other debris. This creates a place for mold and mildew to grow in your ducts and transfer more unhealthy air into your home. Though routine duct cleaning can be done at home, it can be beneficial to have a certified HVAC contractor come in every now and then to do a full, professional inspection and cleaning. We can also provide customers with duct repair and installation if needed. We have NADCA-certified duct cleaning specialists who can duct off heat intakes and registers, vacuum out dust and dirt from the system, and treat for any mold growth. Professional duct cleaning can protect you from respiratory problems or illness due to allergens circulating through your system and can ward off vermin thriving off a food source in your ducts.
Hiring a reputable HVAC contractor is important since you want your heating and cooling handled by a professional who can accurately treat your equipment to ensure you have proper heating and air conditioning in your home. Always check for certification, licensing, and insurance when you are first looking at an HVAC company. Next, look for online reviews that show proof of quality workmanship, and ask around the community to see if any friends, family, or neighbors have used the company. It is best to look at multiple Heating contractors for any job to compare prices and services and get an estimate before deciding which will work best for you.
