Expert boiler and radiant heating repair, service, and installation for Kenwood homes at the foot of Sugarloaf Ridge.
Kenwood sits off the natural-gas main in the upper Sonoma Valley, so most homes here heat with a propane- or oil-fired boiler feeding radiant floors or old cast-iron baseboards — and those systems take a beating through the wet, frost-prone winters that roll off Sugarloaf Ridge and Bennett Mountain. Many of the village's century-old farmhouses and vineyard estates still run hydronic heat that was never sized or serviced for the way the house is used today. John Owens Services has repaired, tuned, and installed boiler and radiant systems across Marin and Sonoma since 1986, and we know exactly how Kenwood's rural, well-and-propane housing stock behaves when the temperature drops into the 30s.
Yes. Most Kenwood homes are off the gas main and run propane- or oil-fired boilers, and we repair, service, and replace all of them. We're licensed (CA #501853) and offer same-day service when your heat goes out.
We size the boiler to your home's real heat load, lay out the radiant loops or panels, and tie in the pumps, manifold, and controls — whether it's a new vineyard-estate build or replacing tired baseboards in an older farmhouse. Every install is permitted and done by our own licensed crew.
We offer same-day service and dispatch from nearby Santa Rosa and Sonoma, so a no-heat call in Kenwood usually gets a technician out the same day, often within hours during winter.
It depends on age, efficiency, and how often it's failing — we'll give you an honest assessment on the spot. Many aging Kenwood boilers are worth one more repair, but if it's burning through propane and dropping pressure, a modern high-efficiency unit usually pays for itself.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
