Was so impressed with the service I got! Tim figured out quickly why my radiant heat was not working and fixed it. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions. The office communicated his arrival time with updates, so that I could keep working until he arrived.

Annual Boiler Maintenance

  • Having a boiler and a car are similar. It requires yearly maintenance, is fluid-filled, and contains several moving parts. Each manufacturer provides several pages of annual maintenance inspections to make sure the boiler is maintained safely and that the boiler warranty is maintained. We are skilled in following the manufacturer’s instructions to keep your boiler reliable and secure. Boiler repairs are less expensive with routine maintenance.
  • A boiler is made up of several external parts. They include zone valves, circulating pumps, air eliminators, backflow preventers, expansion tanks, temperature pressure gauges, automated fill valves, and switching relays. We get to experience each of these elements each year when we come. Often, peripheral components require replacement before the boiler. These parts must be inspected and repaired right away to prevent a major heating issue.

Boiler and Hydronic Installation / Replacement

Do I Need a New Boiler Installation/ Boiler Replacement?

Although boilers have amazing longevity and are quite popular, they ultimately need to be replaced, just like any other device in your home. For optimal efficiency, the service experts at John Owens match each new heating and air conditioning system we install to the exact application it will be used in. We take pride in the radiant heat business and ensure that every installation upholds high standards of excellent workmanship.
You might need to replace your unit if any of the following are true:

  • Your unit is older than twenty years.
  • Your unit quits frequently and repeatedly.
  • When your unit is operating, it produces odd sounds or odors.
  • Your consistency of temperature is a major issue.
  • Your unit only produces warm water or no hot water at all.
  • Your electricity expenses are really expensive.

Because these devices are intricate pieces of equipment, even a small issue could have far-reaching effects. On the other hand, a significant problem, such as a complete shutdown, can persuade you that it has to be replaced with a new installation, while a simple fix will suffice to keep it functioning normally. John Owens will provide you with an honest and open evaluation of your system when something goes wrong with your heating and air conditioning equipment, so you can decide whether a new unit is necessary.

Air to Water Heat Pumps – the way of the future

  • In California and the United States, there is a shift away from using fossil fuels to heat our homes. Gas boilers are replaced by high-efficiency heating and cooling systems called air-to-water heat pumps. Heat pumps have an efficiency of 400%. In short, that means that the appliance may produce up to 4 kW at its utmost, out of a total of 1 kW. After 2027, it will be illegal to buy new gas boilers in California. All throughout the nation, gas boilers will be phased out by 2030.
  • You may now store heated or cooled water for your home’s heating and cooling requirements during off-peak electrical times with Air-to-Water Heat Pumps. In Marin County, a kilowatt typically costs 46 cents. During peak hours (4 to 9 p.m.), a kilowatt costs 60 cents, while during off-peak hours it costs 30 cents. In the future, working during off-peak hours and saving energy for use during peak hours will be referred to as load shifting. It would be wonderful to be able to heat or cool a house for 33% less than the national average.




Boiler and Hydronic Repairs

Every hydronic heating boiler will eventually require maintenance. Because most boiler firms are based on the East Coast, it can take some time to search for and locate the essential parts. Because our vans are built for servicing hydronic boilers, we stock them with the replacement and maintenance parts that are most frequently needed. We can expedite repairs since we have a substantial stock of boiler parts from specialized manufacturers in our warehouse. Our parts department can find boiler repair components with the fastest turnaround times even if they are not in stock. As far as we can tell, nothing is more inconvenient than having a less qualified boiler specialist visit your home or place of business to identify the issue. They make several visits to your home. Seeking parts, they head out to the construction site. There is not enough communication. Usually, parts are delivered in a week or two. On occasion, the incorrect parts are ordered. You, the customer, are not currently receiving heat or hot water. Speak with the professionals. The fastest counties in which we locate and get boiler parts are Marin, Sonoma, and Napa. While we wait for a part, we can temporarily install portable boilers to supply heat and hot water. We make every effort to make the boiler repair process as comfortable as possible.

Combi Boilers- These boilers can act as both your domestic hot water heater and radiant heat. The benefits of these water heater units are that they are efficient and do not need to have a storage tank. These tankless water heater systems are able to heat your domestic water on-demand while also providing radiant heat for the home.
Tankless Boilers- Similar to combi boilers, but instead of heating potable domestic water and radiant water, they only do the radiant heat side of water heating in the home. Great for saving space and efficiency.
Individual Heating Boilers- A lot of boilers merely heat spaces. Hot water for residential usage is provided by a separate water heater in the home. We service and repair sixty-year-old boilers. These vintage cast iron boilers are surprisingly robust. They are costly to run and ineffectual, though. We have been installing and repairing condensing boilers for thirty years. Condensing boilers use PVC exhaust pipe and are frequently 95% efficient.
Boilers attached to Indirect Water Heaters Large hot water storage tanks in some larger residences receive indirect heat from a space heating boiler. These bigger combo systems are kept up to date and fixed by us.

Boiler FAQs

Is a boiler also a water heater?

Combi boilers are appliances that have the ability to function as furnaces and water heaters at the same time. If not, the system may have an indirect water heater—an external water tank—to heat water separately. Since boilers employ a network of copper pipes to convert water into steam for home heat and radiant heating, they will also heat water far faster than a conventional water heater. Boilers can also be used as water heaters because they heat water.

Are boilers and furnaces different from one another?

By heating water to a boiling point and then pumping the steam through all of the pipes, boilers will efficiently heat your house through radiant heating. A furnace heats your house alone by using hot air, which is blasted by a motor through the furnace and into the ductwork and vents inside the house. Boilers can be used as water heaters and furnaces; furnaces, on the other hand, can only heat air by using electricity or gas.

How frequently should boilers be maintained?

For the majority of units, annual maintenance is recommended. Professional tune-ups and inspections can assist in identifying any small issues before they become more expensive repairs in the future. Additionally, it’s critical to ensure that your system is operating securely because it may contain hazardous compounds that, in the event of a malfunction, could endanger you and your family. Especially after a prolonged period of inactivity, it is usually a good idea to give your system a checkup.
