Many Mill Valley homes were built in an era when air conditioning simply wasn’t part of the plan. As summers warm, more homeowners are deciding it’s time to add cooling — and John Owens Services installs systems designed for exactly that situation: older, character-rich homes that were never wired or ducted for AC.
Mill Valley’s classic cottages, craftsman homes, and hillside builds often have no existing ductwork, and tearing into a beautiful older home to add it is rarely the right answer. Ductless mini-split systems are frequently the better fit: they cool room by room, install with minimal disruption, and preserve the home’s character. Where ductwork already exists we can install a traditional central system instead, and we help you choose the right approach.
An air conditioner that is too large or too small will disappoint you for years. We size every installation to the specific home — its square footage, insulation, window exposure, and Mill Valley’s mild-but-warming microclimate — so the system you get is matched to the house, not guessed at.
We install air conditioning throughout Mill Valley, Tamalpais Valley, Strawberry, and Homestead Valley, and we are comfortable with the hillside access that comes with the territory.
