Furnace repair, tune-ups, and new installs across San Rafael — from Terra Linda to Gerstle Park, Peacock Gap, and the Canal.
San Rafael winters don’t get Tahoe-cold, but the damp marine air that settles through the Ross Valley gap makes a dead furnace miserable fast — and a lot of the city’s mid-century forced-air systems are now well past 20 years old. John Owens Services has kept Marin County homes warm since 1986, and our trucks roll fully stocked so a no-heat call in Sun Valley or Terra Linda often gets fixed the same day. Whether your gas furnace is short-cycling, the pilot won’t hold, or you’re weighing a high-efficiency replacement, we diagnose honestly and quote before we touch anything.
Yes — our trucks are stocked with common furnace parts, so when you call early we can usually dispatch a licensed technician to San Rafael the same day, including emergency no-heat calls.
Our furnace diagnostic starts at a flat $67, and estimates for a new furnace installation are always free, so you know the price before any work begins.
Once a furnace passes 15-20 years and repairs start stacking up — or the heat exchanger cracks — replacement usually pays off in lower PG&E bills, and we’ll walk you through high-efficiency and heat-pump options that qualify for local rebates.
Absolutely. Many San Rafael homeowners are going electric, and as a licensed (CA #501853) contractor we size and install heat pumps that work with your existing ductwork and capture available BayREN and TECH Clean California incentives.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
