Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get heat pump repair in San Rafael?

In most cases we offer same-day heat pump repair throughout San Rafael, including Terra Linda, Peacock Gap, and the Canal area. We’re a licensed (#501853), family-run Marin company, so a local technician — not a call center — handles your call.

Is heat pump replacement in San Rafael worth it over repairing my old system?

If your unit is 12–15+ years old, low on efficiency, or needs repeated repairs, replacement usually wins on comfort and PG&E costs. We give you an honest repair-vs-replace breakdown and flag any MCE or BayREN rebates that apply before you decide.

Will a heat pump actually keep my San Rafael home warm in winter?

Yes — San Rafael’s mild, rarely-freezing climate is close to ideal for modern heat pumps, which heat efficiently well below the temperatures we see here. Properly sized, one system handles winter heating and summer cooling for warmer inland days.

Do you service heat pumps in Eichler and older mid-century San Rafael homes?

We do — Terra Linda’s Eichlers and 1950s–60s ranches often need ductless mini-splits or careful duct and electrical planning, and we have decades of hands-on experience with exactly these San Rafael homes.

How much does heat pump installation cost in San Rafael?

The exact cost varies for a heat pump system installation because of factors like electrical work, ductwork, and sizing all play a part. John Owens Services can provide a more exact quote after a site visit and load calculation.

Should I replace my furnace and AC with a heat pump?

Though a heat pump offers efficient heating and cooling and a great replacement option for both an AC and furnace, it is a good idea to have a professional analyze your home’s heating and cooling needs to decide what kind of system will fit you best.

What size heat pump do I need for my San Rafael home?

The size of your heat pump system can be determined by one of our techncians once they look closely at your house size and your heating and cooling requirements.

Can I install a heat pump in a house without ductwork?

You can! A ductless heat pump installation is a great option for homes without ductwork or if you’re looking to get rid of ductwork.

What heat pump rebates are available in San Rafael?

John Owens Services has an in-house rebate department that assists with all qualifying rebate applications at the time of your installation, such as those from Electrify Marin.
