Hot water is something you count on every day. When your water heater starts failing, replacing it before a complete breakdown can help you avoid leaks, unexpected cold showers, and rising energy costs. A water heater install must be done correctly in order for it to be efficient for years to come.
Our team installs water heaters and performs water heater replacement for homeowners throughout San Rafael and Marin County. Whether you need a standard tank water heater, are considering a tankless water heater, or want to explore a heat pump water heater, we can help you understand your options.
Following the John Owens Way, we always look at maintenance and repair first. If your existing system still has life left in it, we’ll tell you. When replacement is the smarter long-term choice, we’ll recommend a solution based on your home’s actual needs, not a sales quota.

That approach has helped us earn the trust of North Bay homeowners for decades. From solar water heater installation to propane water heater replacement, our technicians are the ones for the job.
Age, leaks, corrosion, declining performance, and repeated repairs are all common signs. We can inspect the system and explain whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.
We install traditional tank water heaters, tankless water heaters, and heat pump water heaters for residential homes.
