Water heater repair, replacement, and tankless installation across San Rafael, from Terra Linda's Eichlers to the Gerstle Park hills.
San Rafael runs the gamut from 1950s Eichlers in Terra Linda with slab-set heaters in tight interior closets to century-old Victorians in Gerstle Park and Dominican with retrofitted gas lines. Add Marin Municipal's hard water steadily building sediment in every tank, and water heaters here tend to age faster than the label promises. John Owens Services has repaired, replaced, and upgraded them across the city since 1986, and we know how to fit a new tank or tankless unit into a cramped Eichler utility closet or a steep hillside garage off Fairhills.
Yes. We keep technicians working throughout San Rafael and dispatch same-day when possible, so a cold-water morning in Terra Linda or Peacock Gap doesn't become a multi-day wait. Diagnostic visits start at $67.
It depends on tank size, fuel type, and whether your venting or gas line needs updating, common in older Gerstle Park and Dominican homes. We give a free, upfront estimate on every installation and replacement before any work begins.
For busy households and homes short on closet space, often yes, a tankless unit delivers endless hot water and lasts longer despite Marin's hard water. As an authorized Rinnai dealer we size and vent each one correctly, and we'll flag any rebates you qualify for.
Yes. We're fully licensed (#501853) across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical, so we handle the plumbing, the unit, and the dedicated wiring in-house, and help you claim Bay Area electrification rebates on the switch.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
