Installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance for gas boilers in Larkspur. Services for radiant floor and baseboard heating.
If your rooms or floors stay cold even though the taps run hot, John Owens Services can help identify where the demand is being interrupted and what boiler repair will address the problem best. We look at the actual equipment, thermostat demand, circulation, and controls before recommending a repair.
Planning a gas boiler installation or replacement? We review how space heating and domestic hot water are currently supplied, what the home requires, and which connections would change. We then create a clear proposal for the system you need, with the existing radiant loops, radiators, or baseboards considered in the design.
At John Owens Services, we value repair and maintenance over immediate boiler replacement. We analyze every aspect of the system to make sure our recommendation leaves you with long-lasting equipment.
Boilers and hydronic systems benefit from annual maintenance just before the winter months begin.
The systems may use separate equipment, or a combination appliance may serve them through separate controls. The heating thermostat, zone valve, pump, or heat source can interrupt room heating independently. We identify the installed arrangement before recommending a repair.
Some systems are designed to do both, but suitability depends on the model, hot-water demand, heating load, and connected equipment. We evaluate that arrangement before recommending a combination replacement or separate appliances.
Ask about Rinnai, Navien, Triangle Tube, HTP, NTI, Lochinvar, U.S. Boiler Company/Burnham, Crown, Peerless, and Laars. Tell us the model and serial number. Repair options depend on the equipment’s condition and parts availability; a logo is not a promise that every model or part is available.

Yes! High-efficiency boilers usually work incredibly well when installed with existing radiant flooring.
Strange noises can come from your boiler due to mineral buildup, trapped air, pressure issues, or condensed water slamming into the pipes.
A boiler that is 20 years old and having problems should probably be replaced since it has likely reached the end of its lifespan.
