Boiler repair and radiant heating installation for Glen Ellen homes, from valley-floor cottages to off-grid hillside properties on propane.
Glen Ellen sits low in the Valley of the Moon, where cold air settles along Sonoma Creek and winter mornings turn damp and raw under the Mayacamas. Many homes here run hydronic radiant heat off a boiler, and on the rural parcels up Trinity, Cavedale, and Warm Springs Road that boiler is usually propane-fired and fed by hard well water that quietly scales up the heat exchanger. John Owens Services has kept Sonoma Valley's boilers and radiant floors running since 1986, and we know exactly how this village's older cottages and rebuilt estates are piped.
Yes. Most hillside Glen Ellen homes run propane-fired hydronic systems off the gas main, and we service and repair LP and natural-gas boilers and radiant heat every week. We are licensed (CA #501853) and offer same-day service when you call early.
It depends on the home's size, layout, and whether we are tying into existing radiant tubing or starting fresh, so we give a clear written estimate before any work begins. For valley-floor cottages and rebuilt hillside estates alike, we size the boiler and manifolds to match your actual heat loss.
Absolutely. Hard well water is the most common cause of boiler repair we see in rural Glen Ellen, because scale builds on the heat exchanger and wears out circulators. Annual flushing and water-side treatment protect efficiency and add years of life to the system.
Yes. Our trucks carry the common circulators, valves, sensors, and controls, so most Glen Ellen boiler repairs are completed on the first visit. Call us early on a cold morning and we will get your radiant heat back fast.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
