I called Owen's for a complimentary second opinion after my furnace was red tagged/shut down by another company. They came out the day after I called. The tech was professional and knowledgeable. He put my mind at ease about carbon monoxide and went above and beyond. I ended up not needing the $2-3k in parts (or a new furnace because parts were not available for several weeks) as determined by the other company. In a time where good customer service is not the norm, this was a blessing! Thank you for offering this service. Owen's will be top of mind when the time comes for needing a new furnace.

We called Owens to service our boiler system in our house. I remembered taking a photo of one of their vans signage recently and we ended up needed service. We called and had technician out within 2 days. Charles was professional, gave us a fair price and most importantly gave us peace of mind. I will recommend to my real estate clients, family and friends. Thank you for the service your company provides.

I called Owens for a second opinion after being red-tagged by another company trying to sell me a new boiler yesterday. I called Owens in the evening, and by early the next morning, John from Owens was here. After a full inspection and lots of reassurance, John restarted my heat and let me know I would probably not need a new boiler for another 20 years! Just for extra reassurance he left me a low level carbon monoxide detector to view results for a couple of weeks. Service like this does not happen every day and not every company is lucky enough to have employees like John! Thank you Owens!

I'm an HVAC electrician, but I'm not a tinner or a fitter. I mostly work on extremely large institution size heating and cooling units. I know my limitations. These are the guys I call to fix my own furnace when I need help. I've had some very difficult problems on my own furnace twice now, and these guys were able to fix it. They show up on time, and fix what needs to be fixed. It's just nice to have a contractor that finally just shows up, and gets the job done. No hassles, and my furnace works when they leave.

Love this local, service driven company! They installed my Thermopride furnace over 35 years ago, and have kept it tip-top ever since. From the scheduler to the service technician, friendly and efficient.

Jim D did a great job providing an annual service for my NTI boiler. Job was done quickly, and at a price I expected. Thank you!
