Professional plumbing, radiant heating, and boiler services throughout Marin County. We live and work in Novato — we know the neighborhoods, the water conditions, and the specific heating needs of Marin homes.
Marin homes typically have larger garages. This makes them perfect for heat pump water heaters, which are ultra-efficient but need good airflow to work. Your Marin garage likely has the perfect amount of space for one.
Perfect for heat pump water heaters
Water in Marin has more minerals than San Francisco water. This mineral buildup damages boilers and water heaters faster. Unlike SF, water pressure in Marin is generally consistent — you won't see sudden spikes, but hard water still takes a toll.
Protects against rapid scale buildup
Marin has many Eichler homes, especially in Lucas Valley. These mid-century modern homes use radiant floor heating. Many still have their original 60-year-old boiler systems, which are now reaching the end of their life. Learn more about our Eichler services →
Specialists in 60-year-old boiler systems
Designed by architect Joseph Eichler, these homes were built on concrete slabs with copper pipes embedded in the floor for heating. They were revolutionary for their time. Today, those original systems are over 60 years old. When an Eichler boiler fails, we don't just swap it out. We follow a strict process to protect your new investment. Old boilers were built like tractors — they could run through anything. Modern high-efficiency boilers are like high-performance cars. They are more efficient but need clean systems. If we connect a new boiler to dirty pipes, it will fail quickly. We make sure your system is ready.

Novato Water HeatersPractical advice from 20+ years working in Marin homes.
If you are replacing a water heater, look into a heat pump. They are 400% efficient and work well in garages with plenty of space and airflow.
The water in Marin is harder than in other areas. This causes mineral buildup in boilers and water heaters. Regular maintenance prevents damage and keeps your warranty valid.
If your original boiler is still running, that's great. But when it fails, you need a specialist. We know how to flush and prep these 60-year-old systems so your new boiler lasts. See our Eichler services →
