We know that choosing an HVAC contractor is an act of trust. That’s why we’ve built our reputation on transparency and technical mastery. Whether we’re designing a new system or auditing a complex problem, these three principles are at the heart of everything we do:
Value.
Solutions, Not Sales Pitches.
Our technicians are rewarded for fixing your problem, not for the size of your invoice.
Knowledge.
We fix what other companies can only replace.
John Bodnar, third-generation residential heating and air conditioning contractor and company owner, personally manages every estimate, consultation, and repair.
Service.
Quality Doesn’t Scale
Work with the same expert faces every time. As a two-person team, we personally ensure every job meets our precision standards.
Meet John Bodnar
Owner | Engineering Consultant | Master Technician
John isn’t just the name on the truck; he is a 3rd-generation local owner with over 20 years of boots-on-the-ground experience. Whether he is performing a forensic engineering audit or a precision repair, John’s goal is singular: to protect your home’s infrastructure.
Forensic Diagnostics & Consulting
John specializes in solving "unsolvable" mechanical issues. He analyzes your home’s entire ecosystem: system components, airflow, electrical load, and ductwork engineering, to provide a technical roadmap for systems that other companies have given up on.
Unlike sales-driven technicians who push for immediate replacements, John prioritizes maximizing the lifespan of your existing equipment. He applies a master technician’s touch to complex electrical and refrigerant issues to keep your system running longer.
Repair-First Philosophy
Because you are working directly with the owner, there is no corporate "middleman." You receive honest, objective advice backed by decades of field expertise, ensuring your investment is based on engineering, not a sales pitch.

Meet Ted Becker
Lead Installation & Maintenance Expert
Ted is the backbone of the Bodnar HVAC field team. With over a decade of local experience, he has mastered the unique architectural challenges of Mid-Peninsula homes. Ted doesn't just "install" equipment; he calibrates it for a lifetime of performance.
The Installer’s Eye for Maintenance
Because Ted handles both the birth and the upkeep of our systems, he has a unique "Installer’s Eye." He knows exactly which wear patterns to look for during maintenance visits, ensuring small issues never turn into 7-year headaches.
Precision-Driven Installation
Ted rejects the "box swapping" mentality of big-box retailers. He focuses on the technical integrity of every build, from precise leveling and meticulous electrical connections to dialing in gas pressures for maximum system reliability.
A premium unit is only as effective as its calibration. Ted applies a master-level standard to every job, ensuring your system runs at peak efficiency for decades without ever compromising the "Bodnar Standard."
