He isn't here to sell you a new system; he’s here to ensure your current one is safe, efficient, and engineered to last.
John isn't a salesman with a clipboard; he is a 3rd-generation technician with over two decades of hands-on experience in the Mid-Peninsula.
Complex Problem Solving: Specialized in electrical faults and refrigerant flow issues that stump traditional repair techs.

Meet Ted:
Leading Our Standard for Every Installation
A Heritage of Craftsmanship
Like John, Ted doesn’t just work in HVAC—it’s in his DNA. Coming from another multi-generational family business, he understands that a heating and cooling system is only as good as the hands that install it. For over a decade, Ted has been the lead force behind Bodnar HVAC’s most complex installations.
The Gold Standard of Field Expertise
Ted isn’t a "box-swapper." He is a technician who takes personal pride in the technical integrity of every lineset, every electrical connection, and every precisely leveled unit. When Ted is on your job site, you aren’t just getting a new furnace or heat pump; you are getting a system engineered to stand the test of time.
"I treat every home like it’s my own family’s. If the installation isn't meticulous, it isn’t a Bodnar job. Our goal is to make sure the customer never has to worry about their comfort for the next 20 years." — Ted
Why Ted is an Integral Part of Our Small but Mighty Team:
A Decade of Dedicated Service: Ted has been a core pillar of Bodnar HVAC for over 10 years, ensuring consistency and quality in every project.
Multi-Generational Knowledge: His deep-rooted understanding of HVAC systems allows him to navigate the unique architectural challenges of older homes in Menlo Park and Palo Alto with ease.
Uncompromising Standards: From Atherton luxury installs to San Carlos ADU units, Ted ensures that our 60-day labor guarantee is a promise we rarely have to fulfill.
FAQs
-
Yes. Part of your appointment will include checking the proper functionality of the system through the thermostat, and for maintenance visits, checking the CO/smoke detectors. Estimates are customized to your needs and include consultation and a tour of the existing setup. For these reasons and more, we insist you are home and available to speak during your appointment.
We offer short two-hour windows of arrival for your convenience. We also send a text to alert you when the technician is on their way.
-
Be home and available to speak with the technician during the window of arrival and an additional hour after. The tech may not arrive until the end of the window, therefore we insist you plan to be available for an additional hour after the window.
Know the location of all equipment and make sure that they are accessible. Our crew is unable to move any of your belongings. They will arrive with a ladder.
Make sure all pets are kept away from where the technician will be working. This includes both inside and outside the house.
Maintain a six-foot distance from the technician. Out of respect for our elderly and immune compromised clients, we appreciate you keeping a safe distance.
