Today we’d like to introduce you to Howard and Dan Oven.
Howard and Dan, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
A Full-Service Company Since 1990:
We’re HomeWiz, and we’ve been a family owned and operated business serving the Greater Boston Area since 1990. Fully certified, licensed, and ensured, our HomeWiz electrical and HVAC technicians are ready to solve home service dilemmas — from standard issues such as power outages and annual tune-ups to more modern obstacles such as home automation and smart technology installations. We provide same-day service, up-front pricing, and a team of expert technicians.
A TRUE FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS:
We thrive on repeat and referral business. We are thankful to our wonderful customers that keep calling us back for additional work. We are fortunate to have a team of ethical, customer-oriented professionals. Our employees are highly motivated and skilled at what they do; they bring excitement and ambition to our company. That’s what makes us Voted Best Home Services Company!
As many of you are aware, electrical systems in your home can be quite dangerous. For this reason, it is important to have your home inspected and repaired if necessary on a regular basis. Having this work done by a licensed, insured and experienced electrical team like HomeWiz is critical to the safety of your family and home. We know how important family and home are to you because they are equally important to us. Choose safety, choose HomeWiz.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
If it ain’t broke, why fix it? The process of rebranding a company –especially one that’s been established for 25 years—is never easy. So why go through the hassle at all? The bottom line is that our customers’ opinions mean everything to us. We wanted our brand to reflect our dedication to service, and to show that our family cares. We are a family owned and operated business after all, and we put in an immense amount of attention and detail to each job that we complete.
We wanted to apply that same attention and detail to our brand.
To help with the rebranding process, we hired 36 Creative — an agency based in Salem, New Hampshire — simply because they too, understand that brands matter a great deal. Trent Sanders led the project and assured us that the process would be done right. Their team delivered, and now we have a comprehensive, visually appealing and creative brand that represents who we are and what we do. Our ‘home wiz,’ a cheery guy with a cap and glasses, is a reflection of who we aspire to be: industry experts, but with a supportive and positive attitude – the epitome of good customer service.
Next, we needed to spread the word about our new brand. Direct Printing and Graphics – a printing and promotions company based out of Wells, Maine – was essential in that journey. Bill and Lindsey Hery ensured that we had the right selection when it came to everything from hats and t-shirts to mugs and pencils. It didn’t hurt that they’re a family owned and operated business too – they recognized our challenges and goals when it came to marketing our new look.
As the process draws to a close, we’re happy to say that we’re completely satisfied with our new brand. It’s clean, creative, and modern – but most importantly, we believe that it represents who we are: a company that cares. Stay tuned for more updates on our new journey as HomeWiz.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about HomeWiz – what should we know?

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY:
At HomeWiz, we strongly believe that we have a responsibility to give back to the communities in which we serve and reinforce our role as a cornerstone of the Boston area. Out of all of the HVAC companies in Boston, we’re one of the few that are committed to building the community through volunteer and charity work. Our family truly does care, and we go above and beyond to support our community in any way that we can. After all, the Greater Boston area is our home too, and we want to make it a better place not only by offering our services but by giving back and getting involved.
We enjoy getting involved. We sponsor a local youth baseball team, The Belmont Rockies. We donate to and participate in Boston’s fundraising walk, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, to raise awareness and funds to save lives from breast cancer. And we donate to Wake Up Narcolepsy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to narcolepsy research funding and awareness.
We’re always looking for new opportunities to support important causes. We’re dedicated to serving your home, your family, and your community.
