Honey's Air & Solar

Heating and Air Conditioning, Solar Panels, Water Heaters,

About us

The year was 1950, on the heels of the second world war Jack Lavine, a young entrepreneur and heating and air conditioning craftsman opened Lavine & Co., a heating company in Oakland California with a dream and a passion for serving his community. Just a few years later, halfway across the country in the small town of Bessemer, Bob Broman opened Blue Flame Heating with the same dream, drive and passion to help his community thrive in the bitter cold of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. While Bob continued as the owner/operator of Blue Flame Heating until his retirement in 2005, Jack partnered with Norm Kay to help grow his business. Lavine & Co. grew, but slower than they wanted, so they brought in some “fresh blood”, Norm’s son Dale to accelerate growth. With Lavine & Co. growing into a leader in the Oakland heating market, Dale quickly realized he needed more help. In 1998 he brought on his niece Jacque Santos. Jacque and Dale led Lavine’s to over a decade of prosperity, until 2009 when they opted for a better lifestyle in the Central Valley. In 2009 Honey's. was born. Jacque and Dale opened Honey's. with the same goals Bob Broman and Jack Lavine had – to serve their community and neighbors. In 2014 Dale was ready to focus on his family, so he invited Ray Broman (Bob Broman’s Grandson) to purchase his portion of Honey's. Using the training and tools Ray had acquired in his 15 years in the HVAC industry, and the absolute best co-workers, Ray and Jacque grew Honey's Air, Inc. into the premier home services provider in the Central Valley. Today Honey's Air, Inc. boasts a large team of many employees, including Ray’s wife, son and daughter, along with Jacque’s father, uncle and son. We have adopted and embraced the “No Stinger Promise”, our unique offer in the market.

It was my fault that decided to install the solar system with Honey's air solar.jest because of good reviews web.I didn't expect them to have no experience , every city follows the law of installation . From the beginning to decision to installation was made in January 20022. As result task completed at the end of October 2022. It was irresponsible for the workers to find the installation. made holes or sabotage for the wall. multiple times with the installation manager via email and phone. promise it will fix . Now say that's it. not taking responsibility. Maybe the company specialized heating or air condition not solar.
Description of Work: unprofessional and irresponsible

Response from Honey's Air & Solar
Thanks for taking the time to write your review [Member Name Removed]. We are glad you were able to have your unit repaired. We like to give our clients options when it comes to their homes. Your technician found a potentially unsafe condition in your furnace, and gave you the option to look into replacing it. We will use your review as a lesson to make sure we do a better job of communicating all of the options our clients have. Thanks again for taking the time to write your review.

We made an appointment and luckily it was able to be moved to 2 days earlier. The technician made a thorough examination of our thermostat, air conditioner and fan area. He was able to pinpoint the trouble and had us up and running again in approximately 1 hour.

The person in the office I spoke with was very friendly helpful when assisting with my inquiry about their diagnostic services. I was lucky enough to get an appointment for later in the afternoon on the same day. The tech, Jason, called to let us know he was ahead of schedule (45min) and asked if it was ok that he come early. He was friendly, courteous and went right to assessing the issue. After just a few minutes he had us up and running. He didn’t rush out though - he stayed and performed several test cycles, explained what he found and provided some education on how the system works. He also made some recommendations on things to watch and plan to replace sooner rather than later but without any pressure or pushy sales tactics. He informed us of the different services offered, again, no pressure. Will be using them for our seasonal maintenance check and would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: Heater would not turn on. You could hear it start to fire up but then nothing-no air coming from the vents at all.

Excellent work, done in one day. Replaced split system along with thermostat, coolant lines, drain line, vent, electric & gas hookups, plus added another intake vent, all for the quoted price. City Inspector found a couple minor problems w/ caulking in the utility closet, and Honey's came out and fixed at no charge. Later discovered the drain line had separated under the house, and they came out again and fixed at no charge. AC has been working great.

It was like a yearly maintenance. They came out and added a little bit of Freon. The unit did break down about a month and a half after that. But, it was totally unrelated to the work they had done. The quality of their work seems to be fine.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal from them. They just did an annual service on the heat pump.

One furnace was not working and he had it diagnosed in about 15 minutes. He actually had to create a part from few different ones and had the work done within an hour. It has worked fine since then. They charged more. It was $79 off of the total bill. The total ended up something like $300. The part alone was $250. They had to use my ladder to get on to the roof. He was very efficient. They were very timely. He was late, but it wasn't his fault.

simon hermiz showed up for the estimate appointment on time. he kept asking me what it was i wanted an estimate for, i guess so he could be certain i was using the correct terminology, as i'm sure consumers don't always know what all the different parts of an hvac system are. after we clarified i needed my a/c condensor replaced, in its entirety, he said his company only replaces EVERYTHING and not just the condensor. well, i don't need or want EVERYTHING in my hvac system replaced. he said, "it'll be between $3000 and $5000". that's not an estimate. that's lazy nothingness.

The salesman person was really bad. When the work was all said and done it was fine. They have a couple of customer service things that they could probably make better. I think because Costco was standing behind them that they made them respond back to me. The scheduling was not good and they scheduled me 3 weeks out. It was in the middle of a heat wave and I called them to schedule the service sooner. They kept making excuses until I called Costco. They also did not post a permit which is code in California and I had to get on them about that.

Technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He checked the entire system and found problems with the thermostat and the control panel. While they didn't have a control panel in stock at their warehouse for our system, our technician drove to their supplier and picked one up then came back and installed it so we would have heat that night. When I asked about potential upgrades to our system, he was very knowledgeable and honest about the pros and cons of various options. I would definitely call them the next time!!
