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.

Description of Work: Honey's Air has completed the first part of a major project. They installed a new hvac system for our home replacing the old two unit system with a highly efficient one unit system with separate zones. It is working very well and we are much more comfortable throughout the house. The old system could not keep the upstairs cool enough to be livable. Honey's air people were very reliable and provided exactly the services they promised, including moving the new heat exchanger to the roof giving us more room and quiet on our patio. They will be installing solar the first week in July. We are looking forward to reducing our electrical rates. We will own or system and they have made it possible for us to receive deep discounts on our taxes through the HERO program. These folks are definitely not the cheapest guys in town, but you get what you pay for.

The Honey's Air crew arrived on time and was completely professional throughout the installation. During every step of the way the man who oversaw the crew told us what to expect and how installation would proceed. He was also prompt in reporting back to us that PG&E had approved the rebate. The installation went smoothly, with two men doing the physical installation of the new equipment. The old equipment was loaded into the truck and taken away at the end of the first day. When they left the first day, the work area was cleaned up. Full description of the working of the thermostat, filter requirements, and annual check-ups were performed by the crew. As part of the PG&E rebate requirements, another company came later to do a "quality assurance" check. At this time the crew chief and one of the installers from Honey's Air also arrived to ensure the inspection went as planned. All three of these men were conducting the check for roughly three hours. A small gas leak was found close to the furnace unit and Honey's Air sent a technician out within two hours to repair the leak. All in all we are quite happy with the service and follow-up Honey's Air provided.
Description of Work: Honey's Air provided the new Lennox HVAC system to us. We found them through our local Costco store. The initial sales representative came over to describe the full system, both heating and air conditioning units. He described in full the rebates offered through Pacific Gas & Electric (we received a $2,000.00 rebate) as well as the award of a $1,000.00 "cash card" from Costco. That brought the original estimate of $14,816.00 down to $11,816.00. The crew from Honey's Air assessed the total existing system (ducting, thermostat, air returns and furnace/air conditioner) and installed the new HVAC during two days in April.

I called first thing in the morning knowing that it was going to be hard to try to get a same-day appointment since it's summer time. However the lady that I talked to on the phone was extremely rude- treating me like I broke the ac on purpose and it was just inconvenient that I called. Then she decided that she was going to call me back at about 1030 so 2 1/2 hours later, And make me repeat what my AC was doing. At 11:30 she called back and said that the day was just too busy and that she probably wasn't going to be able to work me in. I told her if she would've told me that first thing in the morning I could've called someone else but now that it was so late no one would probably be able to get me an appt. An hour later a different woman called and asked again what my problem was with AC, and told me that she was going to make an appointment and that someone would be able to come out between the next hour to four hours. Woo hoo, within 45 min I got a call from the tech saying he was on his way- it took him maybe 30 min from start to finish and my 1yr old and I were 'chillin'!!

It didn't cost anything because it was under warranty, we had installed a new heating and air conditioning unit last February. How soon can we get there was basically their question. They are extremely neat and clean, and very conscientious. In our case, we had not only have a new unit installed, they did a complete energy on our house and they had hopes of getting a thousand dollars PG&E rebate and they got $1500. They wear the booties, they check everything, make sure everything stays clean and is replaced exactly the way it was. Most of the work is on the roof so it's not a big problem but if they have to come, they came and did energy audits on all the duct work so every duct work was sealed and unsealed. They've been in business for a number of years and they are extremely knowledgeable and we dealt with about 9 people over the 2 months and they were all extremely knowledgeable. There were 9 people off and on in their company that did my work. I interviewed 3 companies and we chose them because of the quality of their ratings that we were getting through Better Business Bureau and we have several other friends who recommended them so we felt they came well recommended. With the rebate, they came in below anyone else of the 3 major companies. They gave us a good product that is top of the line.
Description of Work: Honey's Air came out to check the faint vibration we had in the air conditioner. They said it's probably a fan that's faintly out of balance so it will be replaced tomorrow. For the energy audit, they sealed the house, they pumped air out of it and see how much leakage we have in our windows and all the duct work in our house. After they redid the duct work, they came back and repeated it.

I had Honeys Air come to check out my A/C Unit. They went up on the roof to inspect it and came down and told me my Unit was bad. They said my heat exchanger was cracked and it was leaking carbon monoxide in to the house and we could die. They quoted us a new unit for $7000. When I got some second opinions, the thing was never even opened up to look. So they'd never actually checked it and there was nothing wrong with the unit. First of all they're supposed to do a service, which didn't happen. I did call the owner who wanted to come out and inspect it again but I said no. And they did refund me the money.

They exchanged a "Control Board" on my heating unit, and when I asked to see the old part, it had a blown fuse on it. When I asked the tech about the fuse, he said that he probably blew it when he was testing circuits. Maybe if he was testing the circuits with a "Hammer". Live and learn!
