    My new condenser.  7/2021.
    Bill B.

    Replacing the HVAC system in your house is a big investment, and it really pays to do your research before jumping in. The system in my house was grossly undersized, and was not able to get the house cooler than the mid to low 80s, which was especially tough with this hot summer we've been having. I did my due diligence, and had estimates from three of the top Yelp-rated HVAC companies. CenCal sent out Brandon to take a look at my situation and give me an estimate for a complete system replacement. He immediately stood out - his professionalism and knowledge were both beyond expectation. He had already researched information about my house before coming out, and talked to me about the square footage of my house, the windows (number, size, and placement), my vaulted ceilings, and other details that impact selecting the correctly sized system. He went through my house with me, looking at everything and checking out the old system. He determined that the ideal system size for my house would be a 4 ton unit, and that made sense not only because of his calculations, but also because the current systems was a 3-ton that was not keeping the house cool at all. Brandon also talked about adding a couple of new registers to my frequently occupied main room to increase airflow. With the professionalism and knowledge that Brandon displayed and the services that CenCal offers both during the installation and with follow up maintenance, I decided to go with them. Being 100% clear, CenCal was not the lowest bid, but in cases like this where is a big investment that will last many years, it pays to pay a little more for far superior quality of work and follow up. You really do get what you pay for. Installation came the next week - the crew was here bright and early and 7:15am, along with a supervisor. He went through the job with me, and we he showed me the ideal places for my new registers, which I agreed to. Then the crew got to work right away - A guy stared unhooking and removing my furnace from the closet, a guy went into the attic to run the ducting and install the new registers, and a guy started removing condenser in my side yard. These guys were super-efficient and very friendly. I was working from home at the time, and I would check in with them occasionally to see how things were going, and they would always take the time to explain what they were doing and why. I had done a little research, and was interested to learn more about how these systems worked, etc. As they worked, they also had a guy that removed all of the register covers, sealed the ducting, and then replaced the registers. He then covered the registers in preparation for the duct pressure test. When everything was ready, they did run a pressure test and the system was well below the 15% required to pass per code. The heater and AC were tested and both worked great - we could really feel the air movement with the bigger lower and extra registers! They had cleaned up and left the house by 3:30pm that day... I couldn't believe they were done so quickly! When they left, my house was clean and it was like they were never here, except things were cooling down. By that evening, my house was in the low 70s and maintaining it with no problem. A few days later, Brandon came back out to check on how things went and provide me with a binder that had all of my information - the manuals, my 10-year warranty, etc. CenCal also takes care of the paperwork for my MID rebate - all I had to do was provide my account number and some info. The only last step will be when the City Inspector comes out for the final inspection. Overall, my experience at CenCal was excellent. Everyone I dealt with from the office personnel to Brandon to the installers were all super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. If you are thinking that you will need any HVAC work or an installation done, you really need to make CenCal your first call. Based upon my experience with them, they will be my first and only call in the future.

    Gift from CENCAL staff. Totally unexpected.

    The technician was on time, professional and neat and clean. He respected my property by wearing bootees over his shoes. Excellent job.

    I cannot say enough great things about this company. Monday our HVAC unit was blowing air but not…read morecold air. Called Loves and was able to get an appointment for Wednesday. Nathan showed up and was amazing! Unfortunately our system was not so great and basically died completely. Nathan tried everything he could but the situation was out of his hands. He quickly called the office and within an hour had Zia at our home to talk new systems. We were not expecting to need to purchase a new system and were pretty short on time, but Zia was amazing and explained everything in a quick manner. He answered all questions we had, and found the right system for us. Zia worked so fast that he was able to secure us an installation date for Friday of that week and not make us late to pick up our kids from school. Since we had to replace our roof last October, I had questions about how to not compromise our roof warranty with this work being done. Zia was once again amazing and did everything he could to explain everything and even 3-way called me and their roofing company so that I felt confident in what was going to be done. Today (Friday) Timothy and his crew showed up right on time and got to work. Took about 6-7 hours to take down and install. Cleaned up really nicely and answered all questions we had. Even a silly question I had about filters. Overall this experience was as easy as possible considering the situation. Let's face it, replacing an HVAC unit is not cheap by any means, but Nathan, Zia and Timothy's crew really helped make this unfortunate situation a little easier. Thank you Loves Air!

They were professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, hardworking, and they took the time to answer our questions and keep everything clean and done right.

For example, Santiago built us a custom drainage pipe, Wyatt and Andrew applying extra touch up work. We truly appreciate their attention to detail, teamwork, and excellent customer service!

I scheduled an appointment, and Carlos R. was there at 8 am Friday morning to check my AC. HVAC systems are complicated but they are also a big investment, and so I wanted to understand everything and Carlos R. patiently explained everything and answered all of my questions in a straightforward and honest manner (I had a small amount of AC knowledge and also looked up some things after the visit). It didn't make sense to repair it as so much of my system was obsolete, and so I ended up deciding to proceed with a new system. DeHart dropped off a portable AC for my bedroom so that I wasn't miserable during the heatwave over the weekend, and the DeHart crew came early on Monday am and installed everything while I was at work--they were careful with my house and I came home to a clean and air-conditioned house. Carlos R. came back a couple days later to close the loop and answered my questions on how to use the system, the warranty, the maintenance, the permit process, and the rebate. The whole process has been seamless, and the fact that Carlos and DeHart are clearly so detail-oriented gives me a lot of confidence in their long-term quality of service.

I knew that was WAY overpriced. I was able to get the fan motor for $160 on Amazon and installed it myself. I would be very careful if considering using DeHart.

I stand by my review and advise consumers to be careful. Thank you, DeHart for following up.

    Very Disappointed With the Service and How This Was Handled…read more I purchased a new A/C and furnace system from Honey's Air & Solar around 2022-2023, expecting that buying a new system would mean reliable equipment and good customer service. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my experience. About a year after the installation, in 2024, the system started leaking from a flare. Honey's came out, repaired the flare, and added Freon. Since then, I've had a friend who owns a local HVAC company replace my air filter every six months and check the system, so I have continued to maintain it. Around July of this year, I noticed water coming through the sheetrock around the furnace. I removed the filter and found that it was wet. I also noticed condensation on the copper lines, with water dripping onto the filter. The bottom of the filter housing had filled with water, causing damage to my drywall and the surrounding area. I called Honey's Air & Solar to explain what was happening, and instead of feeling like they were interested in helping me figure out why a relatively new system was leaking again, I was accused of neglecting the system and essentially told it was my fault. They eventually sent out a technician, Chris. He couldn't find an obvious leak at the time, but told me the system appeared to be leaking again and that he needed to add Freon and dye so they could hopefully locate the leak later. I was told the service call would be $89 plus the Freon, which came out to around $122. I was also told they would need to return to locate the leak. Then on 8/1/26, I received a message from Marina saying that my $12.99 service plan payment had failed. I was confused because I had never knowingly signed up for a service plan. When I questioned it, I was told, essentially, "You signed for it, so you did." The way this was communicated came across as very condescending and rude. If I had been properly informed about the service plan and what I was agreeing to, I may have considered keeping it, but after that interaction, I told them I didn't want it. Now I'm being told that just coming back to locate the leak will cost $725. And if they determine that it's a new leak, I'm being told the repair could cost more than $2,000. This is what I find extremely frustrating: this is supposed to be a new system. It has already had a leak in the past, has been maintained, and is now leaking again and causing water damage inside my home. I will give Anthony, the service manager, credit for offering to cut the leak-search charge in half. I appreciate that gesture, but I'm still left wondering why I'm facing hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars in costs on a relatively new system that has already had problems. My biggest issue isn't simply the money. It's the way this situation has been handled and the feeling that the responsibility is being pushed onto the homeowner rather than Honey's standing behind the system they sold and installed. If you're considering purchasing a new HVAC system, I strongly recommend asking very detailed questions about the warranty, service plan, leak repairs, and exactly what costs you could be responsible for if something goes wrong after the first year. At this point, I expected much better from a company that sold me a new HVAC system.
