It was 99 degrees at 3:30pm our AC unit on east side of house was purring it was a comfortable 78 inside. We were expecting company for a couple days. All of a sudden sharp screeching noises started coming from our AC fan unit, there was no doubt the neighbors probably heard it too. I knew who to call LaVerne & Son to the rescue. I made an appointment over the phone Vincent showed up right on time. He diagnosed my problem explained the repair (fan motor) and will be taking care of it. Vincent was friendly professional the cost is reasonable and fair. Great service read more

I'm happy with Vincent's customer service over past years he's the man if he can't fix it nobody can

I recently had to replace my 40 year old hvac system. Vincente arrived promptly and quickly accessed my situation. He was friendly, competent in his knowledge of hvac installation, and professional. Unfortunately, his price was too high for me. read more

Rex came out to diagnose our issue and took care of business. Arrived on time, great communication, great 3rd generation business. I will continue to use these folks and recommend them to anyone who asks read more

Friendly customer service, honest and direct communication. The couple times I've had people out here the fix the issue to get the system running again. Ultimately I have to have the system replaced but LaVerne and Sons has walked me through the process. They have been amazing. read more

Perfect sound work. The management is top notch. They actually care about their customers.

The owner, RexLaverne, is very generous with his time, when he has it. Like most owner/operators of small businesses in the "GRUESOME NEWSOME" State of California, our small businesses are suffering tremendously just because of over pricing, due to poorly run government entities. Insurance companies are refusing to reinstate policies because the cost of covering claims and operating in the once "Golden State" (which is now darkened) is simply outrageous. When will this unabashed assault on small businesses/owners/operators end?? Even simple folk who are living off of social security and retirement that they actually worked and sacrificed for (OMG! Work? Sacrifice?) are being targeted. Oh, no! Work and sacrifice are now dirty words. Who does that anymore?? I'll tell you who - Rex LaVerne and his crews. They work hard. Very very hard. Yes, mistakes are always made by workers (as well as customers like myself) who didn't stop to realize the tremendous sacrifices these men have to endure to climb in hot, dark, rat-poop infested attics, crawl spaces, and they do these hard, hard jobs come rain or shine. At times, they really can't even breathe in these horrible places, but for the love of his customers, his country, and freedom that still exists (getting more and more remote) every day, they show up with a smile, ready and willing to face whatever may come their way. Thank you for everything, Rex. You and your company continue to strive (and achieve) credit to your profession. read more

I have several rental Properties. I've had LaVern and sin replace five units so far. They are all superior to ones I replaced 10 years ago. The service is great and the units are superior to others I replaced before finding LaVern and Son. I now have unit in my own home and love it far better than one that came with house. read more

More than worth an update! So Saturday my AC unit started having issues, it was still running but the air didn't feel very cold and it was struggling to keep the temperature in my house below 85. I didn't notice it until around 6pm that night so I gave Rex a call to see if they were available to come out next week. Rex told me they were pretty much booked up through Wednesday but that they installed my unit and it was unacceptable for it to be having problems so he promised me they would find a way to fit me in Monday morning. As promised a tech showed up around 10am and got right to work on it. He identified the problem and fixed it quickly. He was very thorough testing all areas of the unit and making sure it was running to his and my satisfaction. The unit was under full warranty so it didn't cost me anything for parts or labor. Laverne and Son has outstanding customer support and they really care, they made sure I was down for as little time as possible and made sure to get it fixed and let me know what was going on. I'll never use another company for my HVAC needs. read more

We needed our AC checked on a 100+degree day. They were prompt to come out. He replaced Capacitor & a booster. Our AC stopped working and had a experienced tech out. He said he put wrong size capacitor and would burn out motor. He also said booster was not needed. Laverne & Son charged us 750 and part was 100. He also said we need a new unit 10-15,000. Works perfect now after experienced tech fixed. Beware of over charging and false Diagnosing. read more

Coupon was not applied to service, "technician"told my wife unit needed freon then it didn't need freon it needed a $1200. TVX replaced, he didn't re-seal the unit so my struggling unit was now cooling my garage as well. Then the employee left trash in my garage, my wife gave the employee a nice cold bottle of water, he left that trash on the ground next to the unit along with the wrap he pulled off the copper lines. I talked with the employee and he stated he was already at home, he later said he would come back in his personal vehicle and take care of it but I didn't want to have anything to do with this company anymore. I called a different company they did some checking, added some freon and everything is nice and comfortable again. read more

AC went out yesterday at about 4pm right when it was 106 degrees outside. I called them right away and they scheduled me for the next day between 12-4pm. Not ideal, but that's fine I'll work with it. The lady on the phone was very nice and helpful. The next day Kyle called around 1030 saying he's running a bit early and if he could come right now. Hell yeah you can! It's already getting hot. He quickly fixed it, tuned it, and cleaned the coils cause of all the Bakersfield dust. Very reasonable prices and friendly service. Kyle was really nice and helpful with explaining what went wrong. I highly recommend Laverne and Son for your air conditioning needs. read more

Simply put. LaVerne and son is a trustworthy AC business. Granted there was bit of a communication issue on the service hour. However, the maintenance person did a thorough and efficient job, and even checked the fuse box. Great job. read more

They did an excellent job with our system. We had someone come by a year ago and they made a huge mistake with our systems that Laverne and Son caught. Laverne and son spent two long days diagnosing, fixing, installing, working on our system. They were professional and kind. We finally have a system that works! Yay!!! Thank you guys! read more

Do the crew and Personnel of Laverne & Son after the fourth try you finally got my air conditioning working fine so I give you a five-star review I took away my one star. In the future you need to tell your technicians to take a little bit more time and diagnose correctly the first time you know like is a condenser plugged up with dirt is the fan motor plugged up with dirt is the birdcage plugged up with dirt does it have a loose wire does it have a burnt wire is it low on freon that's the reason why we hire professionals we expect you to be a professional and give us Professional Service eventually you did and I appreciate it I will recommend you to somebody else now thank you very much for your time Kurt read more

Laverne and Son f do o a great job. We've used them for two jobs around the house, and both times they proved to be very reliable, and they do very good work. read more

Laverne and Son Heating & Air Conditioners is a very professional and knowledgeable company. I had Stockdale Air Co and also Hillcrest (Emcor Services) Air Condition Co before, both were disappointing in repairs. read more

LaVerne & Son recently installed a new heating system in our home for a reasonable price.

We have used this company for years and they have been reliable and have provided good work. On the summer maintenance this year for our AC a small part was recommended to be replaced: a Packard Definite Purpose Contactor stock number C240A. LaVern and Sons charged us $250 for the part. I checked online and this exact same part can be bought for $11.42. Owner Rex explained they have overhead charges, price of gas, etc., etc...... Right. He provided an invoice said to be from another vendor who charged $350 for the part. All I can say is two wrongs don't make it right and these charges are nowhere near reasonable. read more

Life savers! Came over to my cabin house and my furnace wasn't working! It was Sunday and I was worried no one would be able to drive into the mountains to help. I searched them up and gave them call and offered to help me. They assured me I would be taken care of and made the journey from Bakersfield to PMC. They were able to find the problem and fix it with no issue. Pricing is very reasonable considering the last minute call for help. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has property over in this direction, or for anyone who needs work done on AC/heaters. Thanks again! Definitely saving in my emergency contact book. Good looking out! 10/10. read more

I would recommend this company. They were punctual for my routine maintenance of my HVAC, and gave a great check up with no additional charges read more

Not a pleasure doing business here. felt like the Tech just graduated from Hvac night school and was under pressure to sell a 15k new system. He did not make a recommendation for repairs even though they were possible and pushed a new expensive system. Found another reputable company to replace a system for 6k cheaper. When I told him it was to expensive he pushed financing, no thanks. They charge $100 just to tell me that. read more

I just had some service work done on my 3 a/c units. Mario Medina their service technician came out to inspect them. I was very pleased at how professional and service orientated Mario was. Didn't hard sell me. Informed me of the condition of all 3 units and presented his professional advice in a easy, understandable manner. I will wholeheartedly recommend La Verne & Son. ​​​ read more

Called with a question about installing a new A/C in a home that did not previously have one. The girl, didn't get her name, on the phone was very helpful answering all my questions even with the little information I actually had. Scheduled an estimate, Rex came out quickly, answered all my questions, gave me quotes on the spot. They were able to install my new system within a week. Brandon and his crew came out, very professional, answered all my questions, demonstrated how to use the system and told me to call with any questions or concerns stating someone would come out if I had any issues. Excellent service. Couldn't recommend them more highly!! Don't hesitate. Call 'em! read more

Excellent service and reasonably priced. The technician was thorough in his explanation and quick to address any questions we had. We will be calling them again for our next tune up! read more

This company is exceptional. Upon first introduction for a new air condition system the owner (Rex) was super professional and very informative. Gave me all of options and talked through each one, I never felt pressured or felt up-sold. Was able to make an appointment for install the following week. They also offered very helpful financing options. Install of my new unit took two days. Both days the crew was on time and efficient. Super polite and even was careful with closing doors so my indoor critters wouldn't get out. They even laid down plastic along their walking path to protect the flooring from damage. I will only be using and referring LaVerne & Son for my maintenance and future HVAC needs! read more

Love my New AC! Was a breeze getting everything installed quickly! Kyle helped decide the right unit for my home. The guys who came out and installed the unit were very professional. Help me set up my new thermostat and explained to me how it worked. Would highly recommend and will use again. read more

An update to the original review I posted on another website after the install in 2020 (which I've included below). I've had my system for 18 months and have had the semi annual services and inspections completed. The tech has always been on time and very professional. The systems have worked perfectly and maintains the set temperatures. I have the "fan mode" set to "circulate" at 15 minutes each hour to evenly distribute the air throughout the house. This eliminates any hot spots in the summer and also provides additional air filtration. We are completely satisfied with the system, the services, the equipment, and the company. I was not asked to complete this review as I've experienced in the past with previous businesses I've dealt with, but rather felt other consumers might find it useful when searching for a reliable HVAC company. I needed to replace two 28 year old split system units and over the course of one month I obtained 4 bids from well known HVAC companies in Bakersfield. LaVerne & Son was one those bids and it is very unique in that you're dealing with the owner of family owned business where it's obvious both business and family reputation are at stake. The owner, Rex, prepared the bid for two Trane HVAC split systems and was very responsive to my change requests and made adjustments as necessary offering me more than one option. The installation went smoothly and was performed by his son, who made it clear that our satisfaction was their main objective. The equipment works just as promised and I'm extremely happy with the entire project. Before and after the installation any calls I've made with questions are either immediately addressed or my call is promptly returned. You would not find this type of personal service with a national installer or a Costco special (which I NEVER considered). I highly recommend LaVerne & Son if you need HVAC services or installations. The company provides a quality product with personal & professional services. read more

Yearly we have our air conditioner serviced in the spring for the upcoming summer. We choose Laverne & Son because they are honest and knowledgeable. They always give us great service and show up when they say they will. Yesterday was no exception. I asked for a no contact appointment because of the COVID-19 restrictions and they were happy to do so. We highly recommend them. read more

I used LaVerne and Son recently to install a home solar power system and a new HVAC unit. I was very happy with their work, professionalism, and the products. read more

Came out just to look at our unit and charged $100. Didn't even tell us over the phone that there was an estimate fee. All of the other places I had called had free estimates, I assumed they did the same. Very unprofessional not mentioning that bit over the phone. read more

Our experience has not been positive. The wife of the owner is so rude, thinks she is better than anyone else, doesn't answer the phone. She's so unpleasant. The tech came to my home and immediately told us $4,000 repair without showing us any proof, until we requested multiple times. We finally saw photos that basically show nothing. In my opinion, if you use this company get a second, maybe third opinion. I got a second opinion and it was vastly different from LaVerne and Sons. They pushed for us to fill out financial application through Well Fargo to pay for repair. Well Fargo doesn't even do personal loans anymore. The service tech and the owner are very nice, but the wife is so rude that I will never do business with them. She's reminds me of a Karen. All of this review is our opinion and no one forced us to write it. Again, our personal experience. read more
