History

Established in 1973.

Blake’s Heating and Air Conditioning is family owned and operated and has been serving Yolo and Solano counties since 1973. We have one of the oldest contracting licenses in the business and know what our customers want. We install only the best equipment and provide service and repair at a fair price. We established a relationship with Lennox in 1976 and are still proud to install Lennox products today. In 2006 Blake’s was awarded the Circle of Excellence Award from Lennox. We are proud to be one of the top 40 Lennox dealers in the nation.

Blake’s is one of the few companies still charging hourly rates for service as when the company was founded. Clients are charged for materials and labor only. Our estimators and technicians are not commissioned so their concern is what is best for our customers. We treat our customers well and they in turn give us the best advertising, word of mouth.

Meet the Business Owner

Mark B.

Business Owner

Mark was born into the heating and air conditioning industry. His father was an air conditioning mechanic with UCD before opening Blake’s in 1973 and his older brother worked for a large heating and air company in Sacramento doing ductwork on large projects such as Arco Arena. Mark was born and raised in Davis and attended Davis High School.

After graduating from the Universal Technical Institute in Arizona in 1985, he returned to work at Blake’s as an installer/​service technician. He took over as General Manager in 1992 and shortly thereafter as owner. Mark is a «hands on» business owner and takes great pride in Blake’s quality, service and installations.

If I could give zero stars I would have. I work in a dental office in Davis. During a rush/​busy day, three men came in and said we are here to change your filters. They reeked of cigarette smoke. No introduction or common courtesy. They opened the return and proceeded to vacuum dust while we had patients in the chair and the front office was attempting to have conversations with patients. When they were «finished» I looked up at the return and noticed it was still open ! I informed one of the men that the return was still open and he says «oh I’ll fix that for you.» I had to spray the office because the cigarette smell lingered after they left. I would never recommend this VERY unprofessional company to anyone. Business or residential

The igniter on my heater failed sometime last night and I woke up with the temperature at 58 degrees. I called Blake’s and was told they had someone available they could send. A half hour later, Tim was here and took care of the problem. The charge was within reason, as I’ve always found it to be with Blake’s. I’m going to have Blake’s install dual zone heating and air at a later date. Thank you Blake’s for your excellent customer service.

We had water dripping from our secondary pipe. We were charged for the diagnostics and unclogging by pushing air. It didn’t solve the problem. The technician came again the day after and changed the tubing (added a p-​trap) to solve the problem, but it didn’t fix the problem again. We were told that we have to install a secondary tray which will cost around $ 1800, but it wasn’t worth it and we better change the entire system.
I called another company because I was really skeptical. They quickly figured the problem was a clog inside the furnace and not the tubings, unclogged it and finished the job in 15 min, and $ 70. The fix was so minimal, I was not even charged for that (I was only charged for the diagnostics.).
I called Blake’s, and explained the situation. They asked me to send the other company’s report and they’ll call me back, which they never did.
I cannot recommend this company at all. The only reason I give them two stars is because the technician himself was really polite and nice.

Every time I need my HVAC repaired I call Blakes. I own a shop in downtown Davis, and climate control is extremely important for my business (my fish might die if it gets too hot or cold). One time I called in the middle of heatwave and of course they were slammed! I was terrified that I would not be able to get help. I calmly explained the situation and they were out within 24 hours. Our HVAC unit is on top of the store, and the poor Blakes technician had to stand out there cleaning our HVAC in the 100+ degree weather. I was tossing ice cold bottles of water up to him, but he fixed the problem and my AC was up and running in no time.
Today my heating component broke and Blakes was out within the same day and fixed my heater very quickly. While I can’t speak to the price that they charge as my landlord pays the bill, I can attest to the great service. I feel people run into problems when they start yelling at business over the phone. Calmly explain your situation and I’m sure Blakes will help you the best they can.

We had Blakes come out and service our air conditioner and heater. They were prompt and very professional. Their prices were very reasonable. I would recommend them.

A big shout out to Blake’s Heating and Air conditioning!!!
Our air conditioner broke this afternoon and we didn’t realize it until 5 PM. Austin came out and fixed it! He was polite and professional, as everyone who has ever come out from Blake’s heating and air-​conditioning. Thank you thank you!

I called Blake’s around noon for a service appointment because my A/​C stopped working, and Tim showed up around 2 pm. He quickly diagnosed the problem and replaced a motor and checked the rest of the equipment. No charge! It was all covered under warranty. Tim also changed the filter and installed a fitting on the condensate line. I was impressed with the promptness and quality of the service.

I feel that I dodged a bullet! A/​C quit yesterday, one of the hottest days of the year, and it got up to 90 degrees in my place. Called Blake’s Heating and Air Conditioning in Davis last night and left a message. They returned my call at 7:30 this morning and they had a man here in Woodland at 8:30! It was an easy fix… blown fuse. Took less than 20 minutes to fix. I have used this company in the past and I highly recommend them. I gave the fellow some zucchinis and cucumbers from my garden. Happy Day!

If I could leave 6 stars I would! We just moved to Davis and had to have the 1985 HVAC in our house replaced. Everyone recommended Blake’s. They were very responsive, Mark personally came out to estimate, and provided us with a fair quote that had a few different options so we can decide what works best based on our needs. Kaitlin was great on email, clarified some questions, and got us scheduled. On the day of our install, Blake’s showed up on time, everyone was professional, completed the work, and did a great job cleaning up.
But did you know they worked on dryer vents too?! After getting our washer and dryer installed, we discovered that our dryer vent did not go outside. The vent caused the dryer to overheat and get stop working. Also since this is a gas dryer, this means carbon monoxide is being released into the attached garage we go in and out of many times during the day. How this was missed by our home and city inspection, I have no idea! After we realized that many of the companies that work on dryer vents are actually HVAC companies, we called Blake’s (and yes we actually used the little magnet they gave us to find the number :-)
Turns they do work on dryer vents too which was good news given we had a positive experience with our HVAC. Jean got a message to Brian, their General Manager, who came by when he was done with other work, and they managed to get us in the same day when one of their HVAC jobs ended early.
Blake’s has not only earned our trust but our gratitude — we thank everyone at Blake’s for being so great to work with and doing great work. I would not hesitate to recommend them and we will be using them for our yearly maintenance.

Last week I had the ac capacitor replaced by technician, John. He immediately identified the problem, but still followed through and gave me a thorough and informative inspection. He answered all my questions happily, and gave me lots of info on what could be an issue in the future.
A week later and my ac is covered in frost and struggling to move any air. I call Blake’s back up, a little ticked off to have to call them again in one week. They were very polite and accommodating over the phone and set me up with an appointment with the same technician that afternoon! They were even willing to waive the visit fee.
John showed up and immediately identified the problem again. It ended up being one of the issues he’d mentioned at his last visit — the added efficiency of my new capacitor had caused this issue to rear up!
In summary, I’m overjoyed with the service I received from John and everyone at Blake’s. I will definitely continue to do business with them, and would encourage everyone else to as well. Hang in there for that appointment even if they’re booked, because you will not be disappointed.

I have used Blake’s twice in the last year and both experiences were stellar!
The first time I called them because it was 108 degrees and my air conditioner didn’t work. I had a senior dog with severe cardiac disease and she was not handling the heat. I was initially told they were booked until the following week but when I told them about my dog, the woman on the phone took my number and said she would see what she could do. Within 3 minutes I got a call back and within half an hour the technician arrived to service my unit. The dog and I took a drive in the air conditioned car and when it became clear the unit was fried, I was given an early appointment for replacement. The work was completed in a timely and professional manner, and the bill matched the estimate exactly.
The second call was for my rental property. The 55yr old furnace was finally dead and since the ac unit was pretty old, Mark recommended we replace all of the system. He offered me several options of how to work it: Replace both and leave in original location, replace heater only and move it to the attic, or replace both units and put the heater in the attic, giving me a larger space for a bathroom renovation that was already underway. We went with the whole system moved to the attic and scheduled for 10 days later. The crew arrived right on time and worked neatly and quickly to bring our system up to code and into the attic. They left the property completely clear of debris from the work, even vacuuming up all the dust and rust that the old machine was dropping. Very professional crew, very professional install, I would definitely call Blake’s if I have any more HVAC needs.

I’ve only heard from friends and acquaintances about their services and none of them had any complaints. Service was fast and efficient. The one thing that I do want to say though is, if you ever walk past their business, BE CAREFUL. Their drivers come out really fast and a friend of mine almost got hit by a driver zooming out. I understand if someone’s in a rush and needs to get to an appointment fast… but as a pedestrian on the sidewalk, I think we have the right of way. I feel like a goose stretching my neck to see if there’s a service vehicle coming out everyday when I walk past here.

I have had a few great experiences with this company. First, when we were selling a home they came and did the needed repairs fast and out tenant at the time said that they were great and communicated everything very clearly. Second, when we were looking at having our AC moved or replaced the quote was well below what I was expecting for all that work. Lastly, I needed to have a piece of sheet metal made to specific dimensions and they were able to do it on the spot! I was in and out in under 15 min. I would recommend Blake’s to anyone.

All I can tell you is that Mark Blake stands behind the work his company does regardless of how the manufacturer may have screwed up. Without going into to too much detail he called me and told me an issue I had with a just recently out of warranty failure would be covered by him and he would go after the manufacturer after the fact.
Service like that does’t come often but when it does it makes you a lifelong customer.

As a home owner, a real estate agent, and as a property investor, I’ve used Blake’s Heating & Air on nearly a dozen properties in the past three years. The few unfortunate times I’ve had to use another company for one reason or another, I’ve been very disappointed. While the servicemen with Blake’s have consistently been professional, timely, and most importantly competent, other companies I’ve had the misfortune of working with seemed to only deliver inflated bills, «half fixed» projects, or people who just didn’t have their act together.
Blake’s finds the problem, fixes the problem and bills fairly — and as a result they have a very loyal customer.

The A/​C broke down at my 98-​year-​old mother-​in-​laws house on a 108 degree day.
We called Blake’s but were turned away and told it would be 2 days before someone could come by even when we explained the situation could be life threatening.

I called today for service on our old furnace, as the fan was not turning on (no cold air on a 93 degree day!). The first person I spoke with asked some questions and told me she could have someone out a couple hours later! I was amazed!
Dustin showed up and was quick to diagnose the problem. He was clean, professional, and answered all of my questions. He recommended a part replacement, but was able to make the unit operational until we can get it replaced later this summer.
There is a reason we skip the major HVAC company down the road, and go with Blake’s, they are the BEST!

Just called on Blake’s for the first time today after discovering that my heating system didn’t work. I was especially anxious to have it serviced this afternoon since, as I understand it, many of these businesses are closed during the weekend (or else you pay more at the «emergency» rate).
The technician was very professional. He called and arrived a little more than an hour after my call. After we mistakenly thought the heating unit was in the attic, he moved some rather heavy furniture and intrepidly climbed up to the entrance of the attic crawlspace which was located near the peak of our vaulted ceiling. The angle and lack of supporting structures made the situation look so precarious! Upon discovering nothing there, he found the unit in the garage and was able to diagnose and fix the problem very quickly. He had also taken the time to check out the air filter and clean that.
I would call upon Blake’s whenever need arises again!

AWESOME! Our hot water in our apartment wasn’t working. I called my apartment management (ALLY PROPERTIES) and they TOLD ME to call them. They came out a first time, but the problem persisted. After a second time, they were on a mission to get our water fixed!
Anyway, the representative I had spoken to was extremely helpful and had great customer service. And now our water is super hot.
