J ohn Neuman founded Right Now Air & Solar in 2001 after working in the heating and air conditioning field after his high school graduation in Michigan.

Neuman met his wife soon after graduation and the couple moved to California, where he was hired on with a Solano-based heating and air conditioning company and worked his way up to general manager. After 12 years of dedicated service, he found the company unwilling to adapt or change and had lost the values of customer service. At that time, Neuman devoted himself to building more than just a heating and air conditioning company.

“At Right Now Air & Solar we do things differently than other companies. From our friendly office staff to our knowledgeable NATE-certified service technicians, we want you to have the finest service experience,” Neuman says. “During the hiring process, all employees go through an extensive background check, drug screen and must have a clean driving record. We find only the best people so you can feel comfortable and confident that the job will be done right the first time.”

Neuman says Right Now Air & Solar leads with honesty and pure intentions in every interaction – traits he says led to the company’s selection as Best Heating and Air Company in the Daily Republic’s 2023 Readers’ Choice survey.

“We’re never trying to take advantage of anyone and always put our customers first,” Neuman says. “Unlike many of our competitors, our goal is to not just band-aid your home energy problems. Our experts are trained to find out why your bill is so high, not just cover it up with solar. Once we fix the why, you don’t have to spend anywhere near the same amount of money on energy saving products like solar.”

The company’s approach resonates with customers.

“We had both solar and HVAC systems installed. Both crews worked very well together and were very communicative by letting us know what they were doing the entire process,” Right Now customer Terry Hartman says. “They also did duct cleaning and were very careful around our furniture and made sure to keep things clean inside the house. We have been extremely impressed by Right Now Air and would recommend them to anyone. From the very first interaction with Adam to Ken, the supervisor, and with the crew of Rocky, Jesse, Eddie and Oscar, they all made the experience stress-free and enjoyable.”

“Our clients form a relationship with our staff because they see the same people for years,” Neuman says. “This creates a bond of trust and comfort while in their homes. Our company is rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau since we joined in 2012. Right Now Air & Solar holds licenses in heating, air conditioning and solar along with other specialized licenses and training in our field.”

Keeping each member of the installation and service team current with industry standards is important to Neuman.

“The technicians and installers are constantly being educated with the newest technology so that we may pass this benefit on to our customers,” he says. “We have ‘fair book pricing’ that has been carefully calculated for our staff to reference and have kept the same diagnostic charge for weekdays, after hours, weekends and customer’s expectations and being there when they need us,” Neuman says. “We work hard at maintaining our standing as the top heating, air and solar company in the area. With our constant and never-ending improvement, we strive to achieve our goal of 100% customer satisfaction.”

Neuman said the company’s working newest technology; the care that’s taken when making a repair or installing equipment; and the respect shown to clients from the first call into the office until the final service is completed.

“We believe we were voted best in our category because we truly care for our clients and treat them like we would a family member,” Neuman says. “The repair part and the new equipment is only as good as the installer and we stand behind everything that we do.”
