How Honey’s Air & Solar Turned One ecobee Pro PIN into a $10,000 Win. Could Your Business Be Next?

When Honey’s Air & Solar was named the grand prize winner of ecobee's 2025 Pro PIN for the Win Sweepstakes, the $10,000 prize came as a genuine surprise. More than a reason to celebrate, the win highlighted what the program is all about: recognizing contractors who are embracing smarter, more connected ways to grow their business.

For Ray Broman, co-owner of Honey’s Air & Solar, the prize was an opportunity to keep building. Like many successful HVAC businesses, Honey’s Air & Solar is continually investing in its future, and the $10,000 went right back into the business.

Honey’s Air & Solar’s story is one of steady, intentional growth. What began in 2009 with a single truck and a credit line has grown into a trusted residential HVAC provider serving nearly one million people across Central California. Along the way, the company has built its reputation on a simple promise: no surprises. Their "No-Stinger Promise" reflects a commitment to transparency and trust. Customers get exactly what was quoted, with no change orders or hidden costs.

That same commitment extends to the products Honey’s Air & Solar installs and the partners it chooses. When the company needed a thermostat it could rely on, ecobee was the natural choice.

For Honey’s Air & Solar, the value of ecobee goes beyond the thermostat itself.

With homeowners looking for great service, better energy efficiency, and ways to manage energy costs, ecobee Pro PIN gives contractors a simple way to extend their relationship beyond installation. By entering their unique Pro PIN during thermostat setup, contractors can register the device to their business, allowing their contact information to appear directly on the thermostat so homeowners know who to reach when future service, maintenance, or support is needed.

For contractors, these ongoing touchpoints can help strengthen trust, encourage repeat business, and build lasting customer relationships.

And sometimes, those connections come with an unexpected reward.

Honey’s Air & Solar’s $10,000 win through ecobee’s Pro PIN for the Win Sweepstakes is proof of that.

With the 2026 sweepstakes just around the corner, now is the time to start registering your ecobee Pro Pin installs. The next winning story could be yours.
