It is Guthrie & Sons' top replacement package for San Diego homes: a 19 SEER2 ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient communicating inverter air conditioner or heat pump, a variable-speed indoor unit and coil, a smart Wi-Fi thermostat, and 12 years of parts, labor and professional maintenance included. You pay as low as $294 a month (one set price of $23,782) and $0 for covered repairs and tune-ups for 12 years.

No. The program is only for system change-outs, meaning we are replacing an existing central heating and cooling system in your home. New construction, room additions and homes without an existing central system are not eligible. For those projects we offer our Essential and Enhanced Comfort systems with their own warranties.

As low as about $294 per month over 144 months at 10.49% APR with approved credit, or one set price of $23,782 for most homes. The price includes equipment, installation, permits, standard electrical work, removal of the old system and 12 years of parts, labor and maintenance. Attic or closet equipment locations and multi-story homes may add a small amount, which the Instant Estimate shows up front.

A Guthrie & Sons technician performs professional tune-ups on your system for 12 years at no charge. Regular maintenance keeps the system efficient, catches small problems early and keeps the manufacturer warranty in good standing, and we handle the scheduling.

If a covered part fails in the first 12 years, the part and the labor to replace it are covered, so there is no repair bill. As with any warranty, damage caused by things outside the system, such as fire, flood or work by another contractor, is not covered. The full written terms are provided with your proposal.

Complete system replacements: an air conditioner with a gas furnace, a heat pump system with an air handler, or a dual-fuel system that pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace. It is not offered on AC-only or furnace-only replacements or on ductless mini-splits.

Inverter systems run at low speed most of the time instead of cycling on and off, which lowers electricity use, keeps rooms at a steadier temperature and runs much quieter. Combined with 12 years of no repair or maintenance costs, the total cost of ownership is often lower than a standard system that needs paid repairs and tune-ups along the way.

Yes. Financing is available with payments as low as about $294 per month, and you can get pre-approved online in minutes without affecting your credit score. Heat pump versions may qualify for California programs such as TECH Clean California and HEEHRA; our team will check what applies to your home.
