HVAC Replacement Program

One set price. Twelve years. $0 for repairs and maintenance.

In short: The Guthrie & Sons 12-Year Worry Free System is a complete heating and cooling replacement package for San Diego homeowners. You get a 19 SEER2 ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient communicating inverter system, a variable-speed indoor unit, a smart Wi-Fi thermostat, and 12 years of parts, labor and professional maintenance included, for as little as $294 a month with approved credit (one set price of $23,782). It is offered only when you are replacing an existing central system, not for brand-new installations.

Please note: this program is for system change-outs only

The 12-Year Worry Free System is available when we replace an existing central air conditioning and furnace, heat pump, or dual-fuel system in your home. It is not available for new installations, meaning new construction, room additions, or homes that do not already have a central heating and cooling system.

Building new or adding a system where there is none? We would still love to help. Ask about our Essential and Enhanced Comfort systems, which come with their own warranties and financing.

12-Year Worry Free System questions, answered

What is the 12-Year Worry Free System?

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.

Does the Worry Free System apply to new installations?

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.

How much does the 12-Year Worry Free System cost?

As low as about $294 per month over 144 months at 9.99% 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.

What does "12 years of maintenance included" mean?

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.

What is covered by the 12-year parts and labor warranty?

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.

Which systems can be Worry Free?

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.

Is a 19 SEER2 system worth it in San Diego?

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.

Can I finance the Worry Free System and do heat pumps qualify for rebates?

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.

How do I find out if my home qualifies?

Start with the free Instant Estimate and choose "replacing an existing system." If your ZIP code is in our San Diego County service area and you are replacing a central system, you will see the Worry Free option with your price. You can also call (619) 202-1744 or book a free in-home estimate.

I am very pleased with the service I received for replacing my furnace in my second story condo. This company really tries to please their customers, which is rare these days. Matthew and James were pleasant, knowledgeable and patient with my questions. The office was great about staying in touch regarding date and time to expect the technicians and providing the number to call for questions. I sam so happy I chose this company to do the job.

I was told by a couple other companies that I needed to replace my system. Vlad came out and made sure that my old system actually needed to be replaced and found it could be fixed for a fraction of the price. I appreciate the honesty and would definitely recommend. Edit the technician came out and made the repairs. He did a good job of explaining the situation and giving a couple options.

We had Rob from Guthrie & Sons come out to repair one of our A/C units. Rob was very friendly and professional. Rob resolved the problem quickly. As far as price goes, I paid a higher flat fee 12 years ago from one of the larger local companies. I'm very impressed with pricing and quality of work. I highly recommend Guthrie & Sons and Rob.

Guthrie & Sons has always been super professional and knowledgeable about our system. They did the install a few years ago and have continued to maintain it for us. This year we noticed that our system wasn't performing as well, so when Wayne came out, he noticed a likely leak and was back 2 days later to find and fix it. He was quick, professional, and just extremely nice! 100% recommend.

Called one of the "big guys" in town and the estimate to do what needed to be done to diagnose my problem was nearly 1/2 the cost of the system when I purchased it and had it installed 5.5 years ago, I found Guthrie & Sons and they came out the same day and did the same work for 1/4 the price I was quoted for the same exact work! Daniel was friendly, honest and quickly got my system working as expected. I even purchased the service plan so I don't have future problems. I highly recommend these guys, they were awesome, don't get ripped off call Guthrie & Sons!!!

Matt and Bryan are truly the A-Team! Their teamwork was outstanding and the workmanship was meticulous. The air handler was carefully installed, wiring neatly secured, plenum perfectly fitted, and the condenser precisely positioned and leveled for proper clearance and vibration control. The line set was pressure-tested and vacuumed as well. They also left the work area clean and neat. Please congratulate them for a job well done!

After dealing with several HVAC companies, Guthrie & Sons clearly stood out as the most ethical, honest, and reliable. From the very beginning, their approach felt transparent and genuinely focused on what was best for us—not on upselling or unnecessary replacements. We worked with Vlad T., who had previously been out to our home and saved us tens of thousands of dollars by getting our existing AC unit up and running when other companies were pushing for a full replacement. That experience alone earned our trust. Now that we’re finally ready to purchase new units, there was no question that Guthrie & Sons was the only company we would consider, and Vlad was the obvious choice. He was extremely professional, punctual, and exceptionally knowledgeable, taking the time to explain options clearly and thoroughly. His expertise and honesty made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. If you’re looking for an HVAC company you can truly trust—one that values integrity, quality workmanship, and customer service—I cannot recommend Guthrie & Sons and Vlad T. highly enough. This is how service should be done.

The layout of my condo made installing splits challenging, and before I met with Guthrie and Sons, three companies either told me that it couldn't be done. Vlad studied my apartment until he found a way to install with minimal openings in the walls and without a second condenser. Mallory, who works in the office, always followed through and advised me when I ran into a hiccup and needed detailed plans for the city. My HOA appreciated Guthrie and Sons' thoroughness and was so impressed with the design, that another resident who had been wanting splits for years, decided to install splits at the same time. The team that came in was knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. They finished a day ahead of time. I'm thrilled with the way everything looks and works.

I’ve been using Guthrie & Sons for over 15 years. They installed my whole AC system and maintained it all those years and never had an issue. Well it was time for an upgrade and they’ve recently installed my second system. The team 15 years ago and the team this time around were both amazing, professional and clean. I can’t recommend them enough Matt, Ben, Christian and Bryan get 10 stars. They are a bit pricier but worth the investment when you have peace of mind and almost two decades of great service and no issues.
