Trusted Heating Installation & Replacement
Our heating replacement process involves removing the old unit, reviewing your system options with you, and installing the new heater properly. If you’re not sure which heating system you want, we can help you choose between:
- Heat pumps: These are a popular choice in San Diego because of their ability to both heat and cool a home.
- Split systems: These systems have the AC unit outside and the heating unit inside, both connected to your thermostat.
- Mini-split systems: These are smaller versions of split systems designed for small homes or single rooms.
- Packaged units: This large unit houses an AC unit and a heater in one space.
Benefits of Installing a New Heating System
Installing a new heating system in your home can be beneficial in many ways. Here are a few perks:
- You’ll save money on energy bills: A new heating system will be more energy-efficient, meaning it will likely cost you less to run each month.
- You can get rebates for being eco-friendly: There are various rebates available for new heating equipment installations, and we can help you find the ones you’re eligible for.
- You’ll avoid constant repairs: A new heating system means you won’t have to deal with constantly repairing your old one.
- You’ll have a more comfortable home: A new heating system will heat your home more evenly.
Heating Systems We Offer
Whether you’re looking for a traditional split system, a high-efficiency heat pump system, an “all-in-one” packaged unit, or a mini-split system with individual climate control, Guthrie & Sons has a heating solution for you. View our heating systems below.
Split
Systems
A traditional heating and air system consists of one indoor unit, which is your furnace or heater, and one outdoor unit, your air conditioning condenser.
Heat Pump Systems
Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular. Considering most San Diego homes now have solar, a heat pump is the perfect solution, as it can run on electricity, not natural gas.
Package
Units
Package units are an “all-in-one” solution where the heating and cooling elements are combined into one single unit. Ideal for when you want to save interior space, as no furnace is needed.
Mini-Split Systems
Depending on your home, you may not be able to install ductwork, which is necessary for directing airflow. With mini-splits, you can install a unit in any room, allowing you to individually control the temperature.

OUR REVIEWS
FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Don’t just take our word for it. See what over 1,200+ customers have to say about working with us!
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.
Christian and his crew did a great job on the install everything was smooth from start to finish.
I would definitely recommend this company here in Murrieta.
Please congratulate them for a job well done!
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.
I only wish the annual service was cheaper 🙂
Zach M. came by and installed on new one. He was extremely professional and completed the installation promptly.
This was another great experience all around and I gladly recommend Guthrie and Son's for all your HVAC needs.
