We offer a full range of AC services, including maintenance, repair, installation, and replacement, in San Diego County.
Expert Air Conditioning Services in San Diego, CA
San Diego County is known for its pleasant climate, with moderate to high humidity levels the closer you get to the coast. While we enjoy mostly ideal weather, maintaining your AC is essential to ensure year-round comfort. Air conditioning regulates indoor temperature, humidity, air quality, and air circulation, all vital components to whole-home HVAC.
Guthrie & Sons Heating, Air & Solar provides top-rated AC repair, installation, and maintenance in San Ysidro and Oceanside. Our NATE-certified technicians deliver consistent care, including free estimates on AC replacements.
Trust the local experts in cooling and heating. If your home needs an emergency AC repair or a cooling installation, contact us to schedule an appointment.
Air Conditioning Repair
Even with proper maintenance, air conditioners may face unexpected breakdowns or worn-out components from frequent use.
Our comprehensive AC repairs address common air conditioning issues like short-cycling, noisy operation, refrigerant leaks, or clogged air filters. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a professional repair immediately:
- Higher energy bills: If your thermostat settings haven’t changed but you can’t say the same about your utility bills, you may have an inefficiency that needs inspection.
- Uneven temperatures: Hot spots or cold drafts often signal a problem with your ductwork or ventilation.
- No cool air: If your AC isn’t producing cool air, a faulty compressor or low refrigerant levels may be to blame.
- Strange sounds or smells: Grinding, squealing, or burnt, plasticky odors require immediate attention.
Air Conditioning Installation & Replacement
We offer various cooling solutions to suit various capacities and budgets. Whether you need a new air conditioner installed or an older system replaced, we’ve got you covered. Our thorough installation process includes a home assessment, assistance in selecting a new unit, removing old equipment, and completing system replacement.
We’ll help you choose the right AC from our full-service options:
- Central AC: Central air conditioning evenly distributes cooled air throughout your home via ventilation and ductwork.
- Ductless mini-splits: Ductless systems provide targeted, zoned cooling while taking up minimal space and using less energy.
- Heat pumps: This energy-efficient alternative is popular in San Diego because of its dual heating/cooling function.
Air Conditioning Maintenance
Prioritizing AC maintenance will prevent costly repairs and combat the effects of wear and tear, especially in units that are 15 years or older. We recommend homeowners schedule an AC tune-up in the late winter or early spring, right before the warmest months when you’ll rely on your AC the most.
Our AC maintenance prolongs the lifespan of your system with critical maintenance tasks like:
- Outdoor coil cleaning
- Drain line testing
- Thermostat operation check
- Refrigerant level check
- Discharge pressure inspection

I had my heating and air installed in January 17,2024 and we normally just turn it on when we have company or get together here at the house , it usually blow air but not cold enough and we thought that's normal and when the installation was completed we were promised that someone form Guthrie will call in 6 months for follow up but that did not happen , so now that it has been 7 months that we had the HVAC i decided to call Guthrie to make an appointment to have it check and Rob M came 08/09/24 and i showed him the furnace in the garage and he knew right away that the heating and air was not installed correctly , i am just hoping that this experience does not happen to anybody else and please have Guthrie management make aware of it to support and maintain your " Lifetime Workmanship guarantee to ensure your system holds the same integrity it did from the first day you owned it ."Rob M - Very professional and great customer service .Thank youAser Pineda
Mario was thorough, very professional, friendly, and he fixed our problem within an hour. I highly recommend Mario and the company.
Staff was very friendly. However, the technician was not here on time, between 12 and 4, nor was there any communication that he was going to be late until I called and asked. The technician did not come till almost 8pm.
Absolute Lifesavers!If I could give Guthrie & Sons and Zach M. more than 5 stars, I would! San Diego is melting under this heat wave, and my A/C decided to take a vacation. After calling 5-6 different HVAC companies (all of whom acted like I was asking them to perform rocket surgery), Guthrie & Sons were the only ones who came to my rescue.They squeezed me into their packed schedule and sent over Zach M., who arrived like a knight in shining armor—well, more like a knight with an HVAC toolbelt, but you get the idea! Zach was not only super knowledgeable and thorough, but also just an all-around great human being. He patiently explained what was going on, didn’t mind my 20 questions, and worked like a magician on my poor, exhausted unit. The guy probably sweats Freon with how effortlessly he fixed everything!Zach’s combination of expertise and top-tier customer service is what every company should strive for. Thanks to him and Guthrie & Sons, my house is cool again, and I can stop pretending I live in an oven. If you’re in need of HVAC magic, stop looking—Zach M. and Guthrie & Sons are the team to call!
They offered an impractical and useless solution to try and refresh the Freon ($4000) without a pressure test. Freon went up into the atmosphere within a week. Wasted $4000 and still no A/C. Gave them a chance to rectify by applying $4000 to the cost of a new unit. Their cost for a new unit AFTER applying the $4000 credit was still $5000 more than an alternate supplier or HVAC company. Bad judgement and integrity and bad pricing.
Was extremely pleased with entire experience using Guthrie and Sons. Every detail was handled with skill, courtesy, and professionalism; all at a price that meet or beat other quotes we received.Special thanks to Joe Patrick for patiently answering my questions and accurately assessing our needs and existing system ...without trying to oversell.Big thanks also to Wayne and Ben for the great job they did with installation. Their skill and experience were obvious. They were neat and clean from start to finish, not just in leaving our home & yard tidy, but in the details of the installation itself (e.g., solder joints, duct work, wiring, taping, etc.). I also appreciate how personable & articulate they were in explaining our new system, thermostat, options, etc..Finally, a shout out to the office & scheduling staff (Amy and ???). Every call and inquiry was answered quickly, politely, and efficiently.I can't imagine a better experience. We've now had our new AC/Heating system a full 3 months and it continues to work superbly and has been completely trouble free.-----------------------Update Sept 2024: Seven years after initial installation and system still running great. Have never received anything less than superb service from all Guthrie staff. Would highly recommend.
Mario has a strong work ethic along with a high empathy factor. Guthrie should be very proud of Mario as an employee. My wife has fibromyalgia and gets extremely ill due to the heat. Mario took it upon himself to gather a portable air-condition unit so my wife could cool down since she was feeling ill from the heat. I placed my faith in Gothrie&Sons and was rewarded over my highest expectations. Job well done. Thank youPaul Trzinski
Super, from my initial inquiry, called for an estimate, though I needed a new system Vlad came out the same day, he was upfront and honest, went out of his way and instantly identified and repaired the system. They are top notch, thank you!
Zach did an outstanding job with the deeper investigation great customer service and very professional… highly recommend
Our technician Rob was awesome. Very professional. No up sell. Fixed our AC quickly.
Zach came out the same day and offered us some solutions and advice. He even looked at the warranty data for our unit, which was installed by a different company, to see if we could get any of the repairs done for free. He tried to minimize cost to us while maximizing the effectiveness of solutions, and was very friendly.
Great customer experience. Not pushy. Asked a lot of good questions. Was honest and a pleasure to work with
Professional know what they’re selling - Punctual for the appointment - Personable - great smile and positive energy from Anthony and his adorable wife - Price was great! I will most certainly be using them as the reviews were spot on too!
Great team of professionalsDependable, they do a great job, and easy to work with
