Our Clairemont heating repair services cover all major furnace and heat pump brands, including trusted names like Daikin, Trane, Carrier, and Lennox. We’ve fixed systems in every type of home you’ll find here, from mid-century ranch houses near Genesee Avenue to canyon-view homes along Clairemont Drive, and even older townhomes and newer developments.

Here are some of the most common heating repairs we take care of in Clairemont:

If your furnace isn’t blowing warm air or keeps turning on and off, something inside isn’t doing its job. A lot of Clairemont homeowners notice problems the first time they turn the heat back on—dust buildup, loose wiring, or tired parts can all cause weak airflow or strange noises. Our team handles furnace repair in Clairemont for every major gas and electric model, getting your system running safely and heating your home the way it should.

Common furnace repairs include:

  • Ignitor or Flame Sensor Replacement: When these parts wear out, your furnace may not light or stay on for long.
  • Blower Motor Repair: A bad motor can mean poor airflow, uneven warmth, or loud humming and rattling.
  • Thermostat Recalibration or Replacement: If your system won’t kick on or keeps overshooting the temperature, the thermostat might be off.
  • Burner or Gas Valve Cleaning: A layer of dirt or rust can block gas flow and cut your heat output.

When your heat pump blows cool air instead of warm, runs constantly, or starts making odd noises, something’s out of sync. Since it works year-round, it’s normal for parts to wear down over time. We’re available for any heat pump repair in Clairemont, and we work on both air source and ductless mini split models.

Common heat pump repairs include:

  • Refrigerant Leak Repair: When refrigerant levels drop, your system has to work harder and struggles to put out enough heat.
  • Reversing Valve Replacement: This valve switches your system between heating and cooling—if it fails, you’ll only get one or the other.
  • Defrost Control Repair: If the outdoor unit keeps icing up, the sensors or defrost board may need to be replaced.
  • Fan Motor or Capacitor Replacement: These parts keep air moving through the system, so when they break, the unit can’t push out enough heat.
  • Thermostat or Control Board Repair: Miscommunication between components can cause short cycling, erratic heating, or no response at all.

We handle every kind of HVAC repair in Clairemont, including air conditioning repair when things heat up. Whether it’s your furnace, heat pump, or AC unit, you’ll get quality work from a company that’s easy to reach and only has your best interest in mind.

Fewer Repairs, Lower Bills, Longer System Life—Here’s How Regular Heating Maintenance Helps You

Fewer Repairs, Lower Bills, Longer System Life—Here’s How Regular Heating Maintenance Helps You

Heating repairs are part of owning a system—but they shouldn’t happen all the time. When breakdowns become frequent or expensive, it’s usually a sign that maintenance has been skipped.

Without regular care, even a newer system can lose efficiency, cause uneven heating, and wear out years earlier than it should. That’s where routine heating maintenance makes a huge difference. A yearly tune-up helps catch small issues before they become major repairs, keeps your system running efficiently, and ensures it’s ready when you need it most. Our heating maintenance services make it easy to care for your furnace, heat pump, or ductless mini split—no hassle, no stress.

For the easiest way to stay on top of things, join our USA Membership Plan. You’ll get priority scheduling plus member-only perks like discounted repairs and lower service fees. Why pay more money for repeat repairs when you can do your part to prevent so many of them? Talk to our team about signing up, and we’ll tell you how much time and money you can save!

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your system’s age and the cost of the repair. In most cases, if your heater is under 10 years old and the repair is minor, fixing it makes sense. But if the system is older and the repair costs nearly half of what a new one would, replacement is usually the smarter investment. Our team will walk you through both options so you can make an informed decision.

The heat exchanger is typically the most expensive component to repair or replace, especially on older gas furnaces. Because it’s crucial to both safety and performance, it’s often more cost-effective to replace the system entirely if the heat exchanger fails. We’ll always show you your options and help you decide what makes financial and practical sense.

Most heating repairs can be completed in just one visit, often within a couple of hours. Common issues like ignitor or sensor replacements are quick fixes, while more complex problems may take longer if parts need to be ordered. Either way, we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect.

Home insurance usually doesn’t cover heating repairs caused by wear and tear or normal use. However, if the damage is the result of a covered event—like fire, flooding, or a power surge—your policy may help. It’s always best to check with your provider, and we can document the issue for your records if needed.

Most heaters last around 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Systems that get yearly tune-ups typically run more efficiently and have fewer major repairs along the way. If yours is past that mark or struggling to keep up, it may be time to start planning for a replacement.

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.

I have a maintenance plan for my heat pump and air conditioner which Guthrie & Sons installed two years ago. I am very happy with my system as well as the maintenance plan. Wayne, one of their excellent technicians, just completed the Fall service and now the system is ready for winter use. He is knowledgeable and has been able to answer any questions I have about my system. In addition, the office at Guthrie & Sons is very responsive and follows through on any questions and concerns within 24 hours if not immediately. Great service from a great company.

We bought our HVAC system from Guthrie & Sons. They have been monitoring our system online and later noticed a heat sensor issue.

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.
