Having issues with allergies, dust, or musty smells? A quick indoor air quality assessment from Guthrie & Sons can help identify what’s going on and provide a solution. Our indoor air quality services target your biggest air quality concerns to help you breathe easier.

Indoor Air Quality Services That Bring You Better Health and a Happier Home

Even with all the sunshine and scenery San Diego offers, we still spend most of our time indoors, and indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. From dust and dander to mold, smoke, and chemical pollutants, what you can’t see might be affecting how you feel every day. That’s why Guthrie & Sons offers expert indoor air quality services in San Diego County and nearby areas like Temecula and Murrieta. Whether you need a brand-new system installed or service for the one you already have, we make it fast, affordable, and easy.

It all starts with a simple in-home air quality assessment—our team identifies the problem and walks you through smart, pressure-free solutions. Call our office or schedule online today to get started!

What Impacts Our Indoor Air Quality?

What Impacts Our Indoor Air Quality?

Some air quality issues are easy to spot—like visible dust or pet hair. But others? They’re hidden in your walls, your vents, and even your cleaning routine. From daily habits to deeper home system issues, a lot more affects your air than you might think.

  • Dust, pet dander, and pollen
  • Mold, mildew, and moisture buildup
  • VOCs from cleaning products, paint, and furniture
  • Poor ductwork design or air circulation
  • Unmaintained or aging HVAC equipment


The good news? Once you understand what’s floating around, you can do something about it. And we’re here to help you take that first step with real answers and real solutions.

Benefits of Installing Indoor Air Quality Systems

Benefits of Installing Indoor Air Quality Systems

Maybe you use a portable air purifier or leave a few windows open to freshen things up. It helps a little—but it doesn’t reach the air cycling through your vents or sitting in rooms you’re not in. Whole-home indoor air quality systems connect directly to your HVAC system to clean the air in every space, all the time.

These products help reduce allergy and asthma triggers, cut down on dust buildup, and keep humidity levels in check to prevent mold. You’ll also notice your HVAC system running more efficiently, which means lower utility bills. Indoor air quality systems don’t just improve how your air feels—they support your health and save you money.

Indoor Air Quality Services for New Installations, Repairs, and System Upgrades

Whether you’re just starting to think about IAQ or you’ve worked with another indoor air quality service before but now need more help, Guthrie & Sons is here for you. Our indoor air quality services in San Diego County include:

Whole-home air purifiers clean the air as it circulates through your HVAC system, removing particles like dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. They help reduce allergy symptoms, keep surfaces cleaner, and improve your overall comfort.

Our air purifier installation services involve integrating the system directly into your existing HVAC setup. We install it at the return duct, where it can filter air before it reaches your living spaces.

If your air purifier isn’t running efficiently, produces odd smells, or triggers alerts, we can help. Our air purifier repair service covers diagnostics, part replacements, and restoring proper performance.

Carbon monoxide detectors protect your family by sensing dangerous gas leaks from furnaces, stoves, or water heaters. They’re small, smart, and life-saving—essential in any home.

We offer carbon monoxide detector installation services for San Diego area homes and install them in key areas like hallways, near bedrooms, and adjacent to gas appliances for maximum coverage and peace of mind.

San Diego’s coastal climate may be beautiful, but the humidity can sneak into your home and linger. Whole-home dehumidifiers help pull excess moisture from the air, making it feel cooler, cleaner, and easier to breathe.

During your dehumidifier installation, we’ll install the unit directly into your HVAC system so it can pull moisture from the air before it spreads through your space. These systems also reduce the risk of mold growth, protect your home’s structure, and keep indoor air balanced.

If your system is making noise, not removing moisture, or constantly cycling on and off, a quick dehumidifier repair should be able to solve it. We troubleshoot the issue, explain what’s going wrong, and restore your system’s performance.

Your air ducts act like the lungs of your HVAC system, moving heated or cooled air to every room in your home. But if they’re full of dust, leaking at the seams, or poorly designed, they can send dirty air where it doesn’t belong—and cost you in comfort and efficiency.

We do duct sealing to find and close up leaks, gaps, or cracks in your ductwork that let air escape and pollutants sneak in. We use proven methods to make sure your system runs more efficiently, your air stays cleaner, and your home feels more evenly heated or cooled year-round.

Media air cleaners use deep, high-efficiency filters to trap more airborne particles than standard filters. They remove dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander as air moves through your system. It’s a solid, low-maintenance choice for families with allergies or pets.

We offer media air cleaner installation services that fit seamlessly into your HVAC system. Once installed, they quietly go to work improving your air around the clock.

Your thermostat does more than set the temperature—it can influence how your entire system runs. Smart and programmable thermostats help regulate airflow and humidity, which both affect indoor air quality. With the right setup, you get more consistent comfort and better efficiency all around.

Our thermostat installation includes full setup—from mounting and wiring to syncing with your HVAC and indoor air quality systems. We install everything from basic digital units to advanced smart thermostats with Wi-Fi, remote access, and learning features that adapt to your schedule.

If your thermostat is acting up—like reading the wrong temperature or not responding—our thermostat repair service will fix it. We check wiring, sensors, and compatibility with your system to restore control. You’ll get clear answers and fast service.

Old thermostats can cause uneven temperatures, wasted energy, and limited functionality. With a thermostat replacement, we can upgrade your system with modern options like Wi-Fi and smart tech. You’ll enjoy better comfort and more control with fewer headaches.

UV air cleaners use ultraviolet light to neutralize airborne bacteria, mold spores, and viruses as they pass through your ductwork. They’re especially helpful for families with asthma, allergies, or anyone concerned about indoor germs.

In a UV air cleaner installation, we’ll place the unit directly inside your HVAC system, typically near the coil where biological growth is most likely. We handle everything from power setup to secure placement, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

UV lights keep your HVAC system cleaner by eliminating mold and bacteria from high-moisture areas like coils and drain pans. This helps reduce musty odors and keeps the air fresher. They’re a great fit for humid homes or anyone who wants to keep their system running more efficiently.

There’s no need for major modifications during a UV light installation; we install the unit cleanly and securely near the evaporator coil or drain pan without disrupting your ductwork or system layout. It’s a simple upgrade with a big impact on your home’s air quality and HVAC cleanliness.

In addition to indoor air quality installation, repair, and replacement, we offer a full range of heating and air conditioning services—from fixing an old furnace to installing a brand-new air conditioner. Our team is also trained in solar panel systems and heat pump water heaters.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a range of solutions like media air cleaners, whole-home air purifiers, and upgraded HVAC filters that trap fine particles before they circulate. These systems are great for families with pets or anyone sensitive to airborne irritants. We can also check your ductwork for leaks that let dust sneak in. Let’s take a look and find what fits your home best.

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 had an excellent experience with Guthrie & Son AC & Heater Company. Their customer service was outstanding, and they took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. Every technician who has worked on my AC/heater installation and now the ongoing service has been knowledgeable, respectful, and always on time. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC services!
I only wish the annual service was cheaper 🙂

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.

Zack, our technic-ian was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and gladly answered all of our questions. He found the problem immediately, and left the work area clean and in good order. We would highly recommend Guthrie & Zack! They are real assets to our community.

I've been using Guthrie & Sons for over 10 years and two homes. I really like that they are a family-owned and an established business. Always professional, on time, and always quality work. I've used their services from simple routine maintenance to having a new AC installed.I've never had a bad or even mediocre experience; I'm just always overall pleased with their work.

We needed a new A/C and furnace system. Vlad came by to listen and assess our needs, recommend our new Daikin, and put forth our best estimate.

Carson C. and Michael J. came by to install our unit. They were on time, extremely professional and worked diligently to complete everything. They listened to our needs throughout and made adjustments to our specifications. Carson did not leave until we were totally happy with our unit.

This was a great experience all around and I gladly recommend Guthrie and Son's for all your HVAC needs.

We recently had our A/C replaced by Guthrie & Sons, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. After getting five different bids, Guthrie & Sons stood out immediately—not just on price, but on expertise and professionalism. They even brought their engineers out to ensure the work could be done the right way, which gave us tremendous peace of mind.

From start to finish, their team was outstanding. They worked incredibly hard, treated our home with respect, and left everything spotless—truly the cleanest job site I’ve ever seen after a major project. The installation itself was seamless, and the quality of their work shows in every detail.

If you’re looking for a company that combines deep knowledge, excellent craftsmanship, and genuine care for their customers, Guthrie & Sons is it. Absolutely five stars across the board!

We had a wonderful experience with Guthrie and Sons. Anthony was our estimator and he did a very thorough job of explaining all of our options! Matthew, Bryan, and Isaiah were our installers and they were very efficient, capable, and personable. Our home did not have an existing HVAC system so they had to build the whole thing in an older house that had undergone several additions. We were up and running in just three days. They left the worksite clean at the end of each day. We highly recommend Guthrie and Sons!

Kareen did an outstanding job with our HVAC system. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, patience, and a strong commitment to getting the job done right. Even when faced with several unexpected challenges, he handled each one with skill and determination, never compromising on the quality of his work.

What really stood out was his problem-solving ability and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure everything was operating as it should. He communicated clearly throughout the process, kept us updated, and made sure we felt confident in the work being done.

It’s not often you come across someone who combines technical expertise with such a strong work ethic and positive attitude. We’re very grateful for his efforts and would highly recommend Kareen to anyone needing reliable HVAC service.

Professional from beginning to end

Vlad came out to provide an estimate and was able to size an HVAC system that worked well for my house.

They installed it quickly, without issue and helped me set up an app on my phone to control.

The system is working great to heat and cool my house and is whisper quiet.

Highly recommend going with Guthrie and Sons if you want a high quality experience for large and important purchases.

Our two old furnaces needed replacing and so we contacted Guthrie & Sons because of their good reputation. They sent Zach the next morning. He quickly verified that our two furnaces were beyond repair and Guthrie could supply and install suitable replacement funaces. He also suggested and explained alternative solutions, but we eventually decided to go ahead with furnace replacement. As soon as we notified Guthrie & Sons of our decision they arranged for Cristian and Pablo to come to our house the next day. They did a good job, explained clearly how to operate the new furnaces and thermostats, and were respectful of our house.

Daniel was quick and professional. Fixed our AC problem in an hour and the price was very transparent and beyond fair. Didn’t push the subscription maintenance service, simply said it would be a good idea due to the age of our unit. Highly recommend!

We had to replace a thermostat that had gone bad. In the old days, I could do it myself. Now, though, the programming of the thing requires technical knowledge that I don’t have. The Guthrie guy that did the job was courteous, professional, and as fast as anyone could be. This has been our experience with Guthrie & Sons for every repair, retrofitting, and equipment replacement that they’ve done for us over quite a number of years now.

Carson Snyder and co-worker (Pablo?) did a great job on the installation of the mini-split cassette. They're hard working, they clearly knew what they were doing, polite, cleaned up afterwards, true professionals. I'd gladly recommend these two gentlemen. However, the Company was not good at keeping me informed although I mentioned to the salesman up front that I was information driven. They were short on details and communicated seldom. Anthony did tell me about the government program available that reduced my cost. I wouldn't have known about it if he didn't mention it. The City did approve their work and signed off on the permit which is an indication of the job done right. I think the Company can improve their customer service

Very pleased with the service we received from Guthrie & Sons! Our AC system needed to be replaced after a huge leak. The tech that came out for diagnosis, Mario, took the time to explain the issue to us, as well as our options for repair. They came out on a Saturday to diagnose and it was fixed the following Tuesday. Matthew was the worker that completed the repair and he did an excellent job. Pricing was reasonable. Much more reasonable than the first company we had come out to take a look. We upgraded our system and our SDG&E bill has already gone down. Highly recommend!

We had Guthrie and Sons replace our 50 year old house heater with a heat pump. We are very satisfied with the installation performed by Matthew and Andriy. We were impressed with the detail of their work. They paid particular attention to the required sealing and insulating of the system. Even the HERS testing inspector was impressed with their work. We were also impressed by their professionalism and honesty. They gave us an unexpected partial refund off our signed contract.

We were incredibly impressed with the prompt and professional service! We called on a Saturday morning, and within just a few hours, a technician was at our home. With the recent heat, getting our AC back up and running was a top priority—and they delivered! Mario clearly explained our options and provided a hassle-free solution that was both quick and effective. The repair was completed shortly after we gave the go-ahead. We’ll absolutely be using them again for any future HVAC needs. Highly recommend this company for their affordability, efficiency, and friendly service—we’re already telling our family and friends! Thanks again Guthrie & Sons!
