What Affects the Cost of HVAC Services?

The cost of HVAC services varies depending on several key factors, like the type of service needed, the size of your home, and the age and condition of your HVAC equipment. Whether you’re considering AC repair, heating system upgrades, or a new installation, here are the primary factors that can influence pricing:

  • Type of service: Routine maintenance is generally less expensive than emergency repairs or complex installations. Minor AC repairs might involve fixing a fan motor, while larger issues like refrigerant leaks or compressor replacements come with higher costs.
  • System size: Larger homes often require higher-capacity systems, increasing material and labor costs. Similarly, intricate ductwork or unique layouts can add to the overall price.
  • Energy-efficiency ratings: Higher-efficiency systems may have a greater upfront cost but offer long-term savings on utility bills. Additionally, some models qualify for rebates or tax credits, which can offset the initial expense.
  • Age and condition of equipment: Older systems may require more extensive repairs or harder-to-find replacement parts, increasing repair costs.
  • Rebates and tax incentives: Many energy-efficient systems are eligible for federal or state rebates, which can reduce the total cost of installation. Ask us about current programs to help maximize your savings.

Very helpful, quick and easy to schedule! We had an unexpected (but necessary) repair when doing maintenance and both the office and tech Carson were thorough and transparent in their support. Great service!

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.

This is by far the best company for your HVAC needs. They are honest very caring. Good fair pricing and got the job done efficiently and on time. I also signed up for their bi-yearly service which they performed the winter one and went very well. Thanks

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.

Guthrie & Sons responded immediately to my online request, and was able to send someone out immediately. 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!

Very knowledgeable and professional. Quoted product was high quality and fair pricing. I highly recommend We ended up not going with them only due to the fact we were also getting Solar and ended up going with one company for our project but I would definitely do business with this company in the future if we need it!
