Air Conditioning Repair Services That Solve Whatever’s Going On
Homes on the canyon rims feel hotter, and those Santa Ana winds can make you turn up the AC more often. When you need an air conditioner repair in Tierrasanta, San Diego, Guthrie & Sons moves fast to limit the damage and the time you’re without AC. Here’s more on what we’ll do:
Air Conditioner Not Turning On
You lower the thermostat, wait for that familiar click… and nothing happens. No fan, no hum, no air moving through the vents. This can be caused by a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor, thermostat issues, or a safety switch that shut the system down. We test power, controls, and startup components step by step to find exactly where it’s stopping and get your AC running again safely.
AC Blowing Warm Air
Air is coming out, but it’s not cold—just room temperature or worse. That usually signals low refrigerant, a failing compressor, a dirty outdoor coil, or an issue with the reversing valve on certain systems. We check refrigerant levels, inspect the condenser, and test the cooling cycle to get cold air back instead of warm drafts.
AC Unit Turning On and Off Repeatedly
Your system kicks on, runs for a few minutes, then shuts off… only to start again shortly after. This short cycling can be caused by an overheating unit, restricted airflow, a clogged filter, or an oversized system. We look at airflow, coils, sensors, and electrical components to stop the constant cycling and protect the system from further wear.
Air Conditioner Making Loud Noises
If your AC suddenly starts banging, screeching, rattling, or buzzing, something inside isn’t happy. Loose fan blades, worn bearings, failing motors, or debris inside the unit are common causes. We find where the sound is coming from and repair or replace the worn part before it turns into a bigger breakdown.
AC System Not Cooling the House Evenly
Some rooms feel fine while others stay hot and stuffy, no matter how low you set the thermostat. This often comes down to airflow problems, duct leaks, weak blower motors, or thermostat placement issues. We inspect the full system—including ductwork—to make sure cool air is reaching every part of your home the way it should.
AC Leaking Water or Refrigerant
You notice water pooling near the indoor unit or ice forming on the lines outside. A clogged condensate drain, frozen evaporator coil, or refrigerant leak could be behind it. We clear drain lines, repair leaks, recharge refrigerant if needed, and make sure the system is draining and cooling properly so you’re not dealing with more water damage or a reduced performance anymore.
Most of the time, we can repair your AC and give it years of life back. But if your system is 12+ years old, needs a major repair like a compressor, or uses parts that are hard to find, an air conditioning replacement may be recommended or required. You’ll always get expert guidance, clear explanations, and zero pressure from the Guthrie & Sons team. Schedule your Tierrasanta, San Diego, air conditioning repair today so we can see what needs to happen next.
Fewer Breakdowns. Lower Bills. A Smarter Way to Care for Your AC.
Nobody wants to deal with air conditioning repairs multiple times in the same year. If your AC keeps breaking down, it’s usually because the system hasn’t been cleaned, inspected, or tuned up regularly. Small issues—like dirty coils, clogged filters, loose wiring, or low refrigerant—force your system to work harder and wear out faster. Yearly air conditioning maintenance gives us time to clean the system, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, and catch issues early.
You can always book air conditioning maintenance when it works for you, but many families prefer our USA Membership Plan so they don’t have to think about it. We handle the reminders, schedule your seasonal tune-ups, and give you priority service if something comes up. Members also receive 15% off repairs, reduced service fees, and extended parts and labor coverage. The time savings and long-term cost benefits add up quickly, and we’d love for you to take advantage—talk with our team about signing up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
Air conditioning repair costs can vary quite a bit depending on what’s wrong. Smaller fixes—like a capacitor, contactor, or thermostat issue—are usually on the lower end, while major repairs like a compressor or evaporator coil replacement are on the higher end. After we inspect your system, we’ll explain exactly what failed, what it takes to fix it, and give you clear pricing before any work begins.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old air conditioner?
In many cases, yes. A 10-year-old air conditioner can still have good years left, especially if it’s been maintained and the repair is limited to one component. We’ll look at the overall condition of the system, the cost of the repair, and whether it makes financial sense compared to replacement, then help you make a smart decision.
Will my AC repair be covered by my warranty?
If your system is still under the manufacturer’s parts warranty—often 10 years if it was registered—some repairs may be partially or fully covered. Labor is usually separate unless you have an extended warranty. We’ll check your model and serial number, confirm warranty status, and let you know exactly what is and isn’t covered.
Do you provide emergency AC repairs?
Yes, we provide same-day emergency AC repairs whenever possible. If your air conditioner stops working during a heat wave or outside normal hours, we’ll do everything we can to get a technician out quickly. With our 24/7 live answering, you won’t be left waiting for a callback when you need help fast.

Real Reviews From Real Customers

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.

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!


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.

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.
