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

Having trouble with the remote and to operate our mini split cassette unit. Within 5min Mario had the unit up and running as well as how the unit with remote works efficiently. Mario also went to bat for us to have the condenser mounted on the Guest House rather than in the dirt inches away from our brow ditch.Thanks Mario

Guthrie and Sons installed our heating/AC unit in 2022 and so I called them for their help with an issue I was having. The technician Jonathan came out and checked all of the units (4) and the outside control panel and all is good. We could not replicate the (small) issue and determined it to be an unknown cause. Glad Jonathan came out, all units are now working perfectly. Thank you to Guthrie and Sons!!

I had a really positive experience with Guthrie & Sons. I worked with two techs, Jonathan and Zach, and two people over the phone, Mallory and Makenzie. Jonathan and Zach were super helpful, informative and patient with all of my questions. Mallory and Makenzie were also very helpful, patient and accommodating as they enabled a fix to my heater issue in a timely manner. Would 100% recommend their services!
