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

We first hired Guthrie and Sons to replace a furnace after comparing proposals from several heating and air companies. They’ve since been back for annual check ups, and today Kareen came to diagnose and resolve an issue with our mini-splits. My experience each time, including today, is that they hire friendly, knowledgeable people who do good work. They’ve never tried to upsell or do anything unnecessary, which is the way it should be. I’d recommend them to anyone who asks.

My AC was not working for seven months. Three other companies tried to fix it with no success. Don’t make the same mistake I did—go straight to Guthrie & Sons! They are absolutely worth every penny.

Jonathon is a great technician. He is very willing to answer any questions and explains things very well. He is very transparent with letting us know cost, finance options, different furnace models and anything else we want to know. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for furnace repair or replacement.

Guthrie and Sons took on the challenging project of installing an HVAC system at St. George's Serbian Orthodox Church of San Diego, CA. They were the only company among the six we consulted that saw the project through to the end. The members of our congregation are not just happy, but thoroughly satisfied with the heating and air conditioning. The system, split units/floor units with condensers outside, was installed with minimal intrusion onto the church's artwork. Despite the project taking longer than expected due to permit delays, the results were well worth the wait. We highly recommend Guthrie and Sons Heating and Air.

Have been using Guthrie & Sons for several years now and purchase my new HVAC system with them. They do our yearly maintenance and have always been professional, efficient and reliable. Jonathan was the tech that came today and I want to thank him for his great work and great attitude.

Got recommended this company by my boss who had a whole mini split system installed in his house. Was able to schedule a service appt same week. On morning of service Daniel W. shows up, listens to all of my concerns, and gets right to work. Daniel was able to investigate the problem, took his time making sure he's eliminated all other possible issues before coming up with a recommendation to my original proposal. Fixes up the issue then checks to see if it is working properly. Not only that, he stays with me few more minutes and addresses all the questions I had for him regarding the system, as a whole. Absolutely amazing.I'll be calling back to schedule maintenance services with them going forward. They won me as a customer.

Zach was very knowledgeable and flexible. He did not push us to purchase a new furnace and instead came up with a plant to continue monitor the furnace and air condition. The inspection was good and he replaced a battery. Looking forward to work with him in the future
