At Guthrie & Sons, we’re proud to deliver the comprehensive heat pump maintenance services that San Diego families need to keep their systems in top working condition.

We know regular maintenance can be a hassle, so we offer families the opportunity to join our USA Membership Plan. Through this special maintenance program, members will receive two maintenance visits annually, booked around their busy schedule, along with exclusive perks like discounted repairs and priority service scheduling.

Heat Pump Maintenance FAQs

  • How often should I schedule heat pump maintenance? It’s recommended to have your heat pump professionally serviced at least once a year. However, since heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, bi-annual maintenance—once before summer and once before winter—can optimize performance.
  • Can I perform any maintenance tasks myself? Yes, homeowners can regularly check and replace air filters, keep the outdoor unit free from debris, and ensure that the area around the unit is clear to allow proper airflow. However, technical tasks should be handled by professionals.
  • How does San Diego’s climate affect heat pump maintenance? San Diego’s coastal environment can lead to salt buildup on outdoor components, potentially causing corrosion. Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial to mitigate these effects and ensure the heat pump operates efficiently.

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!
