Professional Heat Pump Repairs

When your heat pump no longer works efficiently or stops working altogether, you need a quick, long-term fix. With decades of industry experience, Guthrie & Sons can repair all brands of heat pumps.

Our NATE-certified technicians will first locate the problem with your heat pump before determining the next steps. Rest assured that we have the tools and knowledge to get this system back on track. Once we’re done, your home will be at the perfect temperature again.

Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair

The sooner you notice something isn’t right with your heat pump, the sooner you can schedule repairs and restore your home comfort.

Here are four signs that your heat pump needs repair:

  • Lack of heating or cooling: If your system isn’t properly heating or cooling your home, there may be a problem with the reversing valve. A faulty valve means less control of the refrigerant flow and, in turn, less effectiveness.
  • Higher energy costs: Did your energy bill suddenly spike even though your usage stayed the same? The culprit may be a failing heat pump that’s working harder than normal to maintain your desired temperature.
  • Odd sounds: Unusual noises like clicking, rattling, or banging typically indicate a worn-out or damaged part. Scheduling prompt repairs is critical, as delaying a fix only worsens things.
  • Frost or ice: While a small amount of ice on your heat pump may seem trivial, constant ice throughout the year is concerning and warrants a professional repair.

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heating mode?

If your heat pump is blowing cold air in heating mode, check that your thermostat is set to heat. If the setting is correct, have an expert look for damaged ductwork or dirty air filters.

Can I perform heat pump repairs myself?

While you may be tempted to handle this task yourself, it’s best to play it safe and leave it to a professional. Remember that some DIY repair attempts can cause shock or electrocution.

What should I do if my heat pump freezes up?

Ensure the defrost cycle is operating normally. If the problem continues, ask an HVAC technician to assess your heat pump and fix the defrost system.

I have been in the construction industry in San Diego for over 50 years. I owned my own contracting company for over 40 years. I have seen all levels of customer service in my years. The level of customer service from Guthrie and Son’s is among the best I’ve ever seen and received. Every time I hear anyone asking for a referral for HVAC work I immediately give them your number. When I recommend a company I in essence am putting my name and reputation on the line. I refer them with 100% confidence in the service they will receive. Thank you very much for your legendary service.

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.

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
