Free yourself from being dependent on the utility company and install a new solar system with the experts at Guthrie & Sons Heating, Cooling & Solar. 

Powered by SunPower

Living in Southern California, San Diego has an average of 262 days of sunshine per year. Powering your home with renewable energy is a no-brainer. Guthrie & Sons is proud to partner with SunPower, offering the most innovate and reliable solar power technology. With clean, minimalistic designs and an improved technology, SunPower panels have an extra layer within in the back side of each panel, allowing some of the sun’s light to be reflected back into the solar cell, which helps to generate even more energy.

Our Solar Installation Process

STEP ONE

DETERMINING SYSTEM SIZE

We’ll first ask you to provide us with a copy of your utility bill so we can determine your expected energy usage. We will also ask if you plan on making home improvement upgrades that may affect your usage, such as a new heating and air system or a new EV charger.

The size of your solar system will be determined by your energy usage. We want to be sure to size your system a little more than what your home typically consumes.

STEP TWO

SITE SURVEY

After we determine the proper system size for your family’s needs, we will come out and conduct a site survey. During a site survey, we’ll do an inspection of the home, evaluate the layout of the electrical wiring, and determine a plan of action for the installation. 

STEP THREE

INSTALLATION PROCESS

Depending on the size of your solar system, the installation typically only takes one day. Our certified solar technicians will first start with precisely measuring your roof and installing the racks which the panels will lay on. Next, the electrical wiring will be installed and connected to your electrical panel. Finally, your solar panels will be set into place on the racks. 

STEP FOUR

FINAL PERMITS AND
APPROVAL TO OPERATE

After your solar system is installed and before you start reaping the benefits, you must receive your final permit from the county and a final approval from the utility company to operate your system. 

Rest assured, we will take care of the final permitting and approval process with the utility company on your behalf.

 

EV Charger Installation

With gas prices on the rise, San Diego homeowners are turning to electric cars. Enjoy the convenience of charging your vehicle at home with a residential EV charger. 

Book an appointment for a quote to install your EV charger. 

Battery Back Up

Pair your solar system with a battery back up from Guthrie & Sons. When you have a power outage, your battery back up system allows you to control which appliances you want to remain powered. The next time a storm rolls through, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can continue powering your appliances.

The only reason I didn’t give them five stars, was because of the scheduling issues. Zach, the HVAC tech and his helper were awesome.

I recommend the smaller companies like this one over the ones that you see spending a ton of $$$ on TV ads. I used Guthrie twice and each time they diagnosed and repaired the problem WITHOUT TRYING TO SCAM ME with an entire replacement sales pitch like another company I will not mention.

We were really happy with the service visit (and subsequent system replacement estimate) from Jonathan. He struck us as very knowledgeable, and keenly interested in helping us find solutions that would fit our budget. We had a pretty old and outdated system, and everything from a few hundred dollars (to keep things limping along) to twenty thousand (for a top-of-the-line replacement) was on the table. He helped to guide us through that (pretty unpleasant) landscape, patiently making sure we understood the purpose of every bit of equipment.I should add that he went above and beyond in order to give us an official estimate in a timely way so that we could compare with others before reaching a decision (it's really hot, and we needed to make a decision quickly!).

Great job replacing worn parts in our 5-ton Rheem combo a/c & heating unit. Condenser coils in the a/c portion had corroded from nearby ocean breezes causing the failure of the coils ability to hold refrigerant. The guys were here promptly at 8 am to install the parts and finished by 12:30 pm. To help extend the life of the condenser coils, they applied an anti-corrosion spray. When they finished, the unit immediately started and we had refreshing cool air coming back out of the vents. Thanks also to Vlad for keeping us informed on parts ordering from Rheem. It was quite a process but they eventually arrived! We appreciated the frequent updates.

Adam came early, was neat and professional, checked out my furnace and cleaned the filters for me. He also reset my control clock and showed me how to do it. It was a pleasant experience and my furnace is ready for winter.
