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.

A huge shout out to Zach Mendoza and Guthrie & Sons! I called Guthrie yesterday when our heat failed to work. They were able to arrange an appointment for this afternoon. Zach arrived on time, diagnosed the issue and quickly resolved the problem. He is very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and his company.

This review pertains to the process in receiving a quote for a HVAC system for a residential dwelling. We welcomed Anthony A. to discuss the potential renewal of our HVAC system. We were in the phase where one seeks different quotes and gain a better understanding of the various options available. Anthony was articulate, explained the options with the pro’s and con’s of each option. He was very professional and personable in getting to know our needs.We will certainly keep his proposal in consideration when we make our decision.Lastly, the appointment process was seem less and punctual.

I've had an ongoing issue with my HVAC not working properly. Two other professionals came by and said I needed expensive upgrades, without fixing the issue. Zach Mendoza from Guthrie & Sons finally fixed the issue. He was polite, knowledgeable and able to fix the issue within minutes without trying to up-sell me. I have confidence that they can do the job.

The time came for us to replace our 20+ year old AC and heater and the overwhelming search for the right company to hire began. I met with 8 companies and after meeting Vlad I just knew I had found the company to hire. Vlad was professional and honest. He never tried to upsell us and was very thorough in explaining all of our options. He simply explained the pros and cons of each system and left the decision to us. The one thing I learned after doing all of my HVAC research is not to focus on the price although G&S was the very competitive. But instead focus on the company you feel will do the best installation. The way G&S provided a detailed interactive proposal breaking down all the work that will be done really put my mind at ease. We have our install scheduled for next week so that will be the true test. I will be updating this review after the installation is done but I can say that I feel very confident they will go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right!

We decided to get central air conditioning after the last 2 summers. After getting quotes from 3 HVAC companies, we decided on G&S. They installed our heater a couple of years ago and did a great job. This time was no different. They showed up promptly, took care to cover the floors, and got right to work. There were 3 installers; Blake, Adam, and Luke ( I think I got the names right!) They each had a job to do and went about it very professionally and with great attitudes. They finished and cleaned up. It was a great experience. I recommend giving G&S a try when looking for heating or AC.
