These guys are great! From initial phone call for estimate all the way to completion of installation - great customer service, no-pressure sales, friendly, considerate and professional. They all worked hard, worked well together and cleaned up upon completion. Great follow up to make sure there was complete understanding of new system. Thank you Jessie, Joe, Wayne, Taylor, Andrew, Nick and Ben! You all represent the reason for supporting a family run operation that takes pride in its work.

We would have liked more info on options available. There are rebates available for low energy units, but apparently we did not get one, though that was one of our main goals. Our unit is noisier than our old unit which we did not expect.

Extraordinarily friendly and expert service. Together, these guys can do anything. For the last several years I’ve been making a wish-list of every imaginable feature, and Guthrie and Sons built us a dream HVAC system that’s quiet, technologically advanced, efficient, and very powerful when needed. And it’s almost invisible except for the beautiful thermostats (Honeywell’s latest advanced color touchscreen) that I can control from my cell phone. (And they can manage humidity as well as temperature.) Nest thermostat is available, too. I knew that our home would be a very challenging retrofit, but Joe had some great ideas and Matt Guthrie is brilliant at assembling the various myriad components on paper, and designing efficient fluid airflow systems for difficult structures. Having an actual engineer like Matt design your duct system is a tremendous value, and he’s a great communicator. Our central air system now has 3 distinct zones that we can control independently, while filtering (via ultraviolet light and media) air throughout all 3 zones. It’s really an “air-quality” system, as Honeywell says, because the air filtration system makes a huge difference! Every level of our house is the exact same temperature, unless we deactivate a zone or two. And every corner has great air quality. For the physical installation, Andrew, Chuck, Daniel, Wayne, and Luke took ownership of all my requests, and made them all happen no matter how challenging. And it was really challenging. I wanted tons of functions and features, but I didn’t want any of it to be visible…not even any exterior conduit (Thanks Chuck!). These guys really exceeded my expectations. As Andrew says, “there are no problems—only solutions.” And what really impressed my was how upbeat, friendly (and dog-friendly) and efficient everyone was—because this was not an easy job. We really enjoyed having every one of these guys on the premises, and they regularly attend so much technical training that they are an absolute wealth of information and options. When our installation was complete, I drove in with a check so that I could personally thank them for a great job, and I was happy to meet Jesse and Amy. I also got to meet Wes Guthrie. He said he tells his sons, and the whole staff, to always “just do the right thing”. Great leadership, and they’re really doing it. Our HVAC system is amazing.

I called Gutherie & Sons upon the recommendation of commercial HVAC contractor. He sung their praises. He was right. The experience was pleasant and professional. Gutherie was very responsive. The technician performed a thorough inspection. He repaired the several problems quickly. The company followed up to determine whether I was satisfied. (Obviously, I was). I do not remember the cost, but I remember that I thought it was reasonable. I highly recommend Gutherie and Sons as knowledgeable, skilled, professional and courteous service providers. I will call them for all my heating and air conditioning needs.
Description of Work: My heating system would not operate properly. The thermostat did not regulate well, the heater failed to provide heat and water dripped from my vents.

They Guthrie brothers were very easy to work with. I explained what I wanted and they helped me fine tune exactly what I needed. Both experiences went very smoothly.
Description of Work: I first used Guthrie & Sons in 2008 to install a ductless mini split air conditioning system in my house. They did an excellent job and were so easy to work with that I called them again when I moved 5 years later. They installed a new air conditioning system and replaced an existing furnace.

Everything went so well so we hired them again to install a system into a garage office remodel we did recently. Again, excellent service, great product and always guarantee everything they do - and respond immediately if any issues arise. We continue to use their services for twice a year maintenance and I am always impressed with them.
Description of Work: Guthrie & Sons put a brand new heating and cooling system in our 100+ year old house and did an excellent job. They provided us with more than enough information to make the right decision for a very important investment in our home. They are thorough and honest. I didn't give them an A for price because they are not the cheapest game in town. That said, you always end up paying for what you get. I'll always pay more for the better product and service.

In 2014, they did not call for the spring A/C appt. Instead, they called in Sept. for the A/C service. I informed the young lady who called, that I was disappointed in their late call. She told me she had too much work to do to call. I was very surprised & disappointed w/ her answer & attitude. I let her know that we may not want to continue w/ them if this was the type to poor service loyal customers would receive. At that time, she let me know that they would refund the remaining money from the service contract & they did. My real surprise w/ this company after being a good loyal customer for 3 yrs, & spending a lot of money w/ them, was no follow-up call from the owners to find out what happened. So, be very aware of them. They did not treat us well & may do the same to you.
Description of Work: On 02 May 2011, they did our first service on our home units. They were great & we liked how we were treated & their workmanship. They made some recommendations to install a Lennox air filter & ActiveTek 2000 light cell. They did that, & modified our airflow for better efficiency, on 23 May 2011. During the installs, they informed us that our coil was rusted & needed to be replaced. We did that, & installed a new programmable t-stat, on 06 June 2011. There was a slight glitch w/ the new t-stat due to their tech’s wiring error. They were out the next day to fix it. We also decided to enroll in their customer assurance program for 2x visits per yr to service the A/C in spring & heat in fall. They also replaced our air filter once per yr & the light cell every 2-3 yrs. During the fall 2012 service, they cleaned our ducts upon our request. They did a nice job & we had no complaints. There were 2x occasions when they brought the wrong air filters. The first time they replaced it. The second time, bought the better one & threw theirs away. During 2013, they did their regular services, as scheduled. The scheduling was done when they called in the spring & fall.

Response from Guthrie & Sons Heating, Air, & Solar
Guthrie and Sons takes tremendous pride in our customer service and were more than let down when reading this review. This particular member had been a great customer of ours for over three years prior to 2014 when this happened. When looking back through his service notes, it indeed shows we called him late for his annual service that year which was 100% our companies fault. We take full responsibility this and have made the necessary changes to correct the issue long ago. This incident was back in 2014 and the way it was handled by our company representative is 100% unacceptable and her several mistakes that year unfortunately left her no longer employed with our company. We take this customers satisfaction very seriously and will be working diligently to try and earn his trust back in the future.

The Guthrie technician found several things wrong with the installation and provided us with a list of items to ask Sears to correct. This was invaluable and Sears provided a new technician who came and Guthrie-suggested corrections to resolve our issues with a $13,000 (!!!!) HVAC system that initially, would not cool below 80 degrees.
Description of Work: Sears Home Improvement Program installed a new energy-efficient HVAC system at my home in September 2015. The sub-contractor hired by Sears to install the complicated system had never installed a system as complicated as ours and had great difficulty. Although the weather was unseasonably hot (114 degrees on install day), the technician was unable to get the system to cool properly. Repeated calls to Sears did not solve our issues so we called Guthrie and Sons for an objective second opinion.

We were very happy with Guthrie and Sons. Our old furnace was in a very small closet-like space, and it was an extremely tight/tricky fit for the new one. Initially it didn't seem like it was going to work, but they got creative and came back with a solution. Plus they were just nice people, very honest and professional. That was about 6 years ago. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again the next time I need anything.

It went seamlessly. They arrived on time, they were polite and efficient, they were considerate. They explained the system, the thermostat, the remote, the emergency shut offs, the warranties. They helped us with the financing and made sure we were totally satisfied with the work and the products. It was a large purchase but one that desperately needed to be made and will improve the quality of our lives as long as we are in the home. I look forward to continuing to rely on Guthrie and Sons for all of our maintenance and heater and AC needs.
Description of Work: We had to replace our 40+ year old heater and we also wanted to install AC so we went to Guthrie and Sons based on the amount of good reviews online. We were very satisfied with the customer service and the work.

Installation was great. My only complaint was their contract language that mislead me into thinking that they would provide the painting/finishing work after the wall heater installations. The language was indeed confusing, and they agreed after the fact. To their great credit, the agreed to pay 1/2 of the cost of the finishing repairs due to the confusion. THAT is the sign of a great company. Thank you Guthrie & Sons.

They were clean, professional, and really great with communication. They obviously take pride in their work. I had another contractor doing a few odd jobs in my home a few years after the installation. He was just scoping out our place and mentioned what an amazing job the people did when they installed our AC/Heat. I couldn't agree more! I've recommended them to others anytime someone has asked about AC.
Description of Work: They replaced our heating unit and installed an air conditioning unit, along with the wiring necessary since our home wasn't really built to support AC.
