Guthrie & Sons Heating, Air & Solar
Guthrie & Sons is an HVAC and solar company operating since 2005 that has moved into heat pump water heaters with unusual equipment specificity: its page details the 120V plug-in Rheem ProTerra hybrid with its 10-year parts warranty, and publishes federal and state rebate guidance with 0% financing offers. Its verified corporate license is current and active — but carries C-20 HVAC and B General Building classifications, not C-36 Plumbing, which is the right first question for a water heater job.

Ask before hiring
- The verified license carries C-20 (HVAC) and B (General Building) but no C-36 (Plumbing) — ask which classification covers your water heater installation
- Confirm which state rebate program backs the "up to $6,000" claim and whether funding is currently available
- Clarify whether "24/7 live answering" means after-hours dispatch or phone answering only
