I had this problem on my MacBook Air purchased in 2011. I tried all the fixes, then took it to the Apple store. Turned out the battery needed to be replaced. I had that done; even over Thanksgiving weekend it was done very quickly. It is well worth the cost as my computer is now running cool, no fan noise, and the battery is not draining as it was.
