Choosing the Right AC System for Your East Los Angeles Home

The first step in any successful installation is selecting the right type of air conditioner. Your home’s layout, size, existing ductwork, and budget all play a role in this crucial decision. Piggies Air Conditioning guides you through the options to find the perfect fit.

Central Air Conditioning: The most common choice for homes with existing ductwork, central AC systems provide powerful, uniform cooling throughout your entire house. Modern units are highly efficient, offering excellent humidity control and integrating seamlessly with smart thermostats for ultimate convenience. They are ideal for cooling larger, multi-room homes consistently.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems: If your home lacks ductwork, or if you want to create independent cooling zones, a ductless mini-split is an excellent solution. These systems consist of an outdoor condenser and one or more indoor air handlers. They are incredibly energy-efficient, operate quietly, and offer the flexibility to cool specific rooms or areas, preventing energy waste in unused spaces.
Heat Pumps: A versatile, all-in-one solution, heat pumps provide both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. They work by transferring heat rather than generating it, making them one of the most energy-efficient HVAC options on the market. For the moderate climate of East Los Angeles, a heat pump can be a highly effective and cost-saving choice for year-round comfort.

Our Meticulous AC Installation Process

A flawless installation is the key to maximizing your new system's efficiency and lifespan. Piggies Air Conditioning follows a detailed, step-by-step process to ensure every installation is performed to the highest industry standards.

In-Home Consultation and Load Calculation: We start with a thorough assessment of your home. This isn't a simple guess; we perform a professional load calculation (Manual J) to determine the exact cooling capacity your home requires. An oversized or undersized unit can lead to inefficiency, poor humidity control, and premature system failure. We consider factors like square footage, insulation, window placement, and ceiling height.
System Recommendation and Transparent Quote: Based on our assessment and your specific needs, we recommend the best system options. We explain the benefits of different models, including their SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) ratings, and provide a clear, detailed quote with no hidden fees.
Professional and Respectful Installation: Our certified technicians arrive on time and prepared to work efficiently. We take great care to protect your home, using drop cloths and shoe covers. The installation includes the safe removal of your old unit, precise placement of the new equipment, expert connection of electrical and refrigerant lines, and a thorough inspection of any existing ductwork.
System Testing and Calibration: Once installed, we don’t just turn the system on and leave. We meticulously test and calibrate the unit to ensure it operates at peak performance. This includes checking refrigerant levels, testing airflow, and verifying thermostat accuracy.
Customer Walkthrough and Education: We conclude by walking you through your new system, explaining how to operate it, how to change the filter, and providing tips for optimal performance. We answer all your questions to ensure you are completely comfortable with your new air conditioner.

When to Replace vs. Repair Your AC Unit

Deciding whether to repair an aging air conditioner or invest in a new one can be challenging. Here are a few key considerations to help you make an informed decision:

Age of the Unit: If your AC is over 10-15 years old, it is likely nearing the end of its effective lifespan. Newer models are significantly more energy-efficient, and the savings on your utility bills can help offset the cost of a new installation.
Frequency and Cost of Repairs: Are you constantly calling for repairs? If a repair estimate is substantial, it might be more economical to put that money toward a new, reliable system. A helpful guideline is the "$5,000 Rule": multiply the age of your unit by the cost of the repair. If the total exceeds $5,000, replacement is often the smarter financial choice.
Outdated Refrigerant: Older systems often use R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to environmental regulations. As R-22 becomes scarcer and more expensive, repairing a system that uses it becomes increasingly impractical. All new installations use modern, eco-friendly refrigerants.
Poor Performance: If your AC struggles to keep your home cool, runs constantly, or leaves rooms feeling humid, it’s a clear sign that it’s no longer meeting your needs.

Customer Testimonials

Ruben and team at Piggies Air Conditioning were amazing to work with. They got our AC installed and our old unit removed within 1 day and at a great price. We highly recommend Piggies Air Conditioning!

Ruben from Piggies went above and beyond when he came to provide us with a quote for doing some duct work. He was also able to identify the underlying problem as to why we have been having a major issue with our heat in our office suite. He took photos, explained the issue, what he could and could not do, and what to communicate to our property owner. He spent far longer answering questions and finding the source of an issue that wasn't even the reason why he was onsite. EXCELLENT
CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Heather S.

Jose R.

First of all I NEVER do reviews or rate any company or product. But, Piggies Air Conditioning did an amazing job at a GREAT price! I always get at least 3 estimates, and in this particular situation, I had at least 5. These guys were the most reasonable by several thousand dollars, with BETTER equipment that the others! Our ac and heat package is at least a 17 seer system, which is top of the line! I've been in the construction business my entire life, and dealt with many companies from all the trades. It really doesn't get any better than Piggies! This company and its personnel were on time, and courteous, which is hard to come by these days. Ruben, Luis were very professional, and I was in constant contact with them throughout the job. The Daikin product is one of the best in the world! I'm giving Piggies two thumbs way up!

Ruben was very responsive and quick to assess. Gave really great advice and cares about the service he provides. Looking forward to using Piggies for HVAC issues and maintenance.

Tran L.

Overall great job replacing our antiquated AC unit. The evaluation and detail is a big deal to us. Rueben explained all the techincal aspects and gave us great
recommendations and feedback. The actual installation was painless and unremarkable, his AC experts got it done, got it cleaned and most importantly got it right. Rueben even went a step further to assure we had
protection from the coming rain, that is service unheard of these days. His price was competitive and a REAL value for the service we recieved. Using anyone else for your AC needs, would be a huge mistake. We thank them again and will recommend to everyone.

Therese F.

I am a realtor in Los Angeles, and while we were getting ready to sell my clients home in Pasadena, an inspector from another company backed into my clients air conditioner. I was referred to Piggies AC by another trusted client so I called them. I talked to Ruben, he answered the phone right away, answered some of my initial questions, and was able to get me an appointment just two days later. On site Ruben was there on time, was extremely knowledgeable, And told us the best course of action to get the AC unit back in good working order. A day or two later he sent us an invoice and his prices were very reasonable. I am happy, Client is happy, thank you Ruben!

Woody M.

Leaving a 5-star review just after the initial inspection because I was blown away by Ruben's professionalism.
Echoing a lot of the other reviews here, Piggies Air Conditioning responds so quickly to requests (even though I actually accidentally sent in multiple requests on my side without responding, oops!)
They were able to come do a FREE energy audit and initial inspection on the same day and Ruben was amazing at explaining his thoughts on our house's situation and what he thought was worth the money and wasn't worth the money.
I truly felt like he was trying to help me find the best solution to our issues instead of just trying to upsell us on everything and anything.
I'm definitely recommending this business to anyone I know if they want a trustworthy and realistic service, value, and quality.
