The Clear Advantages of a New Air Conditioning System

Investing in a new, professionally installed air conditioner is an investment in your home and quality of life. Modern systems offer significant upgrades over units from even a decade ago, providing tangible benefits you'll notice immediately.

Drastic Energy Savings: Today’s air conditioners are remarkably efficient. By upgrading to a new system with a high SEER2 rating, you can significantly lower your monthly electricity bills.
Superior, Consistent Comfort: A properly sized and installed AC unit eliminates hot and cold spots throughout your home, delivering reliable cooling even on the hottest summer days.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Advanced filtration captures dust, pollen, and pet dander, creating a healthier indoor environment.
Quiet and Peaceful Operation: Modern air conditioners operate at whisper-quiet levels, reducing disruptions in your daily life.
Enhanced Home Value: A new, high-efficiency HVAC system increases the value and appeal of your property.

AC Repair vs. Replacement: A Guide for Orange County Homeowners

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is, "Should I repair my old AC or replace it?" Piggies Air Conditioning helps customers make informed decisions with these key considerations:

Age of the System: Units older than 10–12 years are less efficient and prone to costly breakdowns.
Frequency of Repairs: Repeated repair calls often indicate it’s time for a replacement.
Cost of the Repair: Apply the "$5,000 Rule" (repair cost × system age). If over $5,000, replacement is usually the better option.
Type of Refrigerant: If your AC uses R-22 refrigerant, replacement is the only practical choice due to rising costs and scarcity.

Understanding the Factors that Influence Installation Cost

The investment for a new AC installation depends on several variables. We provide full transparency in every quote.

System Size (Tonnage): Must match the cooling needs of your home.
Efficiency Rating (SEER2): Higher ratings lower bills but increase upfront cost.
Ductwork Condition: Repairs or replacements may be necessary for proper airflow.
Installation Complexity: Location, electrical needs, and modifications affect final pricing.

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.

Piggies AC is hands down my favorite HVAC contractor. Ruben truly cares about true home comfort. If I could leave 10 stars I would. Thanks Piggies

I recently had my air conditioning unit serviced by Ruben, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. He arrived on time, was incredibly knowledgeable, and explained the issue in a way that was easy to understand. He worked efficiently, resolved the problem quickly, and made sure everything was functioning perfectly before leaving.
I highly recommend this company for anyone needing AC repair or maintenance. I'll definitely be calling them again for any future needs!

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!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Piggies Air Conditioning, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment I contacted Ruben, their team displayed an impressive level of knowledge and experience in the field. They answered all of my MANY questions with ease and friendliness and provided insights that really helped me understand my options and the scope of work as a whole.

Professionalism & Quality work at its utmost best!
1st & foremost, huge shout out to Ruben thank u so so much for reaching out & making things happen SO FAST! I was so surprised since i had reached out to a couple different places who lagged on even answering calls, messages, etc.

Charlene B.

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.
