Professional AC Installation in Pasadena, CA
When the Pasadena heat becomes a constant presence, a reliable and efficient air conditioning system isn't just a luxury—it's essential for your comfort, health, and well-being. A new AC installation is a significant investment in your property, one that promises cooler summers, cleaner air, and lower energy bills. Choosing the right system and ensuring it's installed with precision by local experts is the key to unlocking these benefits for years to come. Our certified technicians specialize in providing seamless AC installation services tailored specifically to the needs of Pasadena homes and businesses.
The Clear Advantages of a New AC System
Upgrading your cooling system offers more than just relief from the heat. A modern, professionally installed air conditioner provides a comprehensive improvement to your living environment.
- Superior Energy Efficiency: Today's AC units are engineered to deliver powerful cooling while consuming significantly less energy. Upgrading from an older, inefficient model can lead to substantial savings on your monthly utility bills.
- Enhanced Indoor Comfort: A new system provides consistent, even cooling throughout your entire space. Advanced technology also offers superior humidity control, eliminating the sticky, uncomfortable feeling common during humid days.
- Improved Air Quality: Modern air conditioners feature advanced filtration systems that capture dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne pollutants. This creates a healthier indoor environment, which is especially beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.
- Quiet and Peaceful Operation: Forget the loud, clunky operation of outdated units. New systems are designed for whisper-quiet performance, allowing you to work, relax, and sleep without disruptive noise.
- Increased Property Value: A new, high-efficiency air conditioning system is a highly attractive feature for potential homebuyers in Pasadena, making it a smart investment that can increase the overall value of your property.
Choosing the Right Air Conditioning System for Your Space
Not all AC systems are created equal, and the best choice for your property depends on its size, layout, and existing infrastructure. We help you navigate the options to find the perfect fit.
- Central Air Conditioning: The most common solution for homes with existing ductwork. A central AC system uses a network of ducts to distribute cool air evenly and efficiently to every room, providing whole-home comfort.
- Ductless Mini-Split Systems: An excellent and highly efficient option for homes without pre-existing ductwork, for new additions, or for creating zoned cooling. These systems consist of an outdoor compressor connected to one or more indoor air-handling units, allowing you to control the temperature in individual rooms independently.
- Heat Pumps: A versatile, all-in-one solution that provides both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. Heat pumps work by transferring heat rather than generating it, making them an incredibly energy-efficient choice for year-round comfort in Pasadena's climate.
Proper sizing is the most critical factor in any installation. An undersized unit will struggle to cool your home, running constantly and driving up energy costs. An oversized unit will cool the space too quickly without properly dehumidifying the air, leading to a cold, clammy feeling. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation to ensure your new system is perfectly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.
Our Meticulous AC Installation Process
We believe in complete transparency and a hassle-free experience. Our installation process is designed to be smooth, efficient, and respectful of your home.
- Initial Consultation and Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your property, discussing your cooling needs, budget, and preferences. We perform precise measurements and a load calculation to determine the exact requirements for your space.
- System Selection and Transparent Quote: Based on our assessment, we recommend the best system options for your home. We provide a clear, detailed, and upfront quote with no hidden fees, explaining the benefits of each choice.
- Preparation and Removal: On installation day, our team takes great care to protect your home, using drop cloths and shoe covers. If you have an old system, we will safely disconnect and responsibly remove it from your property.
- Expert Installation: Our certified technicians meticulously install your new system according to manufacturer specifications and local Pasadena building codes. This includes setting the outdoor unit, installing the indoor coil, connecting refrigerant and electrical lines, and ensuring the thermostat is properly calibrated.
- System Testing and Quality Check: Once the installation is complete, we don’t just leave. We power on the system and conduct a series of rigorous tests to ensure every component is functioning at peak performance and delivering optimal airflow.
- Final Walkthrough and Education: We walk you through your new system, showing you how to operate the thermostat and explaining any new features. We answer all your questions and provide tips for maintaining your unit's efficiency.
Why Professional Installation is Non-Negotiable
While it may be tempting to cut costs, installing an air conditioner is a complex task that should only be handled by trained and licensed professionals.
- Safety: The process involves working with high-voltage electricity and chemical refrigerants, which can be hazardous without proper training and equipment.
- Warranty Protection: Most manufacturers require that their systems be installed by a licensed HVAC contractor for the warranty to be valid. A professional installation protects your investment.
- Performance and Longevity: A correctly installed system will operate more efficiently, provide better comfort, and last significantly longer. Improper installation is one of the leading causes of premature system failure.
- Code Compliance: We ensure that every installation fully complies with all local Pasadena and state building codes, avoiding potential issues and ensuring your system is safe and legal.

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!
Remi S.
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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
