Is It Time to Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner?

Many homeowners face the difficult decision of whether to invest in another costly repair or commit to a full system replacement. If your AC is struggling, consider these key factors before making a choice.

Signs It’s Time for a New AC Installation:

Age: Most air conditioners have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your unit is in this range, it’s likely operating inefficiently and is prone to more frequent breakdowns.
Frequent and Costly Repairs: Are you calling for service every summer? If repair costs are piling up, that money is better invested in a new, reliable system.
High Energy Bills: An older AC has to work much harder to cool your home, leading to a noticeable spike in your electricity bills. A new high-efficiency model can significantly reduce your monthly costs.
Poor Performance: If your home has hot spots, the AC runs constantly without reaching the set temperature, or it struggles to keep up on hot Walnut days, the system is likely undersized or failing.
Uses R-22 Freon: This refrigerant is being phased out due to environmental concerns, making it extremely expensive and difficult to source for repairs. If your older system uses R-22, replacement is the most practical long-term solution.

A helpful guideline many technicians use is the "$5,000 Rule." Simply multiply the age of your AC unit by the estimated cost of the repair. If the total exceeds $5,000, replacement is generally the more financially sound option. For example, if your 10-year-old unit needs a $600 repair (10 x $600 = $6,000), investing in a new system is the smarter choice.

Choosing the Perfect AC System for Your Walnut Home

Selecting the right air conditioner is about more than just brand names. It involves a careful evaluation of your home's unique characteristics to ensure you get a system that is perfectly tailored to your needs. Our process focuses on three critical elements: sizing, type, and efficiency.

Accurate System Sizing (Manual J Load Calculation)

The single most important factor in a new AC installation is correct sizing. A system that is too small will run constantly without ever cooling your home effectively, while one that is too large will cycle on and off too quickly. This "short cycling" fails to dehumidify the air properly, creates unnecessary wear and tear on components, and wastes energy. We perform a detailed load calculation that considers your home's square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window quality, sun exposure, and local Walnut climate data to determine the precise cooling capacity your home requires.

Finding the Right Type of AC System

Central Air Conditioners: The most common choice for homes with existing ductwork. These systems are highly effective at providing consistent, whole-home cooling. Modern central AC units are quieter and more efficient than ever before.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems: An excellent solution for homes without ductwork, for new additions, or for creating zoned cooling. A ductless system consists of an outdoor compressor connected to one or more indoor air-handling units, giving you precise temperature control over individual rooms.

Understanding Energy Efficiency (SEER Rating)

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures an air conditioner's cooling output over a typical cooling season divided by the energy it consumes. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the unit is. Upgrading from an old 10 SEER unit to a modern 16 SEER unit can reduce your cooling costs by over 30%, delivering significant savings on your utility bills each month.

Our Meticulous AC Installation Process

A high-quality air conditioner will only perform as well as it is installed. Our technicians are certified professionals who adhere to the highest industry standards and local Walnut, CA building codes. We manage the entire process with precision and care to ensure your system operates at peak performance from day one.

Initial Consultation and Home Assessment: We begin by discussing your cooling needs and conducting a thorough evaluation of your home and existing ductwork (if applicable).
System Selection and Sizing: Based on our assessment, we recommend the best-sized and most appropriate AC system to match your home’s requirements and your budget.
Safe Removal of the Old Unit: If we are replacing an existing system, our team will safely disconnect and remove the old equipment, ensuring all components and refrigerants are disposed of responsibly.
Expert Installation: We meticulously install the new indoor and outdoor units, ensuring the condenser is placed on a stable, level pad. We then connect the refrigerant lines, drain lines, and electrical wiring according to manufacturer specifications and safety codes.
Ductwork Sealing and Inspection: We inspect your ductwork for leaks and seal any gaps to prevent cooled air from escaping, which is a common source of inefficiency.
Thermostat Integration: We install and program your new thermostat, whether it's a standard digital model or a smart thermostat, and show you how to use it effectively.
System Commissioning and Testing: Once the installation is complete, we charge the system with the precise amount of refrigerant, turn it on, and run a series of diagnostic tests to verify that every component is functioning correctly and delivering optimal airflow and cooling performance.
Final Walkthrough and Cleanup: We clean our work area completely and walk you through the operation of your new system, answering any questions you may have and providing tips for ongoing maintenance.

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!

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.
