Why Professional AC Installation is Crucial for Your Whittier Home

The difference between a flawlessly operating air conditioner and one that constantly struggles lies in the details of the installation process. Simply selecting a high-efficiency model is not enough. To truly benefit from modern cooling technology, every step must be executed with precision.

Scientific System Sizing: The most common mistake in AC replacement is improper sizing. A unit that is too large will cycle on and off frequently (a process called short-cycling), failing to properly dehumidify your home and causing unnecessary wear and tear. A unit that is too small will run constantly, struggling to reach the desired temperature and driving up your energy costs. We eliminate this guesswork by performing a comprehensive Manual J load calculation. This industry-standard assessment considers every variable of your Whittier home, including its square footage, insulation levels, window type and placement, ceiling height, local climate data, and even the amount of sun exposure it receives. This ensures we recommend a system with the exact British Thermal Unit (BTU) capacity your home requires for maximum efficiency and comfort.
Maximizing Energy Efficiency (SEER Rating): Every new air conditioner comes with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating. However, this rating is only achieved when the system is installed correctly. Factors like improper refrigerant charge, leaky ductwork, or incorrect airflow can drastically reduce a system’s efficiency, meaning you pay for a high-SEER unit but get low-SEER performance. Our technicians are trained to install every component according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring you receive the full energy-saving benefits you invested in.
Ensuring System Longevity and Reliability: A professional installation directly translates to a longer, healthier life for your AC system. We ensure the outdoor condenser is placed on a stable, level pad, that refrigerant lines are properly connected and sealed to prevent leaks, and that electrical connections are safe and secure. These meticulous steps prevent the premature component failure and costly repairs that often plague improperly installed units.
Upholding Your Manufacturer's Warranty: Most manufacturers require that their equipment be installed by a licensed and qualified professional for the warranty to be valid. Attempting a DIY installation or hiring an unqualified handyman can void your warranty, leaving you financially responsible for any future component failures. Our professional installation protects your investment and gives you complete peace of mind.

Our Meticulous AC Installation Process

We believe in transparency and keeping you informed every step of the way. Our comprehensive installation process is designed for precision, ensuring your new system is set up for success from the very beginning.

Step 1: In-Depth Home Assessment and Consultation

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your home and a discussion about your specific cooling needs. We’ll inspect your existing system (if any), evaluate your ductwork, and perform the critical load calculation to determine the perfect size and type of unit for your space.

Step 2: System Selection and Clear Recommendations

Based on our assessment, we will present you with a curated selection of high-quality, reliable air conditioning systems that fit your home’s requirements and your budget. We’ll explain the differences between models, including central air systems, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits, helping you make an informed decision without any sales pressure.

Step 3: Safe Removal and Responsible Disposal

If we are replacing an old unit, our team will safely decommission it. This includes the careful and environmentally responsible recovery and disposal of old refrigerant, followed by the complete removal of the old indoor and outdoor equipment.

Step 4: Precision Placement and Installation

This is where our expertise shines. We will expertly install your new indoor air handler and outdoor condenser unit. We ensure the outdoor unit has proper clearance for airflow and the indoor unit is perfectly integrated with your existing duct system. Every connection, from the refrigerant lines to the condensate drain, is made with meticulous care.

Step 5: System Commissioning and Performance Testing

Once the physical installation is complete, we begin the critical commissioning phase. We charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer, measure airflow, and test electrical connections. We then run the system through a complete series of diagnostic tests to verify that every component is operating at peak performance and efficiency.

Step 6: Thermostat Integration and Homeowner Walkthrough

We will install and program your new thermostat, ensuring it communicates perfectly with your AC system. Before we leave, we conduct a final walkthrough with you. We will demonstrate how to operate your new system, explain best practices for efficiency, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you are 100% comfortable and satisfied.

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!

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.

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.
