Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Ductless Mini-Split

Even the most reliable mini-split systems have a finite lifespan. Continuing to repair an aging unit can become a costly and frustrating cycle. Recognizing the warning signs can help you make a proactive decision to upgrade before a complete system failure occurs.

Watch for these key indicators:

Age of the System: Most mini-splits have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this age, its efficiency is likely declining, and replacement becomes a more cost-effective option.
Frequent and Costly Repairs: Are you calling for repairs more than once a year? If a repair estimate is close to half the cost of a new system, replacement is the smarter financial choice for the long term.
Skyrocketing Energy Bills: A sudden or steady increase in your electricity costs, without a change in usage, often points to a failing system that is working harder and consuming more power to achieve the same results.
Poor Performance: If your system struggles to cool or heat certain rooms, produces weak airflow, or fails to maintain the set temperature, its core components may be wearing out.
Strange Noises or Odors: Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds can indicate serious mechanical issues. Likewise, musty or burning smells can signal problems with mold growth or electrical components.
Refrigerant Leaks: While leaks can sometimes be repaired, they are often a symptom of deteriorating coils in an older system, making replacement a more permanent solution.

The Clear Advantages of a Modern Mini-Split Upgrade

Replacing your old ductless system with a new, high-efficiency model offers substantial benefits that enhance both your comfort and your budget. Today's mini-splits are more advanced than ever, providing a superior home climate control experience.

Drastically Improved Energy Efficiency: New systems boast significantly higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings, meaning they use far less energy to cool and heat your home. This translates directly to lower monthly utility bills.
Whisper-Quiet Operation: Modern indoor and outdoor units are engineered for near-silent performance, eliminating the distracting noise associated with older HVAC systems.
Enhanced Comfort and Air Quality: Advanced inverter technology allows the system to make continuous micro-adjustments, maintaining precise temperatures without drastic fluctuations. Many new models also feature multi-stage filtration systems that capture dust, allergens, and other airborne pollutants.
Smart Home Integration: Upgrade to a system with smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to control your home's temperature from anywhere using your smartphone or smart home assistant.

Piggies Air Conditioning ensures homeowners in West Covina enjoy these advanced features with expert installation that maximizes comfort and energy savings.

Factors Influencing Your Replacement Cost in West Covina

Investing in a new mini-split system is a significant decision, and we believe in providing clear information about the cost. While every project is unique, the final price is typically influenced by several key factors:

System Type: A single-zone replacement (one indoor unit to one outdoor unit) will cost less than a multi-zone replacement (multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit).
Capacity and Efficiency: Higher capacity (BTU) systems and those with top-tier SEER/HSPF ratings represent a larger initial investment but deliver greater long-term energy savings.
Brand and Model: Different manufacturers offer systems at various price points with different features and warranties.
Installation Complexity: Factors like the length of the refrigerant lines, the need for new electrical circuits, or difficult mounting locations can impact labor costs.

We provide detailed, upfront estimates with no hidden fees, so you can make an informed decision that fits your home and budget.

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. The communication throughout the process was fantastic. They kept me informed every step of the way, which was especially reassuring as a new homeowner navigating this kind of installation for the first time.

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.
