Why a Heat Pump is the Ideal Choice for Your Altadena Home

The days of separate, fuel-burning furnaces and power-hungry air conditioners are evolving. Heat pump technology offers a smarter, more efficient way to manage your home's climate.

All-in-One Heating and Cooling: A heat pump is a single, integrated system that handles both your heating and cooling needs. This simplifies maintenance and streamlines your home's mechanical setup.
Unmatched Energy Efficiency: Unlike traditional furnaces that burn fuel to create heat, a heat pump works by transferring existing heat. In the winter, it pulls heat from the outside air (even when it’s cool) and moves it inside. In the summer, it reverses this process. This method of heat transfer is significantly more efficient than heat generation, leading to substantial reductions in your monthly energy bills.
Eco-Friendly Comfort: By using electricity to move heat rather than burning fossil fuels, modern heat pumps dramatically reduce your home's carbon footprint. It’s a responsible choice for the environment and a smart way to align with California's clean energy goals.
Perfect for the Local Climate: Heat pump technology is most effective in climates without prolonged, deep freezes. Altadena's mild winters make it an ideal location for these systems to operate at peak efficiency, providing consistent and affordable warmth when you need it.

Our Comprehensive Heat Pump Installation Process

A successful heat pump installation is rooted in precision and expertise. A system that is improperly sized or installed will fail to deliver the promised efficiency and can lead to a shorter lifespan. We have refined our installation process to eliminate guesswork and ensure your new system performs flawlessly from day one.

In-Depth Home Assessment and Consultation: Our process begins with understanding you and your home. We conduct a thorough on-site evaluation, listening to your comfort preferences and concerns. We inspect your home's unique characteristics, including its square footage, layout, window quality, insulation levels, and existing ductwork. This critical first step ensures the system we recommend is genuinely the right fit for your Altadena property.
Precision System Sizing: One of the most common installation errors is incorrect sizing. We use industry-standard Manual J load calculations to determine the exact heating and cooling capacity your home requires. An undersized unit will run constantly without ever reaching the desired temperature, while an oversized unit will short-cycle—turning on and off frequently. Both scenarios waste energy, create uneven temperatures, and place excessive strain on components. Our precise sizing guarantees your heat pump operates in the long, steady cycles it was designed for.
Seamless Removal and Preparation: If you are replacing an old furnace, air conditioner, or a complete HVAC system, our team manages the entire process. We carefully and safely decommission and remove the old equipment, ensuring all components are disposed of responsibly. We treat your home with the utmost respect, using protective coverings to keep your property clean and tidy throughout the removal and installation phases.
Professional Installation and Commissioning: Our certified technicians execute the installation with meticulous attention to detail. This includes the precise placement of both the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser unit to optimize performance and airflow. We expertly handle all electrical wiring, connect the refrigerant lines with precision to prevent leaks, and integrate your new smart thermostat.

Once the physical installation is complete, we perform a crucial final step: commissioning. We power the system and run it through a series of rigorous tests to verify that every metric—from refrigerant charge and airflow volume to voltage and temperature differentials—is perfectly aligned with the manufacturer’s specifications. This guarantees your system is running at peak efficiency and reliability from the moment you take control.

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!

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!

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!

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 pricing was transparent, and I didn't feel like there were any hidden costs, which is always a plus when it comes to service calls like these. Highly recommend this company!

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.
