Key Benefits of a Modern Heat Pump System

Upgrading to a new heat pump is one of the most impactful investments you can make in your home's comfort and efficiency. Homeowners in San Marino who make the switch enjoy a wide range of immediate and long-term advantages.

Unmatched Energy Efficiency: Unlike traditional furnaces that burn fuel to create heat, a heat pump works by transferring heat. In winter, it pulls warmth from the outside air and moves it inside. In summer, it reverses the process, moving heat from inside your home to the outdoors. This transfer method is up to three times more efficient than conventional heating systems, leading to substantial reductions in your monthly utility bills.
Complete Year-Round Comfort: Eliminate the need for separate heating and cooling systems. A heat pump provides consistent, reliable air conditioning and heating from one streamlined unit, simplifying maintenance and ensuring your home remains comfortable no matter the season.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Modern heat pump systems are equipped with advanced filtration technology that captures dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne contaminants. They also excel at dehumidifying your home during humid summer days, creating a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment.
Quiet and Unobtrusive Operation: Today's heat pumps are engineered for whisper-quiet performance. Both the indoor and outdoor units operate at significantly lower sound levels than older air conditioners and furnaces, preserving the peace and tranquility of your home.
Eco-Friendly Climate Control: By relying on electricity to move heat rather than burning fossil fuels, heat pumps drastically reduce your home's carbon footprint. It’s a powerful way to contribute to a cleaner environment while enjoying superior comfort.

Signs It's Time to Consider a New Heat Pump

Is your current HVAC system keeping up with your needs? An aging or inefficient system can compromise your comfort and lead to unnecessarily high energy costs. Watch for these common indicators that it’s time to explore a new heat pump installation:

Your System is Over 10-15 Years Old: Older HVAC systems are less efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
Steadily Rising Energy Bills: A noticeable increase in your heating and cooling costs is a classic sign that your system is losing efficiency.
Frequent and Costly Repairs: If you find yourself scheduling repairs every season, the cost can quickly add up, making a new installation a more financially sound decision.
Uneven Temperatures: Hot and cold spots throughout your home indicate your system is struggling to distribute air effectively.
Excessive Noise or Dust: Loud operational noises or an increase in household dust can signal mechanical failures or issues with your ductwork.

Our Comprehensive Heat Pump Installation Process

We believe a flawless installation is the key to unlocking the full potential of your new heat pump. Our meticulous process ensures your system is sized, configured, and calibrated for optimal performance from day one.

In-Depth Home Assessment: Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your San Marino home. We perform a detailed load calculation, considering factors like square footage, insulation levels, window quality, and sun exposure to determine the precise size and capacity your home requires. An improperly sized unit can lead to inefficiency, higher bills, and a shorter lifespan.
Expert System Selection: We guide you through selecting the ideal heat pump for your needs and budget. We’ll explain the differences between ducted and ductless mini-split systems, help you understand efficiency ratings like SEER2 and HSPF2, and recommend high-quality equipment from trusted manufacturers.
Professional Removal and Preparation: Our certified technicians will safely decommission and remove your old HVAC equipment, ensuring all components are disposed of responsibly. We then prepare the site for the new indoor and outdoor units, making any necessary modifications for a perfect fit.
Precision Installation: This is where our expertise shines. We meticulously install the new units, making precise connections for refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and condensate drains. If you have ductwork, we ensure a seamless integration for optimal airflow.
System Commissioning and Testing: Once installed, we don’t just turn the system on. We conduct a comprehensive series of tests to commission the unit, checking refrigerant pressure, calibrating the thermostat, testing airflow, and verifying that every component is operating according to manufacturer specifications for peak efficiency and safety.
Client Education and Walkthrough: We conclude every installation with a detailed walkthrough. We’ll show you how to operate your new system and thermostat, explain best practices for energy savings, and review the required maintenance to keep it running smoothly for years to come.

Maximize Your Savings with Heat Pump Rebates and Credits

Installing a high-efficiency heat pump is now more affordable than ever for San Marino residents. Significant federal, state, and local incentives are available to help offset the initial investment.

Federal Clean Energy Tax Credit: Homeowners can receive a tax credit of up to 30% of the project cost, capped at $2,000, for qualifying heat pump installations.
TECH Clean California Program: This statewide initiative provides a direct rebate of at least $1,000 for new heat pump installations.
Home Energy Efficiency Rebates Act (HEEHRA): This income-based program offers substantial rebates, potentially covering up to 100% of the cost for low-income households (up to $8,000) and 50% for moderate-income households (up to $4,000).
Local Utility Incentives: Companies like Southern California Edison (SCE) often provide additional rebates for upgrading to energy-efficient equipment. We can help you identify any programs you may qualify for.

Our team stays current on all available incentives and can help you navigate the qualification and application process to ensure you maximize your savings.

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

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.
