Why a Heat Pump is the Perfect Choice for Your South Pasadena Home

Heat pumps are not just another HVAC system; they are a significant technological advancement perfectly suited for the mild winters and warm summers we experience in South Pasadena. Instead of burning fuel to create heat, they cleverly transfer it, making them incredibly efficient.

Unmatched Energy Efficiency: Because a heat pump moves heat rather than generating it, it can achieve efficiency ratings of 300% or more. This means for every unit of electricity it consumes, it can move three or more units of heat. For you, this translates directly into significant savings on your monthly utility bills.
All-in-One Heating and Cooling: Say goodbye to managing two separate systems. In the summer, a heat pump functions as a high-efficiency air conditioner, pulling heat from inside your home and moving it outside. In the winter, it reverses the process, extracting ambient heat from the outdoor air and transferring it inside to warm your home.
Eco-Friendly Comfort: By using electricity to transfer heat, heat pumps eliminate the need for fossil fuels like natural gas for heating. This dramatically reduces your home's carbon emissions, contributing to a healthier environment in South Pasadena.
Improved Indoor Air Quality and Quiet Operation: Modern heat pumps are equipped with superior filtration systems that capture dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants. They also operate at whisper-quiet levels, eliminating the loud cycling noises associated with older furnaces and air conditioners.

Heat Pump Systems Tailored to Your Home's Unique Needs

Every home in South Pasadena is different, from historic Craftsman bungalows to modern constructions. We provide customized heat pump solutions designed to deliver optimal comfort and efficiency for your specific layout and needs.

Central Ducted Heat Pumps: If your home already has ductwork, a central heat pump system is a seamless upgrade. It integrates with your existing ducts to deliver conditioned air evenly and efficiently throughout your entire house.
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps: For homes without existing ductwork, older properties, or room additions, ductless mini-splits are a perfect solution. These systems consist of a single outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers, allowing you to create customized comfort zones and avoid the cost and complexity of installing new ducts.

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.

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!

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.
