The Critical Difference of a Professional Installation

You can purchase the most expensive, highest-rated heat pump on the market, but if it’s installed incorrectly, you will never experience its full benefits. Many common HVAC issues are not due to equipment defects but are direct results of a flawed installation process.

Here’s why a professional, detail-oriented installation is non-negotiable:

Accurate System Sizing: The most common mistake in HVAC installation is incorrect sizing. A unit that’s too small will run constantly, struggling to heat or cool your home and driving up energy costs. A unit that’s too large will short-cycle—turning on and off frequently—failing to properly dehumidify the air and causing unnecessary wear on components. We perform a detailed load calculation (Manual J) to determine the precise size your Walnut home needs.
Ensuring Maximum Efficiency: Your heat pump’s SEER2 (cooling) and HSPF2 (heating) ratings are achieved only under ideal installation conditions. We ensure correct refrigerant charging, proper airflow, and sealed ductwork, allowing your system to operate at the high-efficiency levels advertised by the manufacturer.
Safety and Code Compliance: Heat pump installation involves high-voltage electrical connections and pressurized refrigerant lines. Our licensed technicians adhere strictly to all local Walnut building codes and national safety standards, protecting your home and family.
Protecting Your Warranty: Most manufacturers will void their comprehensive parts warranty if the system is not installed by a licensed and certified HVAC professional. Our professional installation ensures your valuable investment is fully protected.
Longevity of Your System: A correctly installed heat pump experiences less strain on critical components like the compressor and fan motors. This translates directly to fewer breakdowns and a significantly longer operational lifespan.

Our Comprehensive Heat Pump Installation Process

We have refined our installation process to be transparent, thorough, and focused on long-term performance. We leave nothing to chance, ensuring every step is executed with precision.

Step 1: In-Depth Home Assessment

Our process begins not with a sales pitch, but with a detailed evaluation of your home. A technician will visit your Walnut property to perform a comprehensive load calculation. We assess key factors including your home's square footage, insulation levels, window type and orientation, air leakage, ceiling height, and ductwork integrity. This data-driven approach is the only way to accurately size a system for your specific needs.

Step 2: System Selection and Custom Recommendation

Based on our assessment, we will walk you through the best heat pump options for your home and budget. We explain the benefits of different models, from single-stage to variable-speed inverter systems, and help you understand the efficiency ratings (SEER2, HSPF2) so you can make an informed decision. We recommend reliable equipment that is well-suited to the Southern California climate.

Step 3: Meticulous Site Preparation

Before any equipment is installed, we prepare the area to ensure optimal placement and function. This includes preparing a solid, level pad for the outdoor condenser unit, ensuring it has adequate clearance for airflow and service access. We also prepare the indoor location for the air handler, planning for proper drainage and accessibility.

Step 4: Expert Equipment Installation

Our certified technicians carry out the physical installation with meticulous care. This includes:

Setting the new outdoor and indoor units.
Expertly brazing the copper refrigerant lines to create a permanent, leak-proof seal.
Safely connecting all high and low-voltage electrical wiring according to code.
Installing a new, compatible smart thermostat for optimal control and efficiency.
Ensuring the condensate drain line is properly sloped and routed to prevent water backups and potential property damage.

Step 5: System Commissioning and Performance Testing

This is where true professionals set themselves apart. We don't just turn the system on; we commission it. This involves a rigorous series of tests and calibrations:

Refrigerant Charging: We charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer, verifying the levels with digital gauges for absolute precision.
Airflow Verification: We test the static pressure of your duct system to ensure air is moving freely and efficiently throughout your home.
Cycle Testing: We run the system through complete heating and cooling cycles to confirm every component is functioning correctly and delivering the right air temperature.
Safety Checks: We verify all safety controls and electrical connections are working as they should.

Step 6: Homeowner Orientation

Once we are 100% satisfied with the installation and performance, we clean our work area completely. We then provide you with a full walkthrough of your new system, showing you how to operate the thermostat, explaining routine maintenance like changing the air filter, and answering any questions you have. We aren’t finished until you are comfortable and confident with your new heat pump.

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.

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.
