Key Signs It’s Time for a Heat Pump Replacement

It can be difficult to know whether a simple repair will suffice or if it's time to invest in a new system. If you notice any of the following signs, a replacement is likely the most cost-effective and reliable solution for your Altadena home:

Your System is Over 10-15 Years Old: Even well-maintained heat pumps lose efficiency with age. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed the 15-year mark, it’s operating on outdated technology and is more prone to failure.
Frequent and Costly Repairs: Are you constantly calling for service? If repair bills are adding up and becoming a regular expense, that money is better invested in a new, reliable system covered by a warranty.
Unexpectedly High Energy Bills: A sudden or steady increase in your electricity bills is a clear indicator that your heat pump is working harder than it should to heat and cool your home. Its declining efficiency is directly impacting your wallet.
Inconsistent Temperatures and Comfort: If you’re dealing with hot and cold spots throughout your house or the system struggles to maintain the set temperature, it’s no longer performing its primary function effectively.
Loud or Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or squealing sounds often indicate serious mechanical problems with components like the motor or fan, which can be expensive to fix on an older unit.

The Advantages of Upgrading to a Modern Heat Pump

Replacing an aging heat pump isn't just about restoring your home’s heating and cooling—it’s about enhancing it. Today’s advanced systems offer a wealth of benefits perfectly suited for homeowners in Altadena.

Drastically Reduced Energy Consumption: New heat pumps are engineered with cutting-edge technology, reflected in their high SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings. This translates directly to lower monthly energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Whisper-Quiet Operation: Modern units are designed to run significantly quieter than their older counterparts, eliminating the loud, disruptive noises that often accompany an aging system kicking on and off.
Superior Comfort and Air Quality: Features like variable-speed compressors allow the system to make continuous, subtle adjustments to maintain a consistent temperature, eliminating uncomfortable fluctuations. Advanced filtration options can also improve your home's indoor air quality.
Enhanced Reliability and Peace of Mind: A new heat pump comes with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected from unexpected and costly breakdowns.

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!

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. I felt confident in their expertise and reccomendations they presented for our new HVAC sytems. When it came time for the installation, I was blown away by how efficient and professional the team was. They did a fantastic job with the installation itself and left the area spotless afterward. It was clear they respected our home as if it were their own, which is surprisingly rare in certain service fields, and greatly appreciated. Overall, my experience with Piggies Air Conditioning was excellent, and I would gladly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC services.

Professionalism & Quality work at its utmost best!
1st & foremost, huge shout out to Ruben thank u so so much for reaching out & making things happen SO FAST! I was so surprised since i had reached out to a couple different places who lagged on even answering calls, messages, etc.
Ruben was also very informative & taught me ALOT that i didnt know about.
Also cant leave the amazing Luis & Miles out of
this review.
They came, they saw, they conquered!
And they worked pretty swiftly too, felt very comfy around em, loved their personalities, great attitude, work ethic, professionalism, had some really good convos & they still got the job done lightning fast

Charlene B.

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.
