Heat Pump Repair in Alhambra
A malfunctioning heat pump can disrupt your entire home. Don't wait for a small issue to become a major, expensive problem. Contact us immediately if you notice any of these common warning signs:
- Strange Noises: Grinding, squealing, or clanking sounds often indicate mechanical problems that require immediate attention.
- Inconsistent Temperatures: If the system blows lukewarm air or struggles to reach the thermostat setting, there could be an issue with the compressor or refrigerant levels.
- Short Cycling: The unit turning on and off more frequently than usual points to potential overheating or an electrical fault.
- Ice Buildup: Frost or ice on the outdoor coils, especially during cooler weather, can signal a problem with the defrost cycle or airflow.
- Sudden Spike in Energy Bills: A sudden increase in your electricity costs without a change in usage often means your heat pump is working inefficiently to compensate for a problem.
Our repair process begins with advanced diagnostics to accurately pinpoint the root cause. We then provide a clear explanation of the issue and a transparent plan for the repair, ensuring you understand the work before we begin.
Preventative Heat Pump Maintenance & Tune-Ups
The most effective way to prevent unexpected breakdowns and maximize efficiency is with routine professional maintenance. For the year-round demands placed on systems in Alhambra, we recommend a biannual service schedule—once in the spring to prepare for cooling season and once in the fall to prepare for heating.
The benefits of regular maintenance are significant:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: A clean, well-lubricated system uses less energy, directly lowering your monthly utility bills.
- Extended System Lifespan: Proactive care reduces wear and tear on critical components, helping you get the most out of your investment.
- Reduced Risk of Breakdowns: Our technicians can identify and address minor issues before they escalate into costly emergency repairs.
- Consistent and Reliable Comfort: A properly maintained heat pump delivers dependable heating and cooling, eliminating frustrating temperature fluctuations.
- Better Indoor Air Quality: Cleaning components and replacing filters helps reduce the circulation of dust, allergens, and other airborne particles in your home.
Our comprehensive tune-up includes inspecting electrical connections, cleaning indoor and outdoor coils, checking refrigerant levels, lubricating motors, calibrating the thermostat, and testing the full operational cycle. With Piggies Air Conditioning, you also have access to convenient financing options to keep maintenance affordable and stress-free.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
When it's time to upgrade, a modern, high-efficiency heat pump can transform your home's comfort and energy consumption. If your current system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent and expensive repairs, or can no longer keep your home comfortable, a replacement is often the most cost-effective solution.
We guide you through the entire process, from selecting the right-sized unit for your home’s specific needs to performing a flawless installation. Proper sizing and installation are critical for heat pump performance, especially in a climate like Alhambra's. Our meticulous approach ensures your new system is installed according to manufacturer specifications and local codes, guaranteeing optimal efficiency and long-term reliability.

Addressing Your Heat Pump Questions
How often does my heat pump need to be serviced? We recommend servicing your heat pump twice a year—once before summer and once before winter. This ensures both the cooling and heating functions are prepared for the season ahead, preventing mid-season failures and ensuring peak efficiency.
Are heat pumps effective in the Alhambra climate? Absolutely. Modern heat pumps are exceptionally well-suited for Alhambra's climate. They are incredibly efficient at cooling during our hot summers. And because our winters are mild, they can provide powerful and cost-effective heating without the high energy consumption of older electric furnaces. The key to their effectiveness is proper installation and regular maintenance by qualified professionals who understand how to optimize them for local conditions.
What can I check before calling for a service? If your system isn't working correctly, there are a few simple things you can check first:
- Thermostat Settings: Ensure it’s set to the correct mode (heat or cool) and temperature.
- Air Filter: A clogged air filter can severely restrict airflow. Check and replace it if it's dirty.
- Circuit Breaker: Locate your electrical panel and see if the breaker for the HVAC system has tripped.
- Outdoor Unit: Make sure the unit is clear of any leaves, branches, or debris that could obstruct airflow.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it’s time to call a professional for a safe and accurate diagnosis.

Ruben, was incredibly responsive, addressing all my inquiries promptly and with clear, thorough explanations. Their dedication to understanding and meeting my needs was remarkable.
Ruben, went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled seamlessly, demonstrating not just professionalism, but also a sincere dedication to customer satisfaction.
I can't recommend Piggies air Conditioning/Ruben highly enough. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with exceptional service, look no further. They are a true example of what outstanding professionalism should be.
The technician arrived on time, which I really appreciated given how crucial air conditioning is in this heat. Ruben was professional and friendly, explaining what he was doing throughout the process. The issue I had was diagnosed fairly quickly, and they provided me with a few options on how to fix it. 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!
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
SUPER HUGE SHOUT OUT & THANKS for everything guys! Definitely recommending u guys to everyone i know.
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.
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.
