Professional Heat Pump Tune-Up Services in Altadena, CA

Your heat pump is the unsung hero of your Altadena home, providing efficient heating on cool nights and reliable cooling during warm Southern California days. Because it operates year-round, it endures significant wear and tear. An annual professional tune-up is not just a recommendation; it's the single most effective way to protect your investment, ensure consistent comfort, and prevent unexpected, costly breakdowns. Neglecting this crucial maintenance can lead to decreased efficiency, higher energy bills, and a shorter system lifespan.

Our comprehensive heat pump tune-up is designed specifically for the demands of the Altadena climate, ensuring your system runs at peak performance when you need it most.

Key Benefits of an Annual Heat Pump Tune-Up

Regular maintenance goes far beyond a simple filter change. It is a proactive service that delivers tangible returns in efficiency, reliability, and peace of mind.

Lower Your Monthly Energy Bills: A heat pump that is dirty or out of calibration has to work much harder to heat and cool your home. This wasted effort translates directly into higher electricity costs. A professional tune-up restores your system to factory specifications, improving its efficiency. A well-maintained heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating and cooling, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars annually on your utility bills.
Prevent Expensive and Inconvenient Breakdowns: The most common time for an HVAC system to fail is during periods of extreme weather—the hottest day of summer or the coldest night of winter. Our tune-up includes a thorough inspection that allows our technicians to identify and address minor issues, such as worn electrical contacts or a failing capacitor, before they escalate into a complete system shutdown that requires an emergency repair call.
Extend the Lifespan of Your System: A heat pump is a major home appliance and a significant financial investment. Just like a car, it requires regular service to continue operating reliably for years to come. Annual maintenance cleans components, lubricates moving parts, and reduces the overall strain on the system. This proactive care can significantly extend your heat pump's operational lifespan, delaying the need for a premature and costly replacement.
Ensure Consistent, Year-Round Comfort: An improperly functioning heat pump can lead to uneven temperatures, poor airflow, and inadequate heating or cooling. Our tune-up ensures that your system is calibrated correctly, refrigerant levels are optimal, and airflow is unobstructed. This results in the consistent, reliable comfort you expect in every room of your Altadena home, no matter the season.
Improve Your Home's Indoor Air Quality: During operation, your heat pump circulates all the air in your home multiple times per day. Over time, dust, allergens, and other debris can accumulate within the system. Our service includes a detailed cleaning of key components like the coils and blower assembly, which helps reduce the amount of contaminants being recirculated, leading to cleaner, healthier air for you and your family.
Maintain Your Manufacturer’s Warranty: Most heat pump manufacturers require proof of annual professional maintenance as a condition of their warranty. Skipping a tune-up could void your warranty, leaving you financially responsible for the full cost of repairs if a major component fails.

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!

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.

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.
