Our Detailed Heat Pump Tune-Up Checklist

When our certified technician arrives at your Arcadia home, they perform a thorough, multi-point inspection and maintenance service. We believe in transparency and want you to understand the value and detail that goes into every tune-up. Here’s what our service includes:

Outdoor Unit Inspection and Maintenance:

Thorough Coil Cleaning: We remove dirt, leaves, and debris from the outdoor coil, which is critical for proper heat exchange and system efficiency.
Fan Motor and Blade Inspection: We inspect the fan motor and blades for wear and tear, ensuring optimal airflow and cleaning them as needed.
Electrical Component Check: All electrical connections are inspected and tightened. We check capacitors, relays, and contactors for signs of damage or failure.
Refrigerant Level Verification: We accurately measure refrigerant levels. Incorrect levels can severely impact efficiency and cause damage to the compressor.
Defrost Control Test: We test the defrost cycle to ensure your unit can operate effectively during cooler, damp conditions without icing over.

Indoor Unit Inspection and Maintenance:

Air Filter Replacement: We will clean or replace the air filter to improve airflow and protect your system’s internal components from dust and allergens.
Blower Motor and Wheel Cleaning: A clean blower assembly ensures proper airflow throughout your home, directly impacting your comfort and the system's efficiency.
Condensate Drain Inspection: We inspect and flush the condensate drain line to prevent clogs, water damage, and potential mold growth.
Indoor Coil Inspection: We examine the indoor evaporator coil for cleanliness and signs of corrosion, which is vital for efficient cooling and dehumidification.
Ductwork Visual Inspection: We conduct a visual check of accessible ductwork for obvious leaks or damage that could be wasting energy.

Complete System Performance and Safety Check:

Thermostat Calibration: We verify your thermostat is calibrated correctly and communicating properly with the heat pump.
Operating Pressure Monitoring: We check the system's operating pressures to ensure they are within the manufacturer’s specifications.
Lubrication of Moving Parts: All moving parts are lubricated as needed to reduce friction and prevent premature wear.
Full System Cycle Test: We run the heat pump through both heating and cooling cycles to confirm it is operating smoothly, quietly, and effectively.

Key Benefits of an Annual Heat Pump Tune-Up

Regularly servicing your heat pump is one of the most effective ways to protect your investment and maintain a comfortable home environment. Arcadia residents who schedule annual tune-ups experience significant advantages.

Lower Energy Bills: A clean, optimized system runs more efficiently, consuming less electricity to heat and cool your home. This translates directly into lower monthly utility costs.
Prevent Costly Breakdowns: Our technicians can identify and address minor issues like worn parts or loose connections before they escalate into major, expensive repairs.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Unit: Just like a car, a well-maintained heat pump will last longer. A tune-up reduces stress on key components like the compressor, helping you get the most out of your system.
Improve Indoor Air Quality: By cleaning coils and replacing filters, we help reduce the amount of dust, pollen, and other contaminants circulating through your home’s air.
Ensure Year-Round Reliability: Gain peace of mind knowing your heat pump is ready to handle both summer heatwaves and chilly winter nights without failing unexpectedly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Maintenance

How often should I have my heat pump tuned up?

We recommend a professional tune-up once a year. Because your heat pump works for both heating and cooling, it accumulates more runtime than a separate furnace and air conditioner. An annual service ensures it remains reliable and efficient for every season.

What is the difference between a tune-up and a repair?

A tune-up is proactive maintenance designed to prevent problems and optimize performance. A repair is a reactive service performed to fix a specific issue after the system has already broken down or is malfunctioning. Regular tune-ups significantly reduce the need for unexpected repairs.

Are there any disadvantages of a heat pump in California that a tune-up helps with?

While heat pumps are incredibly efficient, their performance can be affected by dust accumulation or improper refrigerant charge. In a climate like Arcadia's, an annual tune-up is crucial to combat these issues. Cleaning the coils and verifying the refrigerant charge ensures your system operates at peak efficiency, mitigating any potential performance drawbacks and keeping your energy bills low.

Don't wait for a system failure to give your heat pump the attention it needs. Ensure your home remains a comfortable sanctuary all year long by scheduling a professional tune-up. Our expert technicians are ready to restore your system's efficiency, prevent future problems, and provide you with the reliable performance you deserve.

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.

I highly recommend this company for anyone needing AC repair or maintenance. I'll definitely be calling them again for any future needs!

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!

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.

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.
