Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace? Key Warning Signs

It can be difficult to know whether you need a simple repair or a full replacement. If your furnace is over 15 years old, it’s wise to start considering a new installation. Beyond age, here are several clear indicators that your heating system is nearing the end of its life:

Frequent and Costly Repairs: Are you constantly calling for service? If a repair estimate is approaching 50% of the cost of a new unit, investing in a replacement is the more financially sound decision.
Rising Energy Bills: An old furnace loses efficiency over time, working harder and consuming more energy to produce the same amount of heat. A sudden, unexplained spike in your gas or electric bill is a major red flag.
Uneven Heating: If some rooms in your home are cozy while others remain cold, your furnace may no longer be able to distribute air effectively.
Strange Noises: Banging, rattling, or loud humming sounds often indicate serious mechanical problems, such as a failing motor or a cracked heat exchanger.
Visible Signs of Damage: Rust, corrosion, or cracks on the furnace unit itself are clear signs of deterioration that can compromise both performance and safety.
Poor Indoor Air Quality: An older furnace can contribute to more dust, allergens, and dry air circulating throughout your home.

Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Pasadena Home

Selecting the perfect furnace involves more than just picking a brand. It requires understanding different fuel types, efficiency ratings, and technologies. Our experts guide you through the options to find a system that matches your home’s size, your budget, and Pasadena’s climate.

Natural Gas Furnaces: The most common choice in our area, natural gas furnaces offer powerful, efficient, and cost-effective heating. Modern units boast impressive efficiency ratings, converting more fuel into usable heat.
Electric Furnaces: While their operating costs can be higher, electric furnaces are an excellent option for homes without access to a gas line. They are known for their durability, safety, and lower upfront installation cost.
Heat Pumps: An increasingly popular choice for Pasadena’s mild climate, heat pumps are all-in-one systems that provide both heating and cooling. They are incredibly energy-efficient, as they work by transferring heat rather than creating it.

We also help you understand advanced features like two-stage and variable-speed furnaces. A two-stage furnace can operate at a lower, more efficient setting most of the time, only kicking into high gear on the coldest days. A variable-speed blower provides a continuous, gentle flow of air for superior comfort and quiet operation.

Our Meticulous Furnace Installation Process

A flawless installation is just as important as the quality of the furnace itself. A poor setup can lead to reduced efficiency, frequent breakdowns, and a shortened lifespan. We follow a precise, step-by-step process to ensure your new system performs perfectly from day one.

In-Home Consultation & Load Calculation: We start by performing a thorough assessment of your home, including its size, insulation, and layout. We conduct a professional load calculation (Manual J) to determine the exact heating capacity your home requires—no more, no less.
Personalized System Recommendation: Based on our findings and your preferences, we recommend the ideal furnace options and provide a clear, detailed proposal with no hidden fees.
Safe Removal and Disposal: Our certified technicians will safely disconnect and remove your old furnace, ensuring it is disposed of according to environmental regulations.
Expert Installation: We meticulously install your new furnace, making all necessary connections to your ductwork, fuel line, and electrical systems. We adhere strictly to local Pasadena building codes and manufacturer specifications.
System Testing and Calibration: Once installed, we rigorously test the entire system. We check safety controls, calibrate the thermostat, and ensure optimal airflow and temperature output for maximum efficiency and comfort.
Final Walkthrough: We conclude with a comprehensive walkthrough, showing you how to operate your new system and answering any questions you may have. We don’t consider the job done until you are 100% satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Installation

Q. How long does a typical furnace installation take?

A. Most standard furnace installations can be completed within a single day, typically taking between 4 to 8 hours. More complex projects involving ductwork modifications may require additional time.

Q. Is a permit required for furnace installation in Pasadena?

A. Yes, furnace replacement almost always requires a permit from the city of Pasadena. This ensures the work is done safely and up to code. As part of our service, we handle the entire permitting process for you.

Q. Why shouldn’t I install a furnace myself?

A. Furnace installation is a complex task that involves working with gas lines, high-voltage electricity, and ventilation systems. An incorrect installation is extremely dangerous, posing risks of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and fire. It will also void the manufacturer’s warranty. Always hire a licensed and insured professional.

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!

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.
