Our Detailed Furnace Maintenance Checklist

A furnace tune-up is more than a quick look-over. It's a meticulous process where our certified technicians inspect, clean, and adjust every critical component of your heating system. We leave no stone unturned to ensure your furnace is safe, efficient, and ready for the season. Our comprehensive maintenance plan includes:

Complete System Inspection: We examine the entire furnace system, including the heat exchanger, blower motor, and all electrical connections. This helps us identify signs of wear and tear or potential safety hazards before they become serious problems.
Burner and Flame Sensor Cleaning: Soot and carbon buildup on the burners and flame sensor can lead to inefficient combustion and frequent shutdowns. We meticulously clean these components to ensure a clean, efficient burn and reliable operation.
Ignition System Test: Whether you have a pilot light or an electronic ignitor, we test the system to guarantee your furnace starts up safely and correctly every time.
Thermostat Calibration: An inaccurate thermostat can cause your furnace to run excessively or fail to reach the desired temperature. We check and calibrate your thermostat for precise temperature control and energy savings.
Air Filter Replacement: A clogged air filter is a leading cause of furnace inefficiency and strain. We will inspect and replace your filter, which improves airflow, enhances indoor air quality, and reduces stress on the system.
Lubrication of Moving Parts: We lubricate all moving parts, such as the blower motor bearings, to reduce friction. This simple step prevents premature wear and tear and ensures quieter operation.
Safety Control Checks: Your furnace has several safety controls, including high-limit switches and pressure sensors, designed to shut the system down in case of a malfunction. We test each of these controls to confirm they are functioning correctly to protect your home and family.
Condensate Drain Cleaning: For high-efficiency furnaces, a clogged condensate drain can cause water backup and system shutdowns. We flush the drain line to ensure it is clear of any blockages.

The Key Benefits of Annual Furnace Maintenance

Investing in routine furnace maintenance isn't just about preventing problems; it's about gaining significant long-term advantages that save you money and provide peace of mind.

Lower Your Energy Bills: A well-tuned furnace operates more efficiently. By cleaning components, ensuring proper airflow, and calibrating the system, we help your furnace use less fuel to heat your home, leading to noticeable savings on your monthly utility bills.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Furnace: A furnace is a major home investment. Regular maintenance reduces wear and tear on critical components, helping you avoid premature system failure and get the maximum possible lifespan from your unit.
Prevent Costly Emergency Repairs: Our technicians can identify and address minor issues like frayed wires or worn-out parts before they escalate into major, expensive breakdowns that leave you without heat on a cold night.
Ensure Home Safety: A cracked heat exchanger can leak deadly carbon monoxide gas into your home. Our thorough inspections are designed to detect such hazards, giving you confidence that your furnace is operating safely.
Improve Indoor Air Quality: By replacing dirty filters and cleaning the system's interior components, we help reduce the amount of dust, allergens, and other particulates circulating through your home’s air.
Maintain Your Manufacturer’s Warranty: Many furnace manufacturers require proof of annual professional maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Our service helps you stay in compliance and protect your coverage.

Signs Your San Marino Home Needs Furnace Maintenance

While we recommend scheduling maintenance annually, typically in the fall before you need to rely on your heat, there are several warning signs that indicate your furnace needs immediate attention:

Unusual Noises: Banging, rattling, or squealing sounds often point to loose or failing components.
Increased Energy Bills: A sudden, unexplained spike in your heating costs is a strong indicator of declining efficiency.
Inconsistent Heating: If some rooms are too hot while others remain cold, it could signal an issue with airflow or system performance.
Frequent Cycling: A furnace that turns on and off too often is working harder than it should, suggesting a potential problem.
Yellow Pilot Light: The pilot light flame on a gas furnace should be a steady blue. A yellow or flickering flame could indicate a combustion issue.

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

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.

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.
