Proactive Furnace Maintenance for Lasting Performance

The most effective way to avoid unexpected furnace breakdowns is through consistent, professional maintenance. An annual tune-up is a small investment that pays significant dividends in performance, efficiency, and system longevity. Neglecting your furnace can lead to decreased efficiency, costlier utility bills, and a higher likelihood of needing expensive emergency repairs.

Our comprehensive maintenance service is designed to keep your system running at its absolute best. During a tune-up, our technicians perform a detailed inspection and cleaning, which includes:

Inspecting and Cleaning Burners: Ensuring clean and efficient combustion for optimal heat output.
Checking the Heat Exchanger: A critical safety check to detect any cracks or corrosion that could lead to carbon monoxide leaks.
Testing Ignition Systems: Verifying that the pilot light or electronic ignition is functioning safely and reliably.
Cleaning and Adjusting the Blower Motor: Ensuring proper airflow throughout your home for even heating.
Lubricating All Moving Parts: Reducing friction to prevent wear and tear on essential components.
Calibrating the Thermostat: Making sure your system responds accurately to your temperature settings.
Inspecting and Tightening Electrical Connections: Preventing short circuits and improving system safety and reliability.
Checking and Cleaning or Replacing Air Filters: A crucial step for maintaining healthy indoor air quality and efficient airflow.
Testing All Safety Controls: Confirming that limit switches and other safety features are operational to protect your home.

Regular maintenance not only keeps your furnace running smoothly but also helps maintain its manufacturer's warranty and extends its operational lifespan by years.

Fast and Reliable Furnace Repair

Even with diligent maintenance, furnace components can wear out over time. When your heating system fails, you need a fast and dependable solution. Our technicians are equipped to diagnose and resolve any furnace issue, restoring warmth and safety to your home promptly.

Look out for these common signs that your furnace needs professional repair:

Insufficient or No Heat: The most obvious sign of a problem, which could stem from a faulty thermostat, ignition issue, or fuel supply problem.
Strange Noises: Banging, rattling, or squealing sounds often indicate loose components, a failing motor, or ignition problems that require immediate attention.
Frequent Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of a clogged filter, improper airflow, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Unusually High Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your heating costs without a change in usage often points to an inefficient system working overtime to heat your home.
Yellow Pilot Light: A pilot light should be a steady blue. A yellow or flickering flame can indicate a ventilation problem or the presence of carbon monoxide.

Our repair process begins with a thorough diagnostic inspection to accurately identify the root cause of the problem. We then explain the issue clearly, present you with upfront options for the repair, and proceed only with your approval.

Professional Furnace Installation and Replacement

Deciding whether to repair an aging furnace or invest in a new one is a significant decision for any homeowner. While a simple repair may seem more cost-effective upfront, a new, high-efficiency system can provide substantial long-term savings and improved comfort.

Making the Right Call: Repair or Replace?

Consider these key factors when weighing your options:

Age of the Furnace: If your furnace is over 15 years old, it is approaching the end of its typical lifespan. Investing in major repairs for an older unit may not be a wise financial decision.
Cost and Frequency of Repairs: A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule. If the cost of a repair is 50% or more of the cost of a new furnace, replacement is often the better choice. Frequent service calls are another strong indicator that your system is becoming unreliable.
Declining Efficiency: Older furnaces are significantly less efficient than modern models. A new, high-efficiency furnace can drastically lower your monthly energy bills, allowing the new system to pay for itself over time.
Safety Concerns: An older furnace with issues like a cracked heat exchanger poses a serious carbon monoxide risk. The safety of your family should always be the top priority.

Our furnace installation process is meticulous and focused on your home's specific needs. We start with a comprehensive assessment to determine the correctly sized unit for your space, ensuring optimal performance without wasted energy. We guide you through selecting the right type of furnace for your budget and efficiency goals and perform a flawless installation that adheres to all local codes and manufacturer specifications.

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. 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!

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. I felt confident in their expertise and reccomendations they presented for our new HVAC sytems.

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.

Charlene B.

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.
