Choosing the Ideal Heating System for Your Altadena Home

Selecting the right heating system is a crucial decision. We help you weigh the benefits of each option to find the perfect match for your property, lifestyle, and budget.

High-Efficiency Furnace Installation (Gas & Electric)

Furnaces are the most common type of heating system, known for their powerful and consistent heat output.

Gas Furnaces: These systems are highly effective and offer lower operational costs, making them a popular choice for homes with existing natural gas lines. Modern gas furnaces achieve exceptional efficiency ratings, measured by Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). An AFUE rating of 95% means 95 cents of every dollar spent on fuel is converted into usable heat.
Electric Furnaces: For homes without access to natural gas, electric furnaces are a reliable alternative. While their operating costs can be higher, they have a lower upfront installation cost and a long lifespan.

Advanced Heat Pump Installation (Ducted & Ductless)

Heat pumps are an excellent, energy-efficient choice for Altadena’s moderate climate. They are all-in-one systems that provide both heating and cooling by transferring heat rather than creating it.

How They Work: In winter, a heat pump extracts heat from the outside air and moves it inside. In summer, it reverses the process, acting as a highly efficient air conditioner.
Why They Excel in California: Because our winters are mild, heat pumps operate at peak efficiency nearly all year round. They use significantly less energy than traditional furnaces, reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills. Many models also qualify for substantial government and utility rebates. Their efficiency in heating is measured by the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF).

Our Professional Heating Installation Process

A flawless installation is the key to a long-lasting and efficient heating system. Our process is designed to be thorough, safe, and stress-free.

In-Depth Consultation & Load Calculation: We don’t guess. We perform a detailed Manual J load calculation to determine the precise heating requirements of your home. This crucial step ensures your new system is perfectly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.
Expert System Recommendation: Based on the load calculation, your home’s layout, and your budget, we present you with a curated selection of suitable heating systems, explaining the pros and cons of each.
Meticulous & Safe Installation: Our certified technicians handle every aspect of the installation, from carefully removing your old unit to expertly connecting the new system, including any necessary ductwork modifications, electrical wiring, and gas line connections.
Post-Installation Testing & Optimization: Once installed, we rigorously test the system to ensure it is running at peak performance. We calibrate the thermostat, check airflow, and conduct comprehensive safety inspections before considering the job complete.

When Is It Time for a New Heating System?

It can be difficult to know when to repair versus replace. Look for these clear signs that it’s time to consider a new heating installation:

Age: If your furnace or heat pump is over 15 years old, it is likely operating inefficiently and nearing the end of its service life.
Frequent & Costly Repairs: When repair bills start to add up, investing that money into a new, reliable system is a smarter financial decision.
Spiking Energy Bills: A sudden and sustained increase in your heating costs is a primary indicator that your system has lost its efficiency.
Uneven Heating: Cold spots and inconsistent temperatures throughout your home suggest your heating system can no longer meet demand.
Unusual Noises or Odors: Banging, rattling, or strange smells can indicate serious mechanical issues or even a cracked heat exchanger, which is a significant safety risk.

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!

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.
