We Repair All Types of Heating Systems

The diverse architecture of San Marino homes means there is a wide variety of heating systems in use. Our certified technicians have the training and hands-on experience to service them all. We are your local experts for:

  •  Furnace Repair: We handle both gas and electric furnaces, addressing common issues like faulty ignitors, malfunctioning blowers, cracked heat exchangers, and thermostat communication errors.
  •  Boiler Repair: From kettling and leaking to pilot light issues and pressure problems, we have the specialized knowledge to repair residential boiler systems, ensuring they operate safely and effectively.
  •  Heat Pump Repair: As an all-in-one solution for heating and cooling, heat pumps can experience unique problems, such as being stuck in cooling mode or issues with the reversing valve. We can diagnose and fix these complex systems.
  •  Ductless Mini-Split Repair: If your ductless unit is not heating properly, making unusual noises, or displaying error codes, our technicians can quickly identify the source of the problem and perform the necessary repairs.

Common Heating Problems We Solve in San Marino

A malfunctioning heater often presents clear warning signs. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s a strong indicator that your system requires professional attention.

  •  System Won't Turn On: This is one of the most common calls we receive. The cause can range from a simple tripped circuit breaker or incorrect thermostat setting to a more serious issue like a faulty transformer or safety switch.
  •  Insufficient Heat: If your home never seems to get warm enough, the problem could be a clogged air filter restricting airflow, an undersized system, or leaky ductwork. Our team will identify the source of the inefficiency.
  •  Strange Noises: Your heating system should operate relatively quietly. Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds often point to mechanical problems, such as a worn-out motor bearing, a loose component, or an issue with the ignition system. Ignoring these noises can lead to more significant damage.
  •  Unusual Odors: A faint burning smell when you first turn on your furnace for the season can be normal, but a persistent smell of burning plastic, electrical components, or fuel indicates a serious and potentially dangerous problem that requires immediate inspection.
  •  Frequent Cycling (Short Cycling): When your heater turns on and off in short, frequent bursts, it’s not only inefficient but also puts excessive wear and tear on the components. This is often caused by a malfunctioning thermostat, a clogged filter, or an oversized system.
  •  Pilot Light is Out or Yellow: For gas furnaces, a pilot light that won't stay lit or burns yellow instead of a crisp blue is a sign of a problem with the thermocouple or inadequate combustion, which could be a safety hazard.

Our Comprehensive Heating Repair Process

We believe in a transparent and thorough approach to every repair call. When you schedule service with us, you can expect a seamless and professional experience from start to finish.

  • Thorough Diagnostic Assessment: Our technician arrives equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to perform a comprehensive inspection of your heating system. We don't just fix the symptom; we find the root cause of the failure.
  • Clear Explanation and Upfront Estimate: Once the problem has been identified, we will explain the issue to you in clear, understandable terms. We then provide a detailed, upfront estimate for the required repairs. You will have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
  • Expert Repair with Quality Parts: Upon your approval, our certified technician will proceed with the repair. We use high-quality, durable parts to ensure a lasting solution and restore your system to peak performance and safety standards.
  • System Testing and Verification: After the repair is complete, we don’t just pack up and leave. We thoroughly test your heating system to ensure it is operating correctly, safely, and efficiently. We verify that heat is being distributed evenly and that the thermostat is communicating properly.

Is It Time for a Professional Repair? A Quick Check

Before calling for service, there are a few simple things you can check that might solve the problem:

  •  Check the Thermostat: Ensure it is set to "heat" and the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. Check the batteries and replace them if necessary.
  •  Check the Air Filter: A severely clogged filter can restrict airflow and cause the system to overheat and shut down.
  •  Check the Power Switch: Most furnaces and air handlers have a power switch that looks like a light switch located on or near the unit. Ensure it is in the "on" position.
  •  Check the Circuit Breaker: Look for a tripped breaker in your home's main electrical panel and reset it if needed.

If you’ve tried these steps and your heater still isn’t working, it’s time to call in the experts. Attempting complex repairs without the proper training and tools can be dangerous and may cause further damage to your system.

Don’t let a broken heater disrupt your comfort. For professional, reliable heating repair service in the San Marino area, contact our team today to schedule your diagnostic and repair appointment.

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!

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!

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. When it came time for the installation, I was blown away by how efficient and professional the team was. They did a fantastic job with the installation itself and left the area spotless afterward. 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.

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.

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!

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.
