Professional Heating Service in Pasadena, CA

As the cooler seasons approach in Pasadena, the last thing any homeowner wants is to be caught off guard by a malfunctioning heating system. While our Southern California winters are milder than in other parts of the country, a reliable source of warmth is essential for comfort and well-being. Proactive heating service is not just about fixing problems—it’s about preventing them. Our comprehensive maintenance for furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps is designed to ensure your system operates safely, efficiently, and dependably when you need it most.

Investing in routine maintenance is the single most effective way to protect your heating system, your home, and your budget. It transforms your heater from a potential liability into a reliable asset, ready to provide consistent comfort throughout the colder months.

The Essential Benefits of Annual Heating Maintenance

A professional tune-up is more than a simple inspection; it's a deep-dive into the health and performance of your HVAC system. By having your equipment serviced annually by our expert technicians, you unlock a range of critical benefits that save you money and provide invaluable peace of mind.

  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency: A clean, well-calibrated heating system uses less energy to produce the same amount of heat. During a tune-up, we clean or replace filters, clean burner components, and lubricate moving parts. This reduces friction and strain on the system, allowing it to operate at peak efficiency and lowering your monthly utility bills.
  • Improved Home Safety: For homeowners with gas furnaces, safety is paramount. A critical part of our service is inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks or damage, which could otherwise lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. We also check gas connections, test safety controls, and ensure proper ventilation, protecting your family from potential hazards.
  • Prevention of Costly Breakdowns: Most major heating system failures don't happen overnight. They are often the result of small, unaddressed issues that worsen over time. Our technicians can identify worn-out parts, loose electrical connections, or other potential problems during a maintenance visit, allowing for a minor repair before it escalates into a catastrophic and expensive emergency breakdown.
  • Extended System Lifespan: A heating system is a significant investment. Just like a car, it requires regular maintenance to perform well for years to come. Annual service reduces accumulated wear and tear, helping you get the maximum possible lifespan out of your furnace, boiler, or heat pump and delaying the high cost of a full system replacement.
  • Consistent and Reliable Comfort: A well-maintained heater distributes warmth more evenly and effectively throughout your home. Our calibration and testing ensure your thermostat is accurate and your system responds correctly, eliminating cold spots and guaranteeing you have dependable heat whenever a cold front moves through Pasadena.

Our Comprehensive Heating Tune-Up Process

We believe in transparency and empowering our clients with knowledge. When you schedule a heating service with us, our certified technicians perform a meticulous, multi-point tune-up tailored to your specific system type.

For Gas & Electric Furnaces:

  •  Inspect the Heat Exchanger: A thorough visual inspection for any signs of cracks, rust, or stress that could compromise safety.
  •  Clean and Adjust Burner Assembly: Ensure a clean, efficient burn for optimal heat production and fuel consumption.
  •  Check and Test Safety Controls: Verify that all safety mechanisms, including the high-limit switch, are functioning correctly to prevent overheating.
  •  Clean or Replace Air Filter: A fresh filter is key to good airflow and indoor air quality.
  •  Lubricate All Moving Parts: Reduce friction and wear on motors and blowers to ensure quiet operation and longevity.
  •  Test Thermostat Calibration: Confirm your thermostat is accurately reading the room temperature and signaling the furnace correctly.
  •  Inspect and Tighten Electrical Connections: Secure all wiring to prevent shorts and improve system reliability.

For Boilers and Hydronic Systems:

  •  Check System Pressure and Water Level: Ensure the boiler is operating within its specified pressure range for safe, effective performance.
  •  Inspect Burner and Pilot Assembly: Clean and adjust for proper ignition and flame characteristics.
  •  Test High-Limit Control and Pressure Relief Valve: Verify that these critical safety components are functioning perfectly.
  •  Inspect Circulator Pump: Check the pump’s operation to ensure hot water is being distributed effectively throughout your home.
  •  Examine Venting System: Ensure there are no blockages or leaks in the flue pipe for safe exhaust removal.

For Heat Pumps:

  •  Clean Indoor and Outdoor Coils: Remove dirt and debris that can obstruct airflow and reduce efficiency.
  •  Check Refrigerant Levels: Verify the system has the correct charge for optimal heating performance.
  •  Inspect and Clean Fan Blades and Blower Assembly: Ensure maximum airflow across the coils.
  •  Test the Defrost Cycle: Confirm the system can correctly melt ice from the outdoor coil during colder, damp weather.
  •  Inspect and Secure All Electrical Connections: Check capacitors, relays, and wiring for wear and tear.

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.
