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.

For Boilers and Hydronic Systems:

For Heat Pumps:

Customer Testimonials



CUSTOMER SERVICE!




I highly recommend this company for anyone needing AC repair or maintenance. I'll definitely be calling them again for any future needs!








I had the pleasure of experiencing outstanding service and professionalism from Ruben, and I am beyond impressed. From the moment I first contacted them, by phone and follow up communication via email for my quotes. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident.
Ruben, was incredibly responsive, addressing all my inquiries promptly and with clear, thorough explanations. Their dedication to understanding and meeting my needs was remarkable.
Ruben, went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled seamlessly, demonstrating not just professionalism, but also a sincere dedication to customer satisfaction.
I can't recommend Piggies air Conditioning/Ruben highly enough. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with exceptional service, look no further. They are a true example of what outstanding professionalism should be.








The technician arrived on time, which I really appreciated given how crucial air conditioning is in this heat. Ruben was professional and friendly, explaining what he was doing throughout the process. The issue I had was diagnosed fairly quickly, and they provided me with a few options on how to fix it. The pricing was transparent, and I didn't feel like there were any hidden costs, which is always a plus when it comes to service calls like these. Highly recommend this company!




1st & foremost, huge shout out to Ruben thank u so so much for reaching out & making things happen SO FAST! I was so surprised since i had reached out to a couple different places who lagged on even answering calls, messages, etc.
Ruben was also very informative & taught me ALOT that i didnt know about.
Also cant leave the amazing Luis & Miles out of
this review.
They came, they saw, they conquered!
And they worked pretty swiftly too, felt very comfy around em, loved their personalities, great attitude, work ethic, professionalism, had some really good convos & they still got the job done lightning fast
SUPER HUGE SHOUT OUT & THANKS for everything guys! Definitely recommending u guys to everyone i know.




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.




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.
