"Porterhouse Heating and Cooling was very professional and knowledgeable on the service provided. I used them to install my air conditioner unit. Eventhough, the unit was not my issue, they still came out and was able to find the issue and fix it. They were friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. I will definitely use again for any of my HVAC concerns."

"I replaced both of my forced-air furnaces and a/c units due to age (25 years) and efficiency. I also replaced two humidifiers and upgraded to wi-fi thermostats. I contacted TR Miller and another American Standard contractor to receive bids. Tim (the owner) came out and did a thorough job of accessing our situation and walking through his proposal. I contacted both contractors over the next 7-10 days to better understand competing proposals as well as negotiate the overall price. While both parties were close on price, Tim's level of responsiveness and demonstrating that he wanted the business made the difference.
We scheduled an install date for Nov 8th. His crew of five installers showed up on schedule (8am) and worked diligently through the day. They were all very professional and always willing to explain what they were doing if I had questions. Amazingly, the job took just under the 8 hours they estimated. Ben, the manager, provided a detailed walk through of all the work, how to care for the units, as well as things to watch for. Another installer explained how the wi-fi thermostats worked (which are awesome and highly recommended by the way). There was quite the mess from ripping out my old units and some of the duct work, however the crew cleaned up everything. After they left, it was as if they were never there.
Overall, I could not be happier with the process. Despite rather mediocre reviews on Angie's List, I can't say enough good things about my experience with TR Miller.

"AWE promptly responded to my work request and kept me informed about my appointment status. Peter came to perform the work. He was very thorough and even discovered that the HVAC contractor on our new home installed 2 furnaces: a current year model as well as a prior year model that was more prone to breakdowns. Provided great information and would definitely hire again. Thanks!"

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop. 

If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

Yes, it’s important to turn off your AC sometimes to give it a break and prevent it from freezing up. If your AC runs all the time, your system’s parts will wear down quicker, which may mean that you need to replace it sooner. Plus, using your AC constantly uses more electricity and leads to higher energy bills.

Fixing a leak in an AC unit costs $200 to $1,600, depending on the type of leak and any related damage. But depending on the age and condition of your AC, it might make more sense to replace the AC unit instead of repairing it. If your AC is only a few years old and relatively problem-free, then repairing it is the right call. But if it’s nearing a decade old and has other issues, consider replacing it.

Vents may blow air even though the air conditioning system is off because of the pressure difference between indoor and outdoor air or drafts from leaky ducts. Check for leaks or drafts in the ductwork or around windows and doors.
