"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!"

"I talked to Nick who was good enough to send a technician out the very same day that I scheduled the service. The technician, Dan, was very prompt, thorough and friendly. He cleaned and sanitized 10+ vents, HVAC system, returns, supply lines, main line, and the dryer vent which was on the roof. A lot of Groupon deals that I looked around for have up-charges for the requirements that I had, particularly since I live in a 3rd floor walk-up in the city. With Lowe's the price that was quoted was the price that I got! I will definitely use their services again!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Most HVAC surge protectors last about three to five years, depending on how often your home experiences blackouts or brownouts. If your unit is susceptible to more frequent electrical surges, consider replacing your surge protector every two years. Consult your HVAC professional to determine when and how often to replace your HVAC surge protectors.

You should know the main components of an air conditioner: the condenser coils, evaporator coils, drip pan, AC filter, ducts, and refrigerant. Each part plays a key role in the performance and safety of your AC system. When tracking the source of AC issues or odors, it helps to know where to look. Your outdoor unit houses your condenser coils, fan, and compressor. Your indoor unit houses your evaporator coils, drain lines, and filter, and it connects to your ductwork. 

A new HVAC system combines components to control indoor temperature and air quality. Features include a furnace or heat pump and an air conditioner or evaporator coil, depending on the climate requirements. It also involves a network of ductwork for air distribution, a thermostat for temperature regulation, and electrical connections. Air purifiers or humidifiers can be integrated to improve indoor air quality.

A frozen coil can cause permanent damage to your HVAC system and lead to costly repairs if not fixed. It can cause the unit to overheat and also cause the compressor to fail. It’s vital to turn the unit off if the coil is frozen and address the issue as soon as possible. 

If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to run your AC all day if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time.
