Called Mills Heating and Air in the morning and they had technician Chris here that afternoon. Unfortunately our outside compressor was shot(we had it for 15yrs!) Had Sales Rep Dylan out within an hour to discuss new unit options. Very personable and responsive. They offered to provide portable AC units to help cool the house temporarily. Will update review once the new system is installed

I do not recommend Mills Heating and Air, Inc. at all! Made the mistake to hire them to do the electrical and HVAC on our new home.

My family and I recently moved to Virginia
The house we purchased had a very old heat pump
which wasnt working properly and cost a lot of money in electricity, Mills did an awesome job from start to finish of the project. They had all new heat pump and everything that goes with it installed within 24 hours of our call,
On time and on budget. My house is warm including the floors and heat pump isnt running constantly with our new unit and we couldnt be happier
