Our Mission

To provide "Service With Integrity", and to offer the highest quality product at a reasonable price.

Current owners Ted Carpenter and Gary Schultz strive to maintain the same integrity and quality of service started by our founder Lawrence Porter Sr. back in 1960. This was a time that a mans' work would set him apart from others in his community. We still believe this to be true as we try to keep ourselves ahead of new and innovative technologies today.

Company Profile

Porter & Heckman has been providing plumbing, heating, cooling, geothermal, and electrical services to the area for over 45 years.

We have been a leader in southeastern Michigan with over 31 years of installing and servicing high efficiency geothermal heating and cooling systems.

Starting back in the mid 1970's during the first energy "crisis", geothermal heating/cooling was still in it's infancy. Porter & Heckman worked hard to reach as many people as possible and teach them the advantages of geothermal.

After the end of the "crisis" and with the loss of the tax incentives and rebates, most contractors chose to go back to what they were good at, mainly fuel fired heating systems. Porter & Heckman stuck with what they believed in, and that is to offer high efficiency WaterFurnace geothermal heating, cooling, and hot water systems.

Yes we do sell and install fossil fuel fired furnaces and boilers, conventional water heaters, along with Amana high efficiency air-to-air heat pumps. This is because we realize that geothermal heat pumps are not for everybody, and we are in business to serve our customers with our expert knowledge in this business, and to help them make the right decisions on the most economical, comfortable, and reliable system, that they can afford.

So here in Michigan today, and with over 1,000 installed & serviced geothermal heat pumps, we continue to grow with the geothermal heat pump market during this new and very serious "energy crisis.

GEOTHERMAL HEATING,COOLING, & HOT WATER SYSTEMS IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN

How do we differ with all the other contractors in Michigan that install geothermal heat pumps? First there is our long term commitment in the geothermal industry. We have achieved recognition in sales that continue to grow every year. We are a WaterFurnace "GeoPro Master Dealer". This is a category that is only given to WaterFurnace geothermal dealers that take a firm commitment to improving their training, knowledge, and dedication to their community with promoting high efficiency through renewable energies such as geothermal heat pumps.

We have factory trained technicians. We have a dedicated staff of full time office support that can answer your questions or find the answers. We are members of the Michigan Geothermal Energy Association. You can check out our claims to what we can accomplish for you by calling our toll free number and requesting a free information packet of all our installations of WaterFurnace geothermal heat pumps in Southeast Michigan since 1989 until this present year, and if you want we can send you a copy of the first installation that we know of installed in Lapeer, Michigan.We installed it back in 1978!

And one thing we won't do is come up with some made up numbers as to how many years experience we have in the business, ( by the way if we did that we would have over 150 years to brag about!)

So give us a call today or email your questions or requests to the link on the contact page.
