Suburban Chicago summers can be sweltering, making your A/C your best friend. It’s important to keep your A/C in tip top shape so that your family stays comfortable. A yearly tune up is the best way to keep your unit at maximum performance, and offers several other benefits as well.

1. Reduced Energy Bills

When your A/C is clean and maintained, it works at it maintains its maximum efficiency level. This can keep your energy bills at a reasonable level, even during the hottest months of the year.

2. Better Cooling

3. Reduced Repair Costs

Keeping your A/C clean and maintained will prevent issues that need professional repair so that you can keep more money in your pocket.

4. Reduced Risk of Breakdowns

During the tune up, issues may be identified that need repair. This can help to prevent your A/C from breaking down or operating poorly once you start using it regularly. Identifying issues early also prevents them from becoming worse or causing more damage.

5. Extended Lifespan

Keeping your A/C properly maintained will ensure that it has a long lifespan. Most air conditioners last about 20 years but can last longer if they are cared for. Air conditioners that are not well maintained are not likely to make it the full 20 years.

6. Better Indoor Air Quality

A maintained air conditioner does a better job at filtering pollutants out of the air, giving you better indoor air quality. If it’s not maintained, it circulates the pollutants instead of protecting you from them. Maintenance also ensures that you have less humidity in your home.

7. Warranty Terms

Some manufacturer warranties require annual servicing to keep the warranty valid. When you have your A/C serviced, be sure to keep your receipts in case you ever need to make a warranty claim.

A tune up includes:

Cleaning components
Cleaning or replacing air filters

Brian Sloan

Brian Sloan is the President of TR Miller Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, one of the western Chicago suburbs' leading family owned home service companies, serving homeowners across more than 80 communities throughout Will, Kendall, DuPage, Kane, and Cook counties.

TR Miller is more than a business to Brian, it's a family legacy. The company was founded by his father, Tim Miller, and Brian and his brother Jim have played an important role in growing the business from a small local operation into a full service residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical company serving homeowners throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

Brian's perspective on the home services industry comes from firsthand experience. Before taking on leadership responsibilities, he worked in the field as an HVAC Service Technician and Fabrication Technician, diagnosing heating and cooling systems, assembling custom HVAC components, and supporting residential installations throughout the western suburbs.

That hands on foundation continues to influence the way Brian leads TR Miller today. He understands both the work taking place inside a customer's home and the systems, training, and support required behind the scenes to consistently deliver a great customer experience.

Over the course of his career at TR Miller, Brian has worked across nearly every major area of the business, including operations, marketing, sales, job coordination, customer service, finance, and leadership. Today, as President, he is responsible for the overall strategy, growth, culture, and performance of the organization.

That breadth of experience across both the technical and business sides of home services has helped shape how TR Miller operates: combining the systems and accountability of a professionally run organization with the care, responsiveness, and personal connection of a family business.
Brian's philosophy is straightforward, make home services convenient and reliable while giving homeowners the information they need to make the best decisions for their homes and families. That means educating customers, providing clear options and upfront pricing, and making sure homeowners understand both what was found and why a repair or replacement may be recommended.

Under Brian's leadership, TR Miller has expanded beyond HVAC into plumbing and electrical services, grown across multiple locations, invested heavily in technical and leadership development, and been recognized seven times on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest growing privately held companies.
