Air Quality

Today, builders wrap houses in Tyvek, add modern insulation, and carefully seal cracks around doors and windows. While this makes for a very energy-efficient home, it also means that indoor pollutants stay inside. The more energy-efficient the home, the more pollutants, such as dust mites, pollen, dander, mold and smoke, are trapped inside…and we are breathing in those contaminants. In other words, our indoor air can be hazardous to our health!

Opening windows and doors to ventilate the house may work, but this could increase heating and air conditioning bills substantially.  Portable air cleaners only work in small, enclosed areas.  Whole house air cleaners offer substantial advantages, including:

  • Healthy indoor air throughout your home. Air cleaners remove up to 99% of the dust, allergens and particulates in your home. This includes smaller particles that might pass through, or not be caught by portable air filters
  • A healthier family. Anyone with allergies, asthma or compromised respiratory systems may see substantial improvement in symptoms and overall health when the air is clean and fresh.
  • Better efficiency. Fiberglass pleated furnace filters may remove small particles, but also restrict airflow to your heating and cooling system. This can make your blower work harder, consuming more energy and shortening its life.
  • Less maintenance.  To preserve efficiency, standard fiberglass filters must be changed every month. Whole house air cleaners can typically last 3-9 months.
  • More protection for your HVAC system.  Protecting HVAC systems from airborne particles keeps the furnace and air conditioner running efficiently, avoiding unexpected breakdowns.

    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.
