AC/ Air Conditioner

 

Spring has sprung in the Plainfield area.  It’s that small span of time when it’s not too cold and not too hot.

However, it won’t be long before we shut down the furnace until the fall and flip over to the air conditioner.  Temperatures will continue to rise, and homeowners will turn their attention to keeping their homes cool and de-humidified.

Time for Annual AC Maintenance

It is tempting to skip the annual system check and cleaning of the air conditioner.  However, the benefits of an annual system check are essential to having a cool home this summer.

Air conditioner maintenance is crucial for the efficient operation of your unit.  It can also reduce the risk of a potentially high cost repair this summer.

Even if you have a new unit, annual maintenance is essential.  Most manufacturers require annual service to maintain the warranty protection.

Choose the Right Company

When selecting an HVAC company to handle your annual maintenance it’s important to choose the right business.

  • Are the technicians NATE Certified?
  • What is done during the AC maintenance?
  • What is covered in the price?
  • What would require an additional charge?
  • Are there any special savings/coupons/savings plans?

It’s also a good idea to check on what other customers have to say about the service provided.  Read the company reviews on Google and Facebook.

Annual Maintenance is Cheaper than Repairs

Don’t wait until something goes wrong.  Because if your AC is going to have a problem you don’t want to be caught in the heat of July with no cool air and a pricey repair.  Preventative maintenance can ensure your unit operates properly throughout the season or can find any issues that may require a unit replacement.

    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.
