AC/ Air Conditioner Heating

The air quality inside your home is greatly affected by the condition of your HVAC system. Furthermore, if your system is not maintained regularly, it can accumulate dust and other debris causing it to work harder and therefore increase your energy bill. According to The Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside your home can often be more polluted than the air outdoors.

This can pose a threat to your overall health and well-being. Symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing and sneezing, asthma, and headaches can develop due to poor indoor air quality. When you join an HVAC maintenance program you can prevent costly repairs or replacement and boost the air quality inside your home.

Reduced Energy Costs

You can reduce your energy bill significantly when you have an HVAC system that is regularly maintained. Excessive dust and other airborne particles such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds), tobacco smoke, mold or fungi, glues and disinfectants, perfumes and pesticides can make your system work harder.

If your energy bill is too high, your HVAC system could be to blame. Regular system maintenance ensures that your system is working properly and keep your energy costs to a minimum.

Dust in Your Home

Dust and other toxic particles in the air will force your HVAC system to work harder than usual. This will mean high energy costs for you. Excessive dust will block ducts and impede HVAC performance.

This can result in unhealthy. Air ducts should be cleaned regularly to prevent potential health risks. With every HVAC tune-up, your air ducts receive a thorough inspection and cleaning.

Regular HVAC Maintenance Is Important

Your HVAC system is not unlike your car. They are both valuable assets that you want to keep in good condition for as long as you own them. With an HVAC maintenance program, you can avoid costly HVAC repairs and any unexpected surprises.

Regular maintenance will keep the system running smoothly year-round, as well as improve your indoor air quality. Your home will feel comfortable year-round, and your health and that of your loved ones will be greatly improved.

    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.
