 Miller Plumbing Heating Cooling recommends the energy and environmental savings of a tank less heater. When combined with the 30% government tax credit and endless hot water its easy to see there benefit.

But tank type water heaters have changed a lot and effective 2005 had to meet new energy and safety codes. You can no longer reach in and light a water heater, they now have a clicker to make a spark to light the pilot.

Tank type water heaters are much better at reducing sediment build up and have a much higher R value which means less stand by loss.

A special burner is now standard with many safety improvements. Miller Plumbing Heating Cooling stocks both tank and tank less water heaters and has 24/7 service near you.

The heat wave that hit Pittsburgh this April was the straw that broke the back of many old central air conditioners. Miller Plumbing Heating Cooling recommends replacing your old air conditioner with a heat pump.

Heat pumps look and work the same as a central air conditioner in the summer but have one major advantage. In the winter they pump free heat from the air outside (Latent Heat) into your home. A 13 seer heat pump will provide 3kw of heat for every 1 kw used to run the heat pump. Higher seer units save even more electricity.

With the use of a dual fuel thermostat your existing gas furnace will provide backup heat when needed on those really cold days. The thermostat helps you pick the utility that will be the most cost effective on any given day ELECTRIC/ GAS similar to a hybrid car saves money and better for the environment.

When your air conditioning or heat pump stops working it is important you call a company that understands how to properly diagnose and repair A/C and heat pump units.  There are many things that can give false information to the technician when reading his gauges.

The freon charge is very important to the efficiency and life of your A/C or heat pump.  Most compressor failures are due to improper charging. Overcharging will overheat the compressor make the unit use a lot of electricity and be very noisy.

Under charging can cause the unit to freeze up not cool or take very long to cool and again use a lot of electricity.  The outdoor unit should be clean before charging. Also the furnace or air handler fan speeds should be set and all filters should be clean.
