Being in business since 1991 we have seen many things in the plumbing heating cooling business come and go. Looking back we take alot of pride in trying to challenge ourselves to try new ways of doing things. Time marches on and our customers expect more, and deserve more.

True value comes when the work is done correctly the first time.Tools and equipment can really make a difference in quality. We core drill all our holes in brick and block for furnace pipes exiting through walls refrigeration line kits etc. No big mortar patches much faster and very finished and professional look.

Training ,its great to have technicians that are well rounded but the devils is in the details. Training and sitting down and reading the manufactures installation instructions helps insure customer satisfaction. Trail and error is old school and not acceptable.

Something as common as a humidifier can make such a difference in a customers daily life. Today we received a call from a customer that has respiratory problems. We installed a Trane # 500 power humidifier in there home this fall. There house they said is night and day different from last year. No static shock no dry skin no dry mouth or nose bleeds .

We unlike most companies  hook the humidifier to the hot water line. The water vaporizes much easier and faster and there is much less water waste  and according to the customer has saved alot of money on there gas bill. Proper humidity levels eliminated the cold clammy feel and has allowed them to lower there thermostat 4-6 degrees.

Its nice to get a call out of the blue with such good positive feed back. Our customers have always been our best teacher helping us perfect our craft. Providing a higher standard of health and comfort and saving the customer money at the same time, what could be better.  

Miller plumbing heating cooling has been on a quest to go green with heat pumps instead of old style air conditioning units. We have saved customers alot of energy dollars and have raised the level of comfort at the same time. Keep posted we have new ways to save money and go green.

 One common problem in cooling a lot of Pittsburgh homes is cooling the second floor. Attics should be properly insulated but removing the superheated attic air will help lower the second floor temperature up to 10 degrees.

Installing a roof or gable power attic fan is the best way to remove superheated air that can reach 150 degrees. Attic or gable fans are controlled by a thermostat that is set to turn on at 105 degrees and shut off at 90 degrees.

Additional benefits of a roof or gable fan are increased roof shingle life and removal of humidity. Attic fans use only 300 watts of electricity or less and last for years with very little maintenance.
