Get Ready for Winter
- Cold temperatures are just around the corner. Will your boiler be ready for winter? The time is fast approaching when your boiler will be back on-line facing winter's demands. Get Ready! Don't run the risk of inefficiently running your boiler and using too much
fuel this winter. I. B. Miller Inc. suggests you call us to have one of our qualified boiler service technicians open, clean and inspect
your boiler then fire the burners for the season. Setting your system to operate efficiently will save you money and keep you warm
during the long cold winter.

Cooling Towers Need Winterization
- The water basin must be kept from
freezing when cooling tower is idle. This
can be accomplished by a remote sump
installed in a heated space, steam/hot
water coils or electric immersion heaters
in the tower basin.
- All outdoor water lines, including the
make up water and drain lines, should be
traced with heater cable and insulated.
- Frequent visual inspections must be
performed regularly to insure all
operating controls are properly set
and functioning. Freeze prevention
is necessary to avoid any possible
icing conditions that may develop
which could damage the unit.
Energy Efficency
Saving Fuel
- This year higher heating fuel prices areon everyone's mind. Scale buildup in
boilers and pipes affects the efficency of
your heating system. Boiler efficiency
plays an important part in saving fuel.
This summer, I.B. Miller Inc. replaced
the boiler system at Belmar Plaza
Apartments. Now the Belmar Housing
Authority will save on energy costs
while heating their building. Will your
system run efficiently this winter? I.B.
