Newsletter - Summer 2005

With the summer season upon us, air conditioning efficiency plays an important role in providing comfort and savings. Are you concerned about high energy bills and cooling down time in your building? Check your system to make sure it conforms to some basic engineering principals. Proper sizing, installation, maintenance, and correct use are keys to cost-effective operation and lower overall cooling costs.

Did you know that I.B. Miller, Inc. also services and installs commercial refrigeration units? From ice machines to walk in boxes and freezers, we can serve your needs. The same efficiency steps for air conditioning can be applied to your commercial refrigeration equipment as well. Call I.B. Miller, Inc. for commercial refrigeration service.

Whether you have a chilled water or direct expansion system, understanding basic air conditioning operation and maintenance helps reduce summer cooling costs. Air conditioning systems take the heat from the occupied space, indoors, and transfers it to an unoccupied space, outdoors. This heat transfer is done with refrigerant passing through copper coils.
One of the most important factors in air conditioning efficiency is maintenance, primarily keeping the coils clean. As the filters and coils become dirty, the systems heat transfer capability is impaired. Therefore, the system has to work harder to achieve the desired comfort level, driving up your cooling costs
The US department of energy states "Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning performance while steadily increasing the use of energy."I.B. Miller, Inc.'s certified technicians can maintain your air conditioning units through the high demands of summer by cleaning your coils and changing your filters. Routine maintenance helps avoid refrigerant leaks, permanent compressor failure, and cooling system down time, along with providing energy cost savings.
