"TR Miller Heating, Cooling & Plumbing I think an obvious first step for the company is to be more upfront with pricing. By offering an upfront cost of $79 to assess a plumbing issue seems reasonable. To then have a minimal price that starts at $494 for something as simple as a 45 minute repair seems very unfair. It is similar to a bait and switch--reasonable to ridiculous. I was very specific in my needs--which was to connect two 1" water pipes 4 3/8" apart. I even forwarded a pic before anyone from TR Miller came out to the residence. The explanation from the manager was inadequate and false. Manager stated pricing was based on 50% going to the technician, 40% for overhead, and 10% profit. While I have already gone through the manager's exaggerated pay rate for the technician repair at roughly $250 per hour, Glassdoor site shows a technician hourly salary ranging from $20-$33 per hour. Even at an hourly rate of $50 per hour, a 40 hour per week technician would be at an annual salary of $100k per year-- which is probably closer to reality for pricing. With inflated non-factual pricing to start for labor and then factoring your overhead and profit off of an inflated labor rate, you literally are overinflating pricing by a large margin. Very unfair for a homeowner enticed to use your service which supposedly starts at $79. Will continue to be dissatisfied with my experience with TR Miller. You are a predatory company taking advantage of people. Based on my math, you would have still had great and more fair margins for a 45 minute job charging $250 for the job."

Unlike the big corporate chains, which often come with large price tags on their products and services, we are able to keep our operational costs low and we pass those savings to our customers with affordable pricing and quality products.
"Our A/C died last summer for our third floor, and the place was starting to feel like a furnace on hot days. We contacted three companies to come out and give a quote. They were great when they arrived: masked appropriately, bringing their own booties, they took a look, made some measurements, and sent out quotes for a variety of options. Giovanni was thoroughly professional, very informative, and honestly just came across as a genuinely nice guy.(One of the other companies didn't even bother to send a quote...) Life got busy, and fixing the A/C got pushed to the back burner. When I contacted Giovanni again, he came right back out (even though it is nearly July and they are MUCH busier,) let the previous quote stand, didn't argue with our choosing just to do the A/C instead of also doing the furnace, and got us scheduled for two days later on the weekend (as they were booked up during the week until the middle of July.) So, as a Father's Day present, I got a new A/C installed. Nice! They showed up early, put down tarp on the stairs, were overall quiet enough that the baby sleeping in the room below where they were working didn't wake up, and finished right on schedule. I will definitely be using them for our heating/cooling needs in the future. Honestly, you probably should, too!"

To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
You save money on heating oil in a few ways:
Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Increase energy efficiency by insulating your basement and attic.
Turn down your thermostat a few degrees.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.
Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
