Many suburban Chicago homeowners have a whole home generator due to the unpredictability of the weather in the area. Power outages happen, and generators can keep your family safe and comfortable.
Whole house generators can last 20 to 40 years if they are properly maintained and serviced annually, but they still may need repairs periodically. The team at TR Miller has expertise in all types of whole home generator repair and maintenance. We’ve been serving suburban Chicago residents since 2008, and we prioritize the safety and comfort of our customers.

- Noticeable leaks around the generator
- Odd sounds coming from the generator

- Changing the air filter
