Is going 'GREEN' right for you?

With all the recent ‘green’ talk, you may have heard about Geothermal Heat Pumps, 95% Efficient Furnaces, and other energy-saving mechanical equipment. It can be confusing with so much information being tossed around, so let me give you a brief overview of some of the energy-saving, ‘green’ technologies that Eller Services offers.

95% Efficient Furnaces and 16+ Seer Air Conditioners - These are the most energy efficient furnace and A/C units you can purchase today. If you replace an old furnace with one of these, the savings in energy will, in many cases, pay for itself in 1-2 years! Eller Services has several options and brands to choose from, and we will come to your home to provide a FREE evaluation and replacement quote.

Geothermal Heat Pumps are a technology that uses the relatively constant temperature of the ground water several feet below the earth's surface as a source of heating and cooling. These systems can cut energy use by as much as 90%, and can be retrofitted for existing homes or businesses - no matter where you live. They are more expensive than traditional solutions, but the energy savings over the life of the unit and home is incredible. With Michigan’s long winters, mild summers and rising energy costs, Geothermal Heat Pumps are ideal. If you would like to learn more about Geothermal, or would like to schedule a FREE in home evaluation, visit our web site www.ellerservice.com or call 248.652.6650 TODAY! 

Continuous (tankless) hot water heaters have been common place in Europe & Asia for decades, and are quickly gaining popularity in the United States. Instead of keeping a large supply of water hot to be available all the time, a continuous water heater heats the water only when you need it. As a result, most households will save energy because they are not heating water 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Plus one of the best bonuses is that you never run out of hot water when you need it! Eller Services installs Rinnai brand heaters, the industry leader for continuous water heaters.

90% efficient water heaters save energy and keep a supply of hot water available for homes where a continuous water heater is not appropriate. Eller Services installs the A.O. Smith Vertex - the only truly 90% efficient heater on the market. 

Toilets with Dual Flush technology have two flush buttons - one uses 1.6 gallons of water, and the other 0.8 gallons, which translates into a savings of up to 18,000 gallons per year for an average family of 4. Only a few companies offer dual flush technology. Eller Services has chosen to focus on the Caroma brand, an Australian company who is a world leader with proven reliability. Not only will these toilets save water and money, they almost never clog because of their unique design and superior technology. 

The big question is, “Are these solutions right for me and when should I replace my old systems?”

There are many factors to consider when replacing mechanical equipment in a home or business. Eller Services will be happy to send one of our professionals (at no cost to you) to evaluate which systems are best for you. One thing is for certain, rising energy costs combined with the current tax rebates make this the best time to ‘go green’. Your pocketbook and the environment will thank you!

A New Furnace Can Quickly Pay for Itself!

If you have an old, outdated, and inefficient furnace you are paying several hundred dollars more per year for energy than you need to.

In addition, if you’ve recently upgraded your windows or insulation, you could possibly install a smaller furnace with higher efficiency which could save you even more.

In some cases, installing a new 95% efficient furnace of the proper size could save you 50% of your monthly gas bill.

With natural gas prices expected to rise significantly this winter the money you’ll save over the next 5 years could easily pay for the new unit! Plus Arcoaire is offering an extended 10 year warranty at no extra charge.

A brand new furnace with the peace-of-mind of a 10-year, all parts and labor warranty assures you will be ready for a very comfortable winter.

Call us today for a FREE quote to replace your furnace and have our heating technician n estimate the energy savings you will receive.

Why did we changed our name to Eller Services?

Eller Plumbing Services has been providing professional, reliable and high quality plumbing to the community for 40 years. Over the years we have received many calls from our customers looking for reliable heating, cooling and irrigation professionals and have passed these calls on to individuals and companies that we felt would do a good job. We have also received feedback that our customers were not getting the same level of service from these companies that they were accustom to getting with us. So after several months of research we decided that we could offer the same quality and reliability for heating, cooling and irrigation that our customers had come to expect from our plumbing work. In order to do this we needed to find quality individuals with a lot of experience in their respective fields. We are happy to say that in the spring of this year we added Jim Carter to our team as our Lead Heating and Cooling Technician and Carl Losey as our Irrigation and Water Purification Specialist. (Read more about them inside)

Because of this change the name Eller Plumbing Services no longer expresses what we offer our customers, so we have dropped the plumbing from the name and are now simply Eller Services. This focuses on what has always set us apart from other companies by providing professional, reliable licensed technicians to service your home or business.

Over the last few months we have also put systems in place that will improve our ability to respond to your needs and maintain the high quality of workmanship and professionalism that you have come to except.

We are excited about these changes and are looking forward to providing you with Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Irrigation and Water Purification service. When you call Eller Services you can rest assured that a professional technician be completing the work and that our first priority is keeping your home or business safe and comfortable.
