Staying local Since opening in 1968, the business has focused on a small service area in Bellaire to maintain qual- ity, personalized service, Miller said. His father taught him the old-fashioned value of “doing business on a handshake.” “We’re small, and we’ll probably stay small so we can sit down one-on-one and spend two to three hours with a customer every time.”

Miller never let go of his passion and now he and his daughter, Morgan Miller, who also works at Bellaire Air Conditioning as a customer service representative, travel around Europe once a year performing in their band, High Desert Queen. The satisfaction he feels when making and performing music is the same feeling he gets when he solves an issue for a customer, Miller said. He hopes one day his daughters will carry on the legacy of Bellaire A/C into a third generation.
