Rise and Shine: The Day Begins
As the sun peeks over the horizon, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at Long’s Air Conditioning, Inc. My name is Mike, and I’ve been an HVAC technician here for five years. Today promises to be a scorcher, which means our team will be in high demand.
7:00 AM: Morning Briefing
I arrive at the office, grab a cup of coffee, and join my colleagues for our daily huddle. Our supervisor reviews the day’s schedule, highlighting priority calls and any special instructions. Today, we have a mix of routine maintenance, repairs, and one new installation on the docket.
8:30 AM: First Call – Routine Maintenance
My first stop is a residential maintenance check. I inspect the system, clean the coils, and replace the air filter. The homeowner is pleased with the service, and I offer some tips on improving energy efficiency.
10:45 AM: Emergency Repair
I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning AC unit at a local business. Upon arrival, I diagnose the issue as a faulty capacitor. Luckily, I have the part on hand and quickly complete the repair, much to the relief of the sweating employees.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break
I take a quick break to refuel and hydrate. Working in attics and crawl spaces can be physically demanding, so it’s crucial to stay energized.
2:00 PM: New Installation
The afternoon is dedicated to installing a new, high-efficiency HVAC system in a newly constructed home. This is where my expertise really shines as I ensure everything is set up for optimal performance.
5:30 PM: Wrap-up and Paperwork
Back at the office, I complete my daily reports and prepare for tomorrow. I also restock my truck with commonly used parts and materials.
