Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Phoenix, Arizona, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day with 4 Him Cooling & Heating. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been working as an HVAC technician for the past five years. Let me take you through a typical day in my life, serving the communities of Phoenix, Encanto Village, and Estrella Village.
6:00 AM – Starting the Day Right
My alarm goes off, and I’m quick to get moving. After a hearty breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, I check my schedule for the day. Today, I’ve got a mix of routine maintenance calls and a couple of emergency repairs.
7:30 AM – First Call in Encanto Village
I arrive at my first appointment in Encanto Village. The homeowner’s AC unit has been making strange noises, and with the Arizona heat, it’s crucial to get it fixed quickly. After a thorough inspection, I identify the issue: a worn-out fan belt. I replace it, and the unit is purring like new in no time.
10:00 AM – Routine Maintenance in Phoenix
My next stop is a routine maintenance check for a long-time client in Phoenix. Regular maintenance is key to keeping HVAC systems running efficiently, especially in our hot climate. I clean the filters, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.
12:30 PM – Lunch Break and Team Check-In
I take a quick lunch break and check in with the 4 Him Cooling & Heating office. We discuss any urgent calls that have come in and adjust the afternoon schedule accordingly.
1:30 PM – Emergency Call in Estrella Village
An urgent call comes in from Estrella Village – a family’s AC has completely stopped working. I head over immediately and discover a failed compressor. After explaining the situation to the homeowners, I get to work replacing the compressor, ensuring they’ll have cool air again soon.
4:00 PM – Final Appointment of the Day
My last scheduled appointment is back in Phoenix, where I’m installing a new, energy-efficient HVAC system. This is one of my favorite parts of the job – helping homeowners upgrade to more efficient and cost-effective solutions.
6:30 PM – Wrapping Up
As the day winds down, I complete my paperwork, ensuring all jobs are properly documented. I also prep my van for tomorrow, restocking any supplies I’ve used throughout the day.
Reflecting on a Day Well Spent
As I head home, I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing I’ve helped keep my community comfortable in the Phoenix heat. Working for 4 Him Cooling & Heating isn’t just a job – it’s a chance to make a real difference in people’s lives, one HVAC system at a time.
