Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Republic, MO, I’m already up and ready to face another day as a technician at Knight Heating & Air Conditioning. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been with the company for five years now. Let me take you through a typical day in my life, keeping our community comfortable year-round.
6:30 AM: The Early Bird Gets the Worm
My day starts early. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I’m out the door, checking the weather forecast for the day. It’s going to be a scorcher, which means we’ll likely have some emergency calls for AC repair.
7:15 AM: Morning Briefing
At the office, we have a quick team meeting. Our dispatcher goes over the day’s schedule, and we discuss any challenging cases from the previous day. Today, I’m assigned to three routine maintenance calls and one AC installation.
8:00 AM: First Call of the Day
My first stop is at Mrs. Johnson’s house. She’s been a loyal customer for years, and her system is due for its annual check-up. I perform a thorough inspection, clean the filters, and ensure everything’s running smoothly.
10:30 AM: Tackling an AC Installation
The next job is a big one – installing a new air conditioning system for a young couple who just moved to Republic. It’s a complex process that involves:
1. Removing the old unit
2. Preparing the area for the new system
3. Installing the new AC
4. Testing and calibrating the system
2:00 PM: Lunch Break and Emergency Call
Just as I’m about to bite into my sandwich, we get an emergency call. A family’s AC has completely shut down on the hottest day of the year. I quickly pack up and head over to assess the situation.
3:30 PM: Routine Maintenance Calls
After resolving the emergency, I complete my remaining maintenance calls for the day. These visits are crucial in preventing future breakdowns and ensuring systems run efficiently.
6:00 PM: Wrapping Up
Back at the office, I file my reports for the day and restock my truck for tomorrow. As I head home, I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing I’ve helped keep Republic comfortable for another day.
