KTCRise and Shine
My day at Riley Heating & Cooling starts early. As an HVAC technician, I’m up with the sun, ready to tackle whatever challenges the day may bring. After a quick breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, I head to our Oak Park office to check the schedule and load up my service van.
Morning Rounds
8:00 AM: My first call is a routine maintenance check on a residential heating system. As fall approaches, many homeowners are preparing for the cooler months ahead. I inspect the furnace, clean the filters, and ensure everything is running efficiently.
10:30 AM: Next up is an emergency call. A local restaurant’s air conditioning has gone out, and with the lunchtime rush approaching, they need it fixed ASAP. I diagnose the issue quickly – a faulty compressor – and get to work replacing it.
Lunchtime Learning
During my lunch break, I take some time to review the latest HVAC technology updates. Riley Heating & Cooling encourages ongoing education, and staying current with industry advancements is crucial in our field.
Afternoon Adventures
1:30 PM: The afternoon brings me to a new construction site where I’m installing a state-of-the-art heating and cooling system. It’s exciting to be part of creating comfortable living spaces for future Oak Park residents.
4:00 PM: My final call of the day is a consultation with a homeowner interested in upgrading to a more energy-efficient HVAC system. I explain the benefits of various options and provide a detailed quote.
Wrapping Up
As the workday comes to a close, I return to the office to file my reports and prepare for tomorrow. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our Oak Park neighbors stay comfortable year-round.
Working for Riley Heating & Cooling isn’t just a job – it’s a chance to make a real difference in our community, one home or business at a time.
