KTCMorning Routine
After a hot cup of coffee, I head to the Family Heating & Air warehouse to load up my van with the necessary tools and equipment for the day’s appointments. As an HVAC technician, no two days are ever the same, but preparedness is key.
First Stop: Heat Pump Installation
My first job of the day is a heat pump installation for a customer in Pensacola, FL. Upon arrival, I discuss the project details with the homeowner and get to work. Heat pumps are an efficient way to heat and cool a home, and proper installation is crucial for optimal performance.
- Ensure proper placement for airflow
- Connect refrigerant lines
- Wire electrical components
- Program thermostat settings
After a few hours of hard work, the new heat pump is up and running, and the customer is thrilled with the improved comfort and energy savings.
Lunch Break
Lunchtime rolls around, and I grab a quick bite to eat before heading to my next appointment. Working in the HVAC industry can be physically demanding, so staying fueled is important.
Afternoon Appointment: AC Service
In the afternoon, I have an air conditioner service call in Ocean Springs, MS. The customer reported that their AC unit wasn’t cooling properly, so I arrive prepared to diagnose and repair any issues.
After a thorough inspection, I find that the unit’s condenser coils are dirty, restricting airflow and reducing efficiency. I carefully clean the coils and perform routine maintenance to ensure optimal performance for the summer months ahead.
Wrapping Up the Day
As the workday winds down, I complete my paperwork and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments. Being an HVAC technician with Family Heating & Air is rewarding work, knowing that I’ve helped families and businesses stay comfortable year-round.
Tomorrow, I’ll wake up and do it all over again, ready to tackle whatever HVAC challenges come my way.
