A Day in the Life of a Heat Engineering HVAC Technician
Rise and Shine: The Early Bird Gets the Cool Air
As a dedicated HVAC technician at Heat Engineering, my day starts bright and early at 6:00 AM. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I’m out the door by 6:45 AM, ready to tackle the day’s challenges in Westmont, IL, and the surrounding areas.
8:00 AM: First Call – AC Installation in Hinsdale
My first appointment is an air conditioning installation for a lovely family in Hinsdale. I arrive on time, greet the homeowners, and get to work. This job involves:
- Removing the old unit
- Preparing the area for the new system
- Installing the new AC unit
- Testing and calibrating the system
By noon, the new air conditioner is up and running, and the family is thrilled with the improved cooling performance.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break and Team Check-in
I take a quick lunch break and touch base with our dispatch team. They inform me of an emergency AC repair in Brookfield, which I’ll need to handle after my next scheduled appointment.
2:00 PM: Routine AC Service in Western Springs
My afternoon begins with a routine air conditioner service call in Western Springs. This involves:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Inspecting and cleaning coils
- Ensuring proper system operation
The homeowner is pleased with the service and even asks about scheduling their next maintenance visit.
4:00 PM: Emergency AC Repair in Brookfield
I rush to Brookfield to handle the emergency repair. The homeowner is distressed as their AC has completely stopped working on a scorching summer day. After a thorough diagnosis, I identify a faulty capacitor as the culprit. Luckily, I have the necessary part in my truck, and within an hour, their AC is back up and running.
6:00 PM: Wrapping Up in Westchester
My final stop of the day is in Westchester for a quick AC tune-up. As I finish up, I receive a call from a satisfied customer in Countryside, thanking me for the excellent service provided last week.
7:30 PM: Heading Home
As I drive back to the Heat Engineering office, I reflect on another successful day of keeping our clients cool and comfortable. After completing my paperwork and restocking my truck for tomorrow, I head home, ready to rest and recharge for another day of HVAC adventures.
Working at Heat Engineering is more than just a job – it’s a commitment to ensuring comfort and efficiency for our valued customers across Westmont, Brookfield, Hinsdale, Westchester, Western Springs, and Countryside, IL.
