Early Morning Preparation
The day starts bright and early at 6:30 AM when I arrive at the service warehouse to check my schedule and load up my truck with essential supplies. There’s nothing quite like the crisp Calgary morning air to get you energized for the day ahead.
First Calls of the Day
By 8:00 AM, I’m usually at my first appointment. Today starts with a routine furnace maintenance in Chestermere. These preventative checks are crucial, especially considering our region’s demanding climate. I thoroughly inspect:
• Heat exchangers
• Electrical connections
• Thermostat calibration
• Air filter conditions
• Safety systems
Midday Emergency Response
Around noon, dispatch radios in about an urgent AC repair in Calgary’s southeast. This is when our training really comes into play. Every minute counts when a family is dealing with a malfunctioning cooling system during summer.
Afternoon Consultations
The afternoon typically involves providing estimates for new installations or system upgrades. It’s rewarding to help homeowners understand their heating and cooling options and find solutions that fit their needs and budget.
End of Day Wrap-up
Before heading home, I ensure all paperwork is complete, my truck is restocked, and tomorrow’s schedule is reviewed. It’s satisfying knowing that each day we help keep our community comfortable and safe through all seasons.
The best part of working in HVAC services is the variety each day brings and the gratitude from customers when their comfort is restored. Whether it’s maintaining heating systems in winter or solving cooling issues in summer, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our neighbors.
