A Typical Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician
A Typical Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician
Morning Routine
My day starts bright and early at 7 AM, grabbing a quick cup of coffee before heading to the Colman Heating & Air office. As an HVAC technician, I never know what challenges the day might bring, but I’m always excited to tackle them head-on.
Daily Briefing
Once at the office, our team gathers for a brief meeting to discuss the day’s schedule. We review the list of service calls, which can range from routine air conditioner maintenance to complex HVAC installations. Our dispatcher ensures that each technician is equipped with the necessary tools and supplies for the day’s tasks.
On the Road
- My first stop is often an air conditioner repair call in Titusville, FL. A homeowner has reported that their unit isn’t cooling efficiently, and it’s my job to diagnose and fix the issue.
- After completing the repair, I head over to Mims, FL, where a commercial client needs a heat pump replacement. This job requires careful planning and coordination with the building’s facilities team.
- Next up is a routine HVAC service call in Port St. John, FL. I thoroughly inspect the system, clean the components, and ensure it’s operating at peak efficiency.
Lunch Break
Around midday, I take a well-deserved break for lunch. This is an opportunity to recharge my batteries and prepare for the afternoon’s tasks.
Afternoon Appointments
- After lunch, I head to Cocoa, FL, where a new construction project requires a complete HVAC installation. I work closely with the contractors to ensure the system is properly sized and installed according to code.
- My final stop for the day is in Cape Canaveral, FL, where a restaurant owner has reported issues with their commercial air conditioning system. I troubleshoot the problem and provide a solution to keep their customers and staff comfortable.
Wrapping Up
As the day winds down, I return to the office to complete any necessary paperwork and restock my van with supplies for tomorrow. It’s been a busy day, but I take pride in knowing that I’ve helped numerous customers maintain a comfortable living or working environment.
At Colman Heating & Air, we are committed to providing exceptional service to our community, and each day is an opportunity to uphold that commitment.
