A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at McDaniel Furnace & Sheet Metal

Morning: Gearing Up for the Day

As the sun rises over Independence, MO, I start my day at McDaniel Furnace & Sheet Metal. After a quick team meeting, I review my schedule for the day. Today, I’m headed to Blue Springs for an AC installation and then to Liberty for some routine AC service calls.

Mid-Morning: Installing a New AC System

I arrive at the Blue Springs residence around 9 AM. The homeowners are excited about their new energy-efficient air conditioning system. Over the next few hours, I:

• Remove the old AC unit
• Install the new condenser unit outside
• Set up the indoor air handler
• Connect refrigerant lines
• Test the system for proper functioning

By lunchtime, the installation is complete, and I’ve walked the homeowners through the operation of their new system.

Afternoon: AC Service Calls in Liberty

After a quick lunch break, I head to Liberty for my afternoon appointments. My first stop is a home where the AC isn’t cooling properly. I diagnose the issue as a refrigerant leak, which I promptly repair and recharge the system.

The next call is for routine maintenance on a commercial HVAC system. I clean the coils, replace filters, and ensure all components are working efficiently.

Evening: Wrapping Up in Lee’s Summit

As the day winds down, I receive an emergency call from Lee’s Summit. A family’s air conditioner has completely stopped working on a sweltering summer evening. I rush over to diagnose the problem, which turns out to be a faulty capacitor. Within an hour, I’ve replaced the part and restored cool comfort to their home.

Before heading home, I update my work orders and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule. Another satisfying day at McDaniel Furnace & Sheet Metal comes to an end, knowing I’ve helped keep our community comfortable and cool.
