A Winter Morning Rush: Keeping Toronto Warm One Furnace at a Time

5:30 AM – Rise and Shine

The day starts early at Belyea Brothers, especially during the coldest winter months when Toronto homeowners need us most. After a quick breakfast and checking the day’s service schedule, I make sure my service van is fully stocked with essential parts and diagnostic tools.

7:00 AM – First Emergency Call

The dispatcher sends me to a residential emergency in North York. An older couple’s furnace stopped working overnight, and their home temperature has dropped to uncomfortable levels. These situations remind me why preventative maintenance is so crucial.

Key Tasks During a Typical Service Call:

• Complete system diagnostic check
• Clean or replace filters as needed
• Inspect electrical connections
• Test safety controls
• Check carbon monoxide levels
• Verify proper airflow

12:30 PM – Lunch Break and Team Check-in

Between service calls, I grab a quick lunch and touch base with other technicians. We often share tips and experiences, helping each other solve complex heating issues we encounter in the field.

2:00 PM – Furnace Replacement Project

The afternoon involves a scheduled furnace replacement in Etobicoke. These installations typically take several hours, requiring precise attention to detail and adherence to safety protocols. It’s satisfying knowing that a new, efficient system will keep this family warm for years to come.

5:30 PM – Wrapping Up

Before heading back to base, I ensure all paperwork is complete and the van is prepared for tomorrow. Being a heating technician in Toronto means always being ready for whatever the next day might bring, especially during our demanding winter season.

Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay warm and comfortable. It’s more than just fixing furnaces; it’s about providing peace of mind to our valued customers across the Greater Toronto Area.
