Early Morning: Getting Ready for Service Calls
The day begins before sunrise at 6:00 AM when I check my service schedule at Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC. Winter in Michigan means our team is constantly on the move, helping residents throughout Petersburg, Dundee, and surrounding communities stay warm during the frigid months.
First Call: Emergency Furnace Repair
My first stop is in Ida, where a family woke up to a cold house and a furnace making unusual noises. These emergency calls are common during peak heating season, and we prioritize them to ensure no one is left in the cold for long.
Mid-Morning: Routine Maintenance
By mid-morning, I’m in Ottawa Lake performing scheduled maintenance on a heating system. Preventive care is crucial, and I always remind homeowners that regular service can:
– Extend equipment life
– Improve energy efficiency
– Prevent unexpected breakdowns
– Maintain manufacturer warranties
– Ensure safe operation
Afternoon: New Installation
After lunch, I head to Britton for a new heater installation. The homeowners decided to upgrade their aging system before it failed completely – a smart move that saves both stress and money in the long run.
Evening: Final Checks
As the day winds down in Lambertville, I complete one last service call. Before heading back, I ensure my truck is restocked with common parts and supplies for tomorrow’s challenges.
What makes this job rewarding is knowing that every furnace repair, maintenance check, and installation helps keep our Michigan neighbors comfortable through the harsh winter months. It’s not just about fixing equipment – it’s about providing peace of mind to the communities we serve.
Remember, regular maintenance is key to avoiding those midnight emergency calls. Stay warm, Michigan!
