Rise and Shine: The Start of a Busy Day
As an HVAC technician at East Coast Mechanical, my day begins early. I’m up at 6 AM, ready to tackle the challenges that await me in the world of air conditioning and heating systems. After a quick breakfast, I’m out the door by 7 AM, heading to our first job in Wallingford, CT.
Morning: AC Service in Wallingford
Our first stop is a residential AC service call. The homeowner reported that their system wasn’t cooling efficiently. After a thorough inspection, I discover that the air filter is clogged and the refrigerant levels are low. I clean the system, replace the filter, and recharge the refrigerant. The customer is relieved to have their AC working properly again, especially with the summer heat approaching.
Mid-Morning: Air Conditioner Repair in Meriden
Next, we head to Meriden for an air conditioner repair job at a small business. The unit is making strange noises and not cooling properly. Upon inspection, I find that the compressor is failing. I explain the situation to the business owner and provide a quote for the replacement. They approve, and I get to work installing the new compressor.
Lunch Break
Around noon, I take a quick lunch break. It’s a chance to refuel and review the afternoon’s schedule.
Early Afternoon: HVAC Installation in Southington
The afternoon begins with a new HVAC installation in Southington. This is a bigger job that requires precision and teamwork. We spend several hours carefully installing the new system, ensuring everything is properly connected and functioning optimally.
Late Afternoon: AC Repair in Hamden
As the day winds down, we receive an emergency call from Hamden. A family’s AC has completely stopped working during a heatwave. We rush over and diagnose the problem as a faulty capacitor. Luckily, we have the part on hand and can replace it quickly, restoring cool air to the grateful family.
Evening: Wrapping Up in Waterbury
Our final stop of the day is in Waterbury for a routine maintenance check on a commercial HVAC system. We perform a thorough inspection, clean the components, and ensure everything is running efficiently.
End of Day Reflections
As I head home around 7 PM, I reflect on the day’s accomplishments:
- Serviced ACs in multiple locations
- Repaired both residential and commercial units
- Installed a new HVAC system
- Helped customers stay cool and comfortable
Working at East Coast Mechanical is challenging but rewarding. Every day brings new problems to solve and opportunities to help people in our community. As I prepare for another busy day tomorrow, I’m grateful for the skills I’ve developed and the difference I can make in people’s lives through quality HVAC services.
