A Winter Day in the Life of an HVAC Service Professional Elise O, 11/16/2024 6:00 AM – Rise and Shine The day begins early at Air Mechanical, Inc. As I grab my morning coffee, I check my work tablet for today’s schedule. Six appointments across Boulder County, starting with an urgent furnace repair in Louisville. 7:30 AM – First Call Arriving at the first home, I find a family with young kids huddled in blankets. Their heating system stopped working overnight. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a failed ignitor – a common issue during Colorado’s cold snaps. 10:00 AM – Boiler Maintenance My next stop takes me to Erie for scheduled maintenance on a commercial boiler system. Regular maintenance is crucial for these systems, especially in our region’s variable climate. Key Tasks Throughout the Day: Performing safety inspections Cleaning and replacing filters Calibrating thermostats Educating clients about system maintenance 2:00 PM – Furnace Replacement Consultation In Lafayette, I meet with homeowners to discuss replacing their aging furnace. We review energy-efficient options and explain the installation process. 4:30 PM – Final Service Call The day ends in Longmont with a heater tune-up. As the sun sets over the Front Range, I ensure all paperwork is complete and my van is restocked for tomorrow’s calls. 5:30 PM – Wrap Up Back at headquarters, I submit my service reports and prep for another day of keeping our Boulder County neighbors warm and comfortable. Serving our community across Erie, Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, Longmont, and Niwot is more than just a job – it’s about ensuring comfort and safety for our neighbors. Uncategorized
