A Day in the HVAC Field Working Winter Emergency Calls
17/12/20246:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The winter morning starts early at Sunshine Air Conditioning. After checking the weather forecast and grabbing my thermal coffee mug, I head to the office to get my service assignments for the day.
7:00 AM – First Emergency Call
Winter means heater problems, and today’s first call is a no-heat emergency. I stock my service van with common replacement parts:
- Ignition controls
- Thermocouples
- Limit switches
- Air filters
9:30 AM – Maintenance Visit
Between emergency calls, I complete a scheduled maintenance visit. These preventive checks are crucial for catching issues before they become major problems. Today’s inspection includes:
- Heat exchanger examination
- Thermostat calibration
- System efficiency testing
12:00 PM – Quick Lunch Break
A quick sandwich in the van while updating service records. Winter is our busiest season at Sunshine Air Conditioning, so breaks are brief.
2:00 PM – Technical Challenge
The afternoon brings a complex diagnosis of a dual-fuel system. These hybrid heating systems require extensive knowledge of both gas furnaces and heat pumps.
5:00 PM – Final Service Call
As daylight fades, I complete my last scheduled call. Before heading back, I ensure my van is restocked for tomorrow’s adventures in residential comfort solutions.
