Rise and Shine
My alarm blares at 5:30 AM, and I’m up before the sun. As a technician for Ware’s Heating & Cooling, early mornings are part of the job. I gulp down some coffee, grab a quick breakfast, and head out the door by 6:15.
First Call of the Day
By 7:00 AM, I’m at our first appointment. Mrs. Johnson’s furnace has been acting up, and with winter approaching, it’s crucial to get it fixed. I inspect the system, identify a faulty ignitor, and replace it efficiently. Mrs. Johnson is relieved to have heat again, and I’m glad to start the day on a positive note.
Tackling the Schedule
The rest of the morning flies by with a mix of:
- Routine maintenance checks
- Thermostat installations
- Ductwork inspections
Lunch is a quick sandwich in the van between calls. No time to waste when people are counting on us for their comfort!
Afternoon Challenges
The afternoon brings more complex issues. I’m called to a commercial building where the heating system is on the fritz. It takes some troubleshooting, but I eventually trace the problem to a malfunctioning control board. After replacing it, the system hums back to life, much to the relief of the building manager.
Emergency Call
Just as I’m wrapping up for the day, dispatch radios in with an emergency. A family’s heat has gone out, and temperatures are dropping fast. I head over immediately, diagnose a blown fuse, and have their system up and running in no time. The gratitude on their faces reminds me why I love this job.
Wrapping Up
I finally clock out around 7:00 PM, tired but satisfied. Another day of keeping our community warm and comfortable has come to an end. As I head home, I’m already looking forward to the challenges tomorrow will bring as a proud member of the Ware’s Heating & Cooling team.
