Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in North Canton, Ohio, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day with Custom Comfort Systems. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been working as an HVAC technician for the past five years. Today’s schedule is packed with a mix of installations and service calls across our service area.
7:00 AM: Morning Briefing
I arrive at our headquarters, grab a coffee, and join my colleagues for our daily briefing. We discuss the day’s assignments, any potential challenges, and share tips on recent installations or tricky repairs. Today, I’m headed to Columbiana for an air conditioning installation, followed by a couple of AC service calls in Akron.
8:30 AM: On the Road
With my truck loaded with tools and equipment, I hit the road. The drive to Columbiana gives me time to mentally prepare for the installation ahead. I review the customer’s needs and the specifics of the system we’ll be putting in.
9:30 AM: AC Installation Begins
I arrive at the client’s home and begin the installation process. This involves:
- Removing the old unit
- Preparing the area for the new system
- Installing the new air conditioner
- Connecting and testing all components
It’s satisfying work, knowing that I’m helping a family stay comfortable during the hot Ohio summers.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break and Travel
With the installation complete, I grab a quick lunch and head towards Akron for my afternoon service calls.
2:30 PM: AC Service in Akron
My first stop in Akron is for a routine air conditioner service. I perform a thorough check of the system, clean necessary components, and ensure everything is running efficiently.
4:00 PM: Emergency Repair
The last call of the day is an emergency repair. The homeowner’s AC has stopped working on one of the hottest days of the year. I diagnose the issue – a faulty capacitor – and quickly replace it, much to the relief of the grateful homeowner.
6:00 PM: Wrapping Up
As I head back to North Canton, I reflect on another successful day of keeping Ohio cool. Whether it’s installing new systems in Massillon or providing plumbing services in Canton, every day brings new challenges and rewards.
Working for Custom Comfort Systems isn’t just a job – it’s a commitment to ensuring the comfort of our communities across North Canton, Columbiana, Akron, Canton, Massillon, and Boardman. As I pull into my driveway, I’m already looking forward to what tomorrow will bring in the world of HVAC and plumbing services.
