Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Redmond, WA, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day with All Climate Heating & Air Conditioning. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been working as an HVAC technician for over a decade. Today, I’ll take you through a typical day in my life, showcasing the variety and challenges that come with keeping our community comfortable.
6:30 AM: The Early Bird Gets the Wrench
My day starts early. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I head to our local office in Redmond. Here, I check my schedule and gather any necessary supplies for the day’s jobs.
8:00 AM: First Call – AC Service in Kirkland
Our first stop is a residential AC service call in Kirkland. The homeowner reported strange noises coming from their unit. After a thorough inspection, I discover a loose fan belt. A quick adjustment and some lubrication solve the problem, much to the client’s relief.
10:30 AM: HVAC Installation in Bellevue
Next up is a big job – a full HVAC installation for a new construction in Bellevue. This takes up a significant portion of my day, involving:
- Carefully placing the outdoor unit
- Installing ductwork throughout the house
- Setting up the indoor air handler
- Connecting and testing the system
3:00 PM: Emergency AC Repair in Mountlake Terrace
Just as we’re wrapping up in Bellevue, we get an urgent call for AC repair in Mountlake Terrace. A family’s air conditioner has completely shut down on one of the hottest days of the year. We rush over, diagnose a faulty capacitor, and quickly replace it, restoring cool air to grateful homeowners.
5:30 PM: Wrapping Up in Lynnwood
Our final stop of the day is a routine maintenance check in Lynnwood. These preventative service calls are crucial for keeping systems running efficiently and catching potential issues before they become major problems.
7:00 PM: Back to Base
After a long but satisfying day, I return to our Redmond office to file my reports and prepare for tomorrow. Whether it’s AC installation in Edmonds or emergency repairs in Kirkland, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable.
Working for All Climate Heating & Air Conditioning isn’t just a job – it’s a commitment to keeping our neighbors cool in summer and warm in winter, one home at a time.
