Rise and Shine: The Early Morning Routine
As a technician at Harley’s Heating & Air, my day starts bright and early. By 6:30 AM, I’m up and ready to tackle whatever Lincoln’s unpredictable weather throws our way. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I head to our headquarters to start my shift at 7:30 AM.
Morning Briefing and Dispatch
The day kicks off with a team meeting where we discuss:
- Scheduled installations and repairs
- Emergency calls from the previous night
- Any special equipment or parts needed for the day’s jobs
By 8:00 AM, I’m in my service van, fully stocked and ready to hit the road.
On the Job: Air Conditioning Installation
Today’s main task is a new air conditioning installation for a family in south Lincoln. This involves:
1. Removing the old unit
2. Installing the new system
3. Checking all connections and ductwork
4. Testing the system for optimal performance
It’s satisfying work, knowing we’re helping keep our neighbors comfortable during those scorching Nebraska summers.
Lunch Break and Customer Service
Around noon, I take a quick lunch break. It’s a good time to catch up on messages and return any customer calls. Our commitment to excellent service means always being available to address concerns or schedule urgent repairs.
Afternoon: Maintenance and Repairs
The afternoon is typically filled with maintenance calls and minor repairs. Today, I’m servicing a few furnaces to ensure they’re ready for the upcoming winter months. It’s all part of our proactive approach to HVAC care.
Wrapping Up: Back to Base
As the day winds down, I head back to Harley’s Heating & Air headquarters. Here, I:
– Restock my van for tomorrow
– File paperwork for completed jobs
– Discuss any challenging issues with colleagues
Continuous Learning
Before heading home, I often spend some time reviewing the latest HVAC technologies and techniques. In this industry, staying updated is crucial to providing the best service possible.
Working at Harley’s Heating & Air isn’t just a job; it’s a commitment to keeping Lincoln comfortable year-round. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community, and that’s what makes this career so rewarding.
