5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
The day starts early in the heating and cooling business, especially during the winter months in Southern Utah. After a quick coffee and checking my service schedule, I load up my truck with essential parts and tools.
7:00 AM – First Emergency Call
A family in Santa Clara wakes up to a freezing house. Their furnace stopped working overnight, and with temperatures dropping below freezing, it’s crucial to get their heating system back up and running quickly. After diagnosing a faulty ignitor and replacing it, warm air starts flowing again, bringing relief to the grateful homeowners.
10:00 AM – Scheduled Maintenance
The rest of the morning involves preventive maintenance visits in St. George, including:
– Filter replacements
– System inspections
– Cleaning heating components
– Testing safety controls
1:00 PM – New Installation
After lunch, I head to Washington for a new heater installation. These jobs are particularly satisfying because you’re providing a long-term solution for comfortable living. While more complex, the transformation from an old, inefficient system to a modern unit makes it worthwhile.
4:00 PM – Final Service Calls
The day typically winds down with a couple more service calls in Cedar City. Today includes:
– A heating system tune-up
– Thermostat programming assistance
– Air quality check
6:00 PM – Wrapping Up
Before heading home, I complete my service reports and prepare the truck for tomorrow. In this industry, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable through all seasons.
Being a heating and cooling professional means being ready for anything, from emergency repairs to routine maintenance. It’s rewarding work knowing we help keep our neighbors warm during those cold Utah winters.
