Morning: Gearing Up for the Day
My day at Milwaukie Heating & Cooling starts bright and early at 7 AM. I arrive at the office, grab a quick cup of coffee, and check the schedule for the day. Today, I’m assigned to two air conditioning installations and one routine maintenance call.
First Stop: New AC Installation
By 8 AM, I’m on the road to our first customer’s home. They’ve decided to upgrade their old system to a more energy-efficient model. Here’s what the installation process typically involves:
- Removing the old unit
- Installing the new outdoor condenser
- Connecting refrigerant lines
- Setting up the indoor air handler
- Testing the system
It takes about four hours to complete the installation, ensuring everything is working perfectly.
Lunch Break
Around noon, I take a quick lunch break. It’s a great time to recharge and prepare for the afternoon ahead.
Afternoon: Maintenance Call
After lunch, I head to a routine maintenance call. These check-ups are crucial for keeping AC systems running efficiently. I clean the filters, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.
Final Installation of the Day
My last job is another AC installation. This time, it’s for a new construction home. The process is similar to the morning installation but requires coordination with other contractors on-site.
Wrapping Up
I finish the day by completing paperwork for each job and ensuring my van is stocked for tomorrow. Working at Milwaukie Heating & Cooling means every day is different, but always rewarding. We take pride in providing top-notch HVAC services to our community.
As I head home, I reflect on the satisfaction of helping customers stay comfortable in their homes. It’s been a productive day, and I’m looking forward to what tomorrow brings in the world of heating and cooling!
