A Day in the Trenches: Life as a Duke’s HVAC Technician
Rise and Shine: The Early Bird Gets the Cool Air
As a technician at Duke’s Air Conditioning and Heating, my day starts bright and early. By 6:30 AM, I’m already reviewing the day’s schedule and loading up my service van with the necessary tools and parts. Our commitment to providing dependable HVAC repair and service means we’re always prepared for whatever challenges the day might bring.
Morning Rounds: Residential Calls
My first stop is usually a residential call. Today, it’s Mrs. Johnson’s house, where the AC has been acting up. After a thorough inspection, I discover a faulty capacitor. Luckily, I have the replacement part on hand, and within an hour, Mrs. Johnson’s home is cool and comfortable again.
Midday: Commercial Maintenance
Around noon, I head to a local office building for scheduled maintenance. Regular upkeep is crucial for:
- Ensuring system efficiency
- Preventing unexpected breakdowns
- Extending the lifespan of HVAC equipment
I spend a couple of hours checking filters, cleaning coils, and making sure everything is running smoothly.
Afternoon: Emergency Call
Just as I’m wrapping up the maintenance job, I get an urgent call from dispatch. A restaurant’s walk-in cooler has stopped working, and they need immediate assistance. This is where our promise of dependable service really shines. I rush over, diagnose the issue (a faulty compressor), and get to work on the repair.
Evening: Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead
As the sun sets, I’m finishing up my last call of the day. Back at the office, I complete my paperwork, restock my van, and brief the night shift on any ongoing issues.
Working at Duke’s Air Conditioning and Heating is more than just a job; it’s about ensuring comfort and peace of mind for our community. Whether it’s a scorching summer day or a frigid winter night, we’re always ready to keep our customers comfortable.
