A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at Lea Heating & AC
Morning: Gearing Up for the Day
My day at Lea Heating & AC starts bright and early at 7 AM. After a quick coffee, I check my schedule for the day’s appointments and load up my service van with the necessary tools and parts. Today, I’m headed to Algonquin, IL, for an AC repair job, followed by an air conditioning installation in Elgin.
Mid-Morning: Troubleshooting in Algonquin
By 8:30 AM, I arrive at my first client’s home in Algonquin. The homeowner reports that their air conditioner isn’t cooling properly. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the issue to the client and proceed with the necessary repairs, ensuring their AC is back to peak performance.
Lunchtime: A Quick Break
Around noon, I grab a quick lunch in my van while driving to my next appointment in Elgin. I use this time to check in with the office and confirm my afternoon schedule.
Afternoon: Installation Project in Elgin
The afternoon is dedicated to a new air conditioning installation for a family in Elgin. This job requires precision and attention to detail. I work diligently to ensure the new system is properly installed, explaining the features and maintenance requirements to the homeowners.
Late Afternoon: Emergency Call in Carpentersville
Just as I’m wrapping up in Elgin, I receive an emergency call from a client in Carpentersville experiencing complete AC failure during a heatwave. I quickly head over to assess the situation and provide a temporary fix to keep them cool until we can schedule a full repair.
Evening: Wrapping Up
Before heading home, I make a stop at our Lea Heating & AC office to restock supplies and file my daily report. I also prepare for the next day’s appointments, which include AC service calls in Hoffman Estates and Sleepy Hollow.
