Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine
As a technician at Discount Heating & Cooling, my day starts early. I’m up at 6 AM, grabbing a quick breakfast and checking my schedule for the day. Today, I’ll be visiting homes in Wheeling and Buffalo Grove, IL, for various HVAC services.
First Stop: AC Maintenance in Wheeling
My first appointment is at 8 AM in Wheeling. The homeowner has requested a routine AC maintenance check. I arrive on time, greet the client, and get to work. This involves:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Inspecting and cleaning the condenser coils
- Ensuring proper airflow
After an hour, the AC unit is running smoothly, and the client is satisfied.
Midday: Air Conditioner Replacement in Buffalo Grove
My next stop takes me to Buffalo Grove for an air conditioner replacement. This is a more involved process that requires:
- Removing the old unit
- Installing the new system
- Connecting and testing all components
- Explaining the new system to the homeowner
This job takes up most of my afternoon, but seeing the relief on the client’s face when cool air starts flowing is always rewarding.
Late Afternoon: Emergency AC Repair in Arlington Heights
Just as I’m wrapping up in Buffalo Grove, I get an urgent call about an AC breakdown in Arlington Heights. I quickly head over to assess the situation. After diagnosing the issue, I find that it’s a simple fix – a faulty capacitor. Within an hour, I’ve replaced the part and the system is back up and running.
Wrapping Up: End of Day Duties
As my workday comes to a close, I ensure all my paperwork is in order and my van is restocked for tomorrow. I also take a moment to review tomorrow’s schedule, which includes HVAC maintenance in Palatine and an air conditioning service call in Mt. Prospect.
Working at Discount Heating & Cooling means no two days are alike. Whether I’m in Des Plaines performing routine maintenance or in Palatine for an emergency repair, I’m always ready to help keep our clients comfortable, no matter the weather.
