Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine
My day as a technician at Highlands Quality Climate Control starts bright and early. After a quick breakfast and some strong coffee, I’m out the door by 7 AM, ready to tackle whatever HVAC and plumbing challenges await.
First Call: Emergency Furnace Repair
Today’s first appointment is an urgent call from a family whose furnace stopped working overnight. Colorado winters can be brutal, so this is a top priority. I arrive at their home, diagnose the issue (a faulty ignitor), and have their heating system up and running within an hour. The relief on their faces reminds me why I love this job.
Mid-Morning: Routine Maintenance
Next up is a scheduled maintenance visit for a local business. Regular check-ups are crucial for:
- Ensuring optimal system performance
- Identifying potential issues before they become major problems
- Improving energy efficiency
- Extending the lifespan of HVAC equipment
I thoroughly inspect their system, clean the necessary components, and provide the business owner with some energy-saving tips.
Lunch Break: Refuel and Recharge
Around noon, I take a quick break to grab lunch and review my afternoon schedule. I also use this time to check in with our dispatch team about any new emergency calls that might need attention.
Afternoon: Plumbing Expertise in Action
The second half of my day focuses on plumbing tasks. I head to a residential property to install a new water heater and fix a leaky faucet. These jobs require precision and attention to detail, but the satisfaction of solving problems and improving our clients’ quality of life makes it all worthwhile.
End of Day: Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead
As the workday comes to a close, I ensure all my paperwork is in order and my vehicle is restocked for tomorrow. Before heading home, I touch base with my supervisor to discuss any challenging cases or interesting solutions I encountered during the day.
Working at Highlands Quality Climate Control isn’t just a job – it’s a commitment to keeping our community comfortable and safe. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
