A Day in the Shoes of an Energy Services Technician
Morning Routine
The day starts early for an Energy Services employee. As a licensed HVAC technician, I’m up at 6 AM, ready to tackle the day’s challenges. After a quick breakfast, I review my schedule for the day, which typically includes a mix of air conditioning installations, routine maintenance, and emergency calls.
First Stop: AC Installation
My first appointment is a new air conditioning installation for a family who’s been struggling with the summer heat. I arrive at their home by 8 AM, equipped with all the necessary tools and materials. The process involves:
- Assessing the home’s layout
- Determining the right size and type of AC unit
- Installing the outdoor condenser unit
- Setting up the indoor air handler
- Connecting refrigerant lines
It’s a complex job, but the satisfaction of providing comfort to grateful customers makes it all worthwhile.
Afternoon: Maintenance Calls
After lunch, I head out for a series of maintenance appointments. These routine check-ups are crucial for ensuring HVAC systems run efficiently and preventing costly breakdowns. I inspect filters, clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and tune up various components to keep everything running smoothly.
Evening: Emergency Response
Just as I’m wrapping up for the day, I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning heating system. As an Energy Services technician, we pride ourselves on our quick response times. I head to the location, diagnose the issue, and work diligently to restore heat to the grateful homeowners.
Reflection
As I drive home, I reflect on the day’s accomplishments. Working for Energy Services isn’t just a job; it’s a commitment to providing essential comfort and safety to our community. Whether it’s installing a new AC unit or responding to emergency calls, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make a difference in people’s lives.
