A Day in the Life of an HVAC Tech


Early Morning Prep

The sun has barely peeked over the horizon when my trusty alarm clock jolts me awake. As an HVAC technician at American Home Heating & AC, my days start early and are filled with a variety of challenges. After a quick breakfast, I gather my tools and load up the van, ready to tackle whatever the day has in store.

First Call: Ductless Installation

My first stop is a ductless HVAC installation for a newly renovated home. These systems are becoming increasingly popular for their energy efficiency and zone control capabilities. I carefully measure and plan the installation, ensuring proper placement of the indoor and outdoor units for optimal performance.

  • Mount indoor unit in the living room
  • Run refrigerant lines and electrical wiring
  • Install outdoor condensing unit
  • Test and commission the system

After a few hours of focused work, the homeowners can now enjoy their new ductless system with its whisper-quiet operation and precise temperature control.

Lunch Break and Service Calls

With the morning job complete, I grab a quick lunch and check my schedule for the afternoon service calls. First up is an annual maintenance visit for a residential central air conditioning system. I thoroughly clean and inspect the unit, ensuring it’s running at peak efficiency for the upcoming summer months.

Next, I head to a local business to troubleshoot an HVAC issue. After some diagnostic work, I identify a faulty compressor and provide the customer with a detailed repair estimate.

End of Day and On-Call Duty

As the workday winds down, I complete my paperwork and restock the van for tomorrow’s jobs. Being an HVAC technician is a demanding but rewarding career. No two days are ever the same, and I take pride in providing top-notch service to our customers.

Some nights, I’m on-call for emergency situations, ready to respond to any AC repair needs that may arise. It’s all part of the job, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. After all, ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of our customers is what drives me every single day.
