Early Morning Callout
The day started with a early morning call from a frantic homeowner whose air conditioner had stopped working overnight. As the summer heat was already building, I quickly gathered my tools and headed out to diagnose the issue.
Troubleshooting and Repair
Upon arrival, I performed a thorough inspection of the system, checking the thermostat, electrical connections, and refrigerant levels. It turned out to be a failed compressor, which required replacement. Fortunately, I had the necessary parts in my van, and within a couple of hours, I had the new compressor installed and the system up and running again, much to the relief of the grateful homeowner.
Preventative Maintenance
- Next on the agenda was a routine maintenance visit for a commercial client in the College Park area.
- I cleaned the condenser coils, checked the ductwork for leaks, and replaced the air filters.
- These regular tune-ups help extend the lifespan of HVAC systems and ensure they run efficiently, saving energy costs for the business.
New Installation
In the afternoon, I headed to a residential site in Winter Park to install a new high-efficiency air conditioning system. This involved carefully sizing the equipment, running new refrigerant lines, and integrating the outdoor and indoor units. After a successful installation and commissioning, the homeowners were thrilled with the improved cooling performance and energy savings.
Office Wrap-Up
Back at the office in Altamonte Springs, I completed paperwork, ordered any necessary parts for upcoming jobs, and discussed the next day’s schedule with my colleagues. Being an HVAC technician is a demanding but rewarding job, knowing that I’m helping keep homes and businesses comfortable and energy-efficient throughout the hot Florida summers.
