Morning Routine
I start my day bright and early, fueled by a steaming cup of aromatic coffee. As an HVAC technician for Katham Industries, my job is to ensure that homes and businesses in River Edge, Leonia, and Haworth stay comfortable all year round.
First Stop: River Edge
My first appointment is a routine air conditioner maintenance call in River Edge. The homeowner has been diligent about scheduling annual tune-ups, which helps extend the life of their system and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
- Check refrigerant levels
- Clean condenser coils
- Inspect electrical connections
- Test thermostat calibration
With a few tweaks and adjustments, their AC unit is ready to keep them cool throughout the summer months.
Lunch Break
After a busy morning, I take a well-deserved lunch break at a local deli in Leonia. Nothing beats a good sandwich and a chance to recharge before tackling the afternoon appointments.
Afternoon Calls
The next stop is a commercial building in Haworth, where the rooftop HVAC unit needs some attention. These systems are workhorses, but regular maintenance is crucial to keep them running efficiently.
- Replace air filters
- Check blower motors
- Inspect ductwork for leaks
- Calibrate thermostats and controls
By the end of the day, I’ve helped multiple clients in the area stay comfortable and energy-efficient. It’s a fulfilling job, knowing that my work contributes to the well-being of our community.
