Early Morning Preparations
The day begins at 6:30 AM as I prepare for another busy day at Economy Hearth & Home Inc. After checking my work tablet for the day’s service appointments, I ensure my truck is fully stocked with common repair parts and diagnostic equipment.
First Call – Bremerton
7:30 AM: My first customer in Bremerton reports their furnace isn’t producing enough heat. These early morning calls are common during our chilly Pacific Northwest winters. After a thorough inspection, I identify a worn-out blower motor that needs replacement.
Mid-Morning – Silverdale
10:00 AM: Heading to Silverdale for a routine maintenance check. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends system life. I clean the furnace, check connections, and replace the filter while explaining the importance of preventive care to the homeowner.
Afternoon Challenges
Our service area includes:
- Poulsbo
- Meadowdale
- Scandia
- Tracyton
2:00 PM: An emergency call comes in from Poulsbo – no heat during one of our coldest days. These are the moments when our expertise really matters. After diagnosing the issue, I repair a faulty ignition system and restore warmth to a grateful family.
End of Day
5:30 PM: Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork, restock my truck, and prepare for tomorrow. Another satisfying day helping our neighbors stay warm and comfortable in their homes.
Being a heating technician in the Kitsap Peninsula area means adapting to changing weather conditions and various heating systems, but it’s rewarding to know we’re keeping our community comfortable year-round.
