A Winter Day in the Life of a HVAC Service Professional


5:30 AM – Rise and Shine

The day begins early at CAC Mechanical Services. As I gulp down my morning coffee, I review the day’s service calls across Salem, Pelham, and Windham, NH, plus our Massachusetts service area in Methuen.

6:45 AM – First Emergency Call

Winter mornings are our busiest time. Today starts with an urgent furnace repair in Salem, NH. A family woke up to a cold house – a situation we take seriously. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a faulty igniter and quickly replace it.

9:30 AM – Scheduled Maintenance

Next up is routine furnace service in Pelham. Preventative maintenance includes:

  • Filter inspection and replacement
  • Checking electrical connections
  • Testing safety controls
  • Cleaning burners
  • Inspecting heat exchanger

1:00 PM – Furnace Replacement Consultation

After lunch, I meet with a Windham homeowner to discuss replacing their aging heating system. We review energy-efficient options and provide detailed estimates. Education is key – we want our customers to make informed decisions about their home comfort systems.

3:30 PM – Emergency Service Call

The afternoon brings an urgent heating repair in Methuen. A commercial client’s heating system is struggling to maintain temperature. After diagnosis, we discover the blower motor needs replacement.

5:00 PM – Wrap Up

Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork and prepare for tomorrow. Another satisfying day helping our community stay warm and comfortable during the cold New England winter.

Remember: Regular maintenance helps prevent emergency repairs and extends system life. Schedule your heating service with CAC Mechanical Services today!
