5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
The day starts early in the heating and cooling business. After grabbing my morning coffee, I check the day’s schedule on my tablet. Winter in Oregon means our heating service calls are frequent, especially in communities like Beaverton and Tigard.
7:00 AM – First Call of the Day
My first stop is in Tualatin, where a family’s furnace isn’t producing enough heat. These early morning calls are crucial – nobody wants to wake up to a cold house. After a thorough inspection, I find and repair a faulty ignition system.
10:30 AM – Furnace Replacement Consultation
Heading to Hillsboro for a consultation with homeowners looking to upgrade their aging heating system. I explain their options, efficiency ratings, and potential energy savings. Education is a big part of our job – helping customers make informed decisions about their home comfort systems.
1:00 PM – Emergency Call
A quick lunch break gets interrupted by an urgent call from Sherwood. An elderly resident’s heater stopped working completely. These situations take priority – we never want our community members left in the cold.
3:30 PM – Maintenance Work
The afternoon involves preventive maintenance in Aloha. Regular service helps prevent those middle-of-the-night emergency calls and extends system life. I:
– Clean and check all components
– Test safety systems
– Replace filters
– Calibrate thermostats
– Document everything for the customer’s records
5:00 PM – Wrapping Up
Before heading home, I complete paperwork, restock my truck, and review tomorrow’s schedule. Every day brings different challenges, but helping keep our Oregon neighbors comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
It’s rewarding work, knowing that every furnace repair and heating system installation contributes to the comfort and safety of our local communities. Whether it’s a crisp morning in Beaverton or a chilly evening in Tigard, we’re always ready to help maintain the warmth that makes a house feel like home.
