Rise and Shine: Starting the Day
As a technician at J&D Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., my day begins early. I wake up at 6 AM, grab a quick breakfast, and head to our office in Cape Coral, FL. The morning weather report is crucial for us, as it helps us prepare for the day’s workload.
Morning Briefing and Assignments
At 7:30 AM, we gather for our daily briefing. Our supervisor reviews the schedule, assigning tasks ranging from routine AC service to complex HVAC installations. Today, I’m headed to Fort Myers for an air conditioning installation and then to Bonita Springs for an AC repair.
On the Road: First Stop – Fort Myers
By 8:30 AM, I’m on my way to Fort Myers. The client has purchased a new energy-efficient system, and I’m excited to install it. The process involves:
- Removing the old unit
- Preparing the area for the new system
- Installing the new AC unit
- Testing and calibrating the system
It’s a satisfying job, knowing the homeowner will enjoy improved comfort and energy savings.
Afternoon Service Call: Bonita Springs
After a quick lunch, I head to Bonita Springs for an AC repair. The homeowner reports that their unit isn’t cooling effectively. Through diagnostic tests, I identify a refrigerant leak. I patch the leak, recharge the system, and ensure everything is running smoothly.
Wrapping Up: Back to Base
As the day winds down, I return to our North Fort Myers office. I complete paperwork, restock my truck with necessary parts, and discuss the day’s challenges with colleagues. We often share tips and tricks, continually improving our skills.
Always Learning
Before heading home, I spend some time reviewing the latest HVAC technologies. J&D Heating and Air Conditioning encourages ongoing education, ensuring we’re always at the forefront of the industry.
Whether it’s AC service in Estero or air conditioner maintenance in Villas, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our community. It’s a rewarding career, knowing we help keep Southwest Florida comfortable year-round.
