5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
As a service technician at Refrigeration & Electrical Service, my day starts before the Florida sun peeks over the horizon. After my essential morning coffee, I review my schedule of appointments across Lakeland and Winter Haven.
7:00 AM – First Call
My first stop is in Auburndale, where a family’s AC unit isn’t cooling properly. In Florida’s climate, this isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s an emergency. After a thorough inspection, I discover their system needs a refrigerant recharge and clean filters.
10:30 AM – Installation Project
The mid-morning takes me to Haines City for a new AC installation. These jobs require precision and expertise, especially when dealing with:
- Proper unit sizing calculations
- Ductwork inspection
- Electrical connections
- System testing
2:00 PM – Emergency Calls
The afternoon brings emergency service calls in Bartow. During summer months, we prioritize urgent repairs, especially for elderly residents or those with medical conditions.
4:30 PM – Final Service
My last stop is in Eagle Lake for routine maintenance. Preventative care is crucial in extending system life and maintaining efficiency.
6:00 PM – Wrap Up
Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork and prep for tomorrow. Working in HVAC means every day brings new challenges, but helping keep Central Florida comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing costly repairs and ensuring your system runs efficiently through our hot Florida summers.
