Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Westland, Michigan, I’m already up and preparing for another day as an air conditioning technician at Kelley Brothers. The summer heat is in full swing, and I know it’s going to be a busy day helping our neighbors stay cool and comfortable.
6:30 AM: Morning Briefing
I arrive at the office, grab a quick coffee, and join my fellow technicians for our daily briefing. We review the day’s schedule, discussing:
- Routine AC service appointments
- Emergency repair calls
- Parts inventory
- Safety reminders
8:00 AM: First Call in Garden City
My first stop is a home in Garden City where the homeowner reported their AC unit isn’t cooling properly. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the homeowner and get to work repairing the leak and recharging the system.
11:30 AM: Lunch Break in Livonia
I grab a quick lunch at a local deli in Livonia before heading to my next appointment. It’s a great opportunity to recharge and prepare for the afternoon ahead.
1:00 PM: AC Installation in Redford
The afternoon takes me to Redford, where I’m part of a team installing a new air conditioning system for a family. It’s satisfying work, knowing we’re providing long-term comfort for our customers.
4:30 PM: Emergency Call in Dearborn Heights
Just as I’m wrapping up in Redford, I receive an emergency call from Dearborn Heights. An elderly couple’s AC has completely stopped working during a heatwave. I rush over to diagnose and repair the issue, ensuring they’re not left sweltering in the summer heat.
7:00 PM: Wrapping Up in Inkster
My final stop of the day is a routine maintenance check in Inkster. Even though it’s been a long day, I make sure to give this appointment my full attention, knowing that preventative care can save homeowners from future headaches.
8:30 PM: Back to Base
I return to the Kelley Brothers office to complete my paperwork, restock my truck, and prepare for another day of keeping our community cool and comfortable.
As I head home, I feel a sense of pride in the work we do at Kelley Brothers.
