Early Morning Preparations
The day starts before sunrise at 6:00 AM. After a strong cup of coffee, I check my service schedule for the day across our service areas in Northwest Indiana and Illinois. Today’s route includes stops in Schererville and Munster, where several homeowners are experiencing heating issues during this cold snap.
First Call: Emergency Furnace Service
7:30 AM brings our first call – a family in Lansing dealing with a malfunctioning furnace. These situations require immediate attention, especially during winter months. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a faulty ignitor and replace it promptly, restoring heat to their home.
Mid-Morning: Routine Maintenance
The late morning involves scheduled maintenance visits in Dyer and St. John, including:
– Inspecting heat exchangers
– Cleaning burners
– Checking electrical connections
– Testing safety controls
– Calibrating thermostats
Afternoon: New Installation Project
After lunch, I head to Griffith for a complete furnace installation. This is always a rewarding part of the job – helping homeowners upgrade to more efficient heating systems that will serve them reliably for years to come.
End of Day: Documentation and Planning
As the sun sets, I complete my service reports and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule. Every day brings different challenges, but ensuring our community stays warm and comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
Remember: regular maintenance is key to preventing emergency repairs and extending the life of your heating system.
