Early Morning Preparations
My day at Berwyn Western starts before the sun rises. At 6:30 AM, I’m already checking my service schedule and loading up the truck with essential parts and tools. Today’s route includes stops in Downers Grove and Oak Park, with emergency calls potentially coming in throughout the day.
First Call: Furnace Inspection
By 8:00 AM, I’m at my first appointment in Downers Grove. A homeowner reported irregular heating patterns, and winter is approaching fast. These preventative maintenance calls are crucial – they help avoid emergency breakdowns during the coldest months.
Mid-Morning Emergency
While finishing up in Downers Grove, dispatch calls about an urgent AC repair in Elmhurst. A restaurant’s cooling system has failed, and with a lunch rush approaching, it’s critical to get their system back online quickly.
Key Tasks Throughout the Day:
- Diagnostic testing of HVAC systems
- Filter replacements and system cleaning
- Refrigerant level checks
- Thermostat calibration
- Customer education on system maintenance
Afternoon Schedule
The afternoon takes me to Oak Park for a scheduled heating system maintenance, followed by a furnace repair in Naperville. Between calls, I ensure my inventory is stocked and documentation is complete.
End of Day
As the day winds down around 5:00 PM, I return to base to restock supplies and file service reports. Every day brings different challenges, but helping maintain comfortable environments for our customers makes it all worthwhile.
Remember to schedule your seasonal HVAC maintenance to avoid unexpected breakdowns during extreme weather conditions.
