Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun rises over Independence, MO, I start my day at McDaniel Furnace & Sheet Metal. Coffee in hand, I review the day’s schedule, packed with AC service calls and installations across the Kansas City metro area.
7:30 AM: First Stop – AC Repair in Blue Springs
Our first call takes us to a residential neighborhood in Blue Springs. The homeowner reported strange noises coming from their air conditioning unit. After a thorough inspection, we discover a loose fan belt. A quick replacement later, and the AC is humming smoothly again.
10:00 AM: Air Conditioning Installation in Liberty
Next, we head to Liberty for a new AC installation. The homeowners decided to upgrade their old system to a more energy-efficient model. It’s a big job, but our team works efficiently to ensure the new unit is properly installed and working perfectly before we leave.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break and Team Check-in
We take a quick break for lunch and touch base with the office. There’s been a call about an emergency AC service in Lee’s Summit, so we adjust our schedule accordingly.
2:00 PM: Emergency Air Conditioner Service in Lee’s Summit
Arriving at the Lee’s Summit residence, we find a family sweltering in the summer heat due to a completely non-functional AC. After diagnosing the issue as a failed compressor, we explain the repair options to the homeowner and get to work restoring their comfort.
4:30 PM: HVAC Installation Consultation in Independence
Our final stop of the day is back in Independence for a consultation on a complete HVAC installation for a new construction project. We discuss the client’s needs, take measurements, and provide recommendations for an efficient system that will keep the building comfortable year-round.
6:00 PM: Wrapping Up the Day
As the workday comes to a close, I return to the McDaniel Furnace & Sheet Metal office to file my reports and prepare for tomorrow. It’s been a busy day, but knowing we’ve helped keep our community comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
