Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun rises over the beautiful city of Jacksonville, my day at Hammond Heating & Air Conditioning begins. I’m John, a seasoned HVAC technician, and I’m excited to share a typical day in my life with you.
6:30 AM: Morning Preparation
My alarm goes off, and I’m up and ready to face the day. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I check the weather forecast for Jacksonville and surrounding areas. Today’s going to be a scorcher – perfect timing for some AC service calls!
7:30 AM: Arriving at Hammond HQ
I arrive at our office in Jacksonville, FL, where I meet with my team to discuss the day’s schedule. We have a mix of appointments today:
- AC repair in Ponte Vedra Beach
- Air conditioning replacement in Fleming Island
- Routine AC service in Middleburg
- New A/C installation in Macclenny
8:30 AM: First Call – AC Repair in Ponte Vedra Beach
Our first stop is a home in Ponte Vedra Beach. The homeowner reported strange noises coming from their AC unit. After a thorough inspection, I discover a loose fan belt. A quick replacement later, and the AC is purring like a kitten.
11:00 AM: Air Conditioning Replacement in Fleming Island
Next, we head to Fleming Island for a full system replacement. The old unit was on its last legs, and the homeowners decided it was time for an upgrade. We spend the next few hours carefully removing the old system and installing a new, energy-efficient model.
2:30 PM: Lunch Break in Doctors Inlet
A quick stop in Doctors Inlet for lunch and to rehydrate. The Florida heat can be intense, especially when working with HVAC systems all day!
3:15 PM: Routine AC Service in Middleburg
After lunch, we’re off to Middleburg for a routine AC service. Regular maintenance is key to keeping air conditioning systems running smoothly. We clean the filters, check refrigerant levels, and ensure everything is operating at peak efficiency.
5:00 PM: New A/C Installation in Macclenny
Our final stop of the day is in Macclenny for a new A/C installation. The homeowners are excited about their new, state-of-the-art system. We work diligently to ensure everything is installed correctly and explain how to use and maintain the new unit.
7:30 PM: Wrapping Up
As the sun sets, we head back to Hammond HQ in Jacksonville. We debrief on the day’s work, file our reports, and prepare for tomorrow’s adventures in keeping Northeast Florida cool and comfortable.
Working for Hammond Heating & Air Conditioning is more than just a job – it’s about helping our community stay comfortable in the Florida heat. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our neighbors across Jacksonville and beyond. It’s hard work, but the satisfaction of a job well done makes it all worthwhile.
