A Day in the Life of a Northern Colorado HVAC Service Technician
Morning Preparations – 6:30 AM
The day starts early at Northern Colorado as we prepare for a full schedule of heating service calls. After checking my local forecast to anticipate working conditions, I load up the service van with essential parts and equipment.
First Call – 8:00 AM
My first stop is in Fort Collins, where a family’s furnace stopped working overnight. Winter mornings in Colorado can be brutally cold, so these emergency calls take priority. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a failed igniter – a common issue that we can fix on the spot.
Mid-Morning – 10:30 AM
Heading to Loveland for a scheduled furnace replacement. These installations typically take several hours, requiring precise measurements and careful attention to local building codes. We pride ourselves on doing the job right the first time.
Afternoon Service – 2:00 PM
After lunch, I’m in Windsor for routine maintenance calls. Regular maintenance includes:
- Checking heat exchangers
- Testing safety controls
- Cleaning or replacing filters
- Inspecting electrical connections
- Lubricating moving parts
Late Afternoon – 4:30 PM
The day wraps up with a heating service call in Timnath. A homeowner needs their annual inspection before winter hits full force. These preventive checks help avoid emergency calls during the coldest days.
End of Day – 6:00 PM
Back at the shop, I complete paperwork, restock the van, and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule. Every day brings different challenges, but helping our neighbors stay warm during Colorado winters makes it all worthwhile.
Remember: Regular maintenance is key to avoiding heating emergencies. Schedule your furnace check-up before the cold season hits full force!
