Rise and Shine: Starting the Day Right
As an HVAC technician at S & S Mechanical Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, my day begins early. I’m up at 6 AM, grabbing a quick breakfast and checking my schedule for the day. Today, I’ve got a mix of AC repairs and installations lined up across St. George, UT, and the surrounding areas.
First Call: Emergency AC Repair
My first stop is an emergency call in Cedar City, UT. A family’s air conditioner has completely shut down during a heatwave. I arrive at 8 AM, ready to diagnose and fix the issue. After a thorough inspection, I discover a faulty compressor. I explain the situation to the homeowners and get to work replacing the component.
Midday: Air Conditioning Installation
After wrapping up the repair, I head to Washington, UT, for a scheduled air conditioning installation. This job takes up most of my afternoon as I carefully:
- Remove the old unit
- Install the new system
- Connect and test all components
- Explain the new system’s features to the homeowner
Afternoon: Routine AC Service
My last appointment of the day is in Santa Clara, UT, for a routine AC service. These preventive maintenance calls are crucial for keeping systems running efficiently. I clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all parts are functioning correctly.
Wrapping Up: Back to Base
As the day winds down, I head back to our office in St. George, UT. I complete my paperwork, restock my truck with necessary parts and tools, and brief my supervisor on the day’s activities. It’s been a busy but satisfying day, knowing I’ve helped keep our customers cool and comfortable in the Utah heat.
Working for S & S Mechanical allows me to serve communities across Southern Utah, from Ivins to Cedar City. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to put my skills to use, ensuring our clients have reliable heating and cooling systems year-round.
