Rise and Shine

As the sun peeks over the horizon in McHenry, IL, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at All Solutions. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been an HVAC technician here for five years. Today’s schedule is packed with AC repairs and installations across the area.

First Stop: Island Lake

After a quick breakfast and coffee, I hop in my service van and head to our first appointment in Island Lake. A family’s air conditioner has been making strange noises, and they’re worried it might give out during the upcoming heatwave. Upon arrival, I discover:

• A loose fan belt causing the noise
• Dirty air filters reducing efficiency
• Low refrigerant levels

I explain the issues to the homeowner and get to work. Within an hour, their AC is running smoothly again.

Midday in Port Barrington

My next job takes me to Port Barrington for an AC installation. The homeowners are upgrading their old unit to a more energy-efficient model. It’s a big job, but with my experience and the right tools, I have it up and running by lunchtime.

Afternoon Calls

The afternoon is a whirlwind of service calls across Wauconda and Lakemoor. From simple maintenance checks to more complex repairs, each job presents its own unique challenges. I love the variety in my work and the satisfaction of solving problems for our customers.

Final Stop: Fox Lake

As the day winds down, I make my last stop in Fox Lake for an emergency AC service call. A family’s air conditioner has completely shut down on one of the hottest days of the year. After a thorough diagnostic, I identify and replace a faulty capacitor, restoring cool air to their grateful household.

Wrapping Up

Back at the All Solutions office, I complete my paperwork and prep my van for tomorrow. It’s been a long day, but knowing I’ve helped keep my community comfortable makes it all worthwhile. As I head home, I’m already looking forward to what new challenges tomorrow will bring in the world of HVAC.
