Rise and Shine: The Early Morning Start
As an employee at S & S Mechanical Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, my day typically begins at 6:30 AM. I grab my coffee, check my schedule, and ensure my service van is fully stocked with tools and parts. Today’s agenda includes an air conditioning installation in St. George and a couple of AC repair calls in Washington, UT.
First Stop: AC Installation in St. George
By 8:00 AM, I arrive at a residential property in St. George for a new AC installation. The homeowners are eager to beat the summer heat. I carefully remove the old unit, prepare the area, and begin installing the new system. This process involves:
- Setting up the outdoor condenser unit
- Installing the indoor air handler
- Connecting refrigerant lines
- Wiring the electrical components
- Testing the system for optimal performance
After a few hours of meticulous work, the new AC is up and running, much to the delight of the homeowners.
Lunchtime Pit Stop
Around noon, I take a quick break to grab lunch and refuel for the afternoon. I use this time to check in with dispatch and confirm my next appointments.
Afternoon: AC Repairs in Washington, UT
My first repair call is for a unit that’s not cooling properly. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I patch the leak, recharge the system, and provide the homeowner with tips on maintaining their AC for better efficiency.
The second repair is a bit trickier – a faulty compressor. I explain the situation to the homeowners and provide them with options. They decide to replace the compressor, so I schedule a follow-up appointment for the next day.
Wrapping Up: Back to Base
As the day winds down, I head back to the S & S Mechanical shop in Cedar City. I restock my van, complete paperwork for the day’s jobs, and discuss tomorrow’s schedule with my supervisor.
Continuous Learning
Before heading home, I spend some time reviewing the latest HVAC technologies and techniques. In this industry, staying updated is crucial to providing the best service to our clients across St. George, Cedar City, Washington, Santa Clara, and Ivins.
Working at S & S Mechanical Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is more than just a job – it’s about ensuring comfort for our community, one home at a time.
