Morning Routine
The day starts early for Tom’s trusty technicians. By 7 AM, they’ve already gathered at the office, checking their schedules and stocking up on the necessary tools and equipment for the day’s assignments. Today’s agenda includes a few HVAC installations in Bedford, VA, as well as a couple of air conditioning repairs in Thaxton.
On the Road
After a quick team huddle, the technicians load up their vans and hit the road. The first stop is a new construction site in Bedford, where they’ll be installing a state-of-the-art central air conditioning system. As they arrive, they’re greeted by the site foreman, who briefs them on the job and any special considerations.
Installation Precision
The team gets to work, meticulously following the installation guidelines. They:
- Properly position the outdoor condensing unit
- Run the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring
- Install the indoor air handler and ductwork
- Connect all components and perform initial testing
After hours of diligent work, the new system is up and running, providing efficient cooling for the entire home.
Repair and Maintenance
Next up is a service call in Thaxton, where a long-time customer is experiencing issues with their room air conditioner. Upon arrival, the technician performs a thorough diagnostic check, identifying a refrigerant leak as the culprit. With the homeowner’s approval, they proceed to repair the leak, evacuate the system, and recharge it with the correct amount of refrigerant.
Before wrapping up, the technician also performs routine maintenance tasks, such as cleaning the coils and checking the airflow, to ensure the unit runs smoothly for the remainder of the cooling season.
Back at the Office
As the day winds down, the team returns to the office to file their service reports and restock any supplies they might need for the next day’s appointments. Despite the long hours and physical demands of the job, there’s a shared sense of satisfaction in knowing they’ve helped keep countless homes and businesses comfortable and energy-efficient.
