A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at Harley’s Heating & Air

Morning: Gearing Up for the Day

My day at Harley’s Heating & Air begins bright and early at 7 AM. After a quick cup of coffee, I head to our shop in Lincoln, NE, to review the day’s schedule and load up my service van with the necessary tools and parts. Today’s agenda includes two AC repair calls and an HVAC installation.

First Stop: Emergency AC Repair

By 8:30 AM, I’m at my first location. The homeowner called Harley’s reporting that their air conditioner stopped working overnight. After a thorough inspection, I discover a faulty capacitor. Luckily, I have the replacement part in my van, and within an hour, cool air is flowing once again.

Mid-Morning: Routine AC Service

My next appointment is a routine AC service. These preventative maintenance checks are crucial for:

  • Ensuring optimal system performance
  • Improving energy efficiency
  • Extending the lifespan of the unit
  • Catching potential issues before they become major problems

I clean the condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, and replace the air filter. The homeowner is pleased to learn their system is in great shape.

Afternoon: HVAC Installation Project

After a quick lunch break, I head to a new construction site for an HVAC installation. This is a more extensive job that will take the rest of my day. Working alongside a fellow technician, we carefully install the new system, ensuring all components are properly connected and functioning correctly.

Evening: Wrapping Up

As the sun begins to set, we complete the installation and run final tests. Satisfied with our work, we clean up the site and head back to the shop. I restock my van for tomorrow’s appointments and complete the necessary paperwork for today’s jobs.

Working at Harley’s Heating & Air is always rewarding. Whether it’s providing relief from the summer heat through AC repair or ensuring comfort year-round with quality HVAC installations, I take pride in helping our Lincoln, NE community stay comfortable in their homes and businesses.
