Rise and Shine
My day at D & K Heating & Cooling starts bright and early at 6:30 AM. After a quick breakfast and some strong coffee, I’m out the door by 7:15, ready to tackle whatever HVAC challenges await me in the Omaha metro area.
Morning Calls
8:00 AM: My first stop is a residential call in La Vista. The homeowner’s air conditioner isn’t cooling properly, a common issue as we head into the warmer months. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the client and get to work on the repair.
10:30 AM: Next up is a routine maintenance check for a commercial client in Papillion. Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping AC systems running efficiently, especially for businesses that rely on climate control for customer comfort.
Lunch Break
12:15 PM: I grab a quick lunch at a local deli, using the time to check my schedule for the afternoon and respond to any urgent messages from dispatch.
Afternoon Adventures
1:00 PM: Back on the road, I head to central Omaha for an AC installation consultation. The homeowner is interested in upgrading their old system to a more energy-efficient model. I walk them through their options, discussing the benefits of each and providing a cost estimate.
3:30 PM: My final scheduled call of the day is in Bellevue, where a family’s AC has completely stopped working. After diagnosing the issue as a faulty compressor, I explain the repair process and get their approval to proceed.
Wrapping Up
6:00 PM: With all scheduled calls completed, I head back to the D & K Heating & Cooling office to submit my daily reports and restock my truck for tomorrow’s adventures.
Every day as an HVAC technician brings new challenges and opportunities to help people stay comfortable in their homes and businesses. It’s a rewarding career that keeps me on my toes and allows me to make a real difference in our community.
