A Winter Morning Rush of HVAC Emergency Calls in Central Florida


6:00 AM – Starting Early

The day begins before sunrise as I check my service schedule at Mills Air. Even in Florida, winter mornings can be surprisingly chilly, and today’s forecast shows temperatures dropping into the low 40s. I know we’ll be getting calls from concerned homeowners across Orlando and the surrounding areas.

7:30 AM – First Call of the Day

My first stop is in Winter Park, where a family woke up to a completely cold house. After a thorough inspection, I identify a failed ignitor in their furnace – a common issue during the season’s first cold snap. It’s a relatively quick fix, and the relief on the homeowner’s face when warm air starts flowing again makes my early start worthwhile.

10:00 AM – Emergency in College Park

Between scheduled maintenance visits, we get an urgent call from College Park. An elderly resident’s heating system is making concerning noises. These situations take priority, especially when they involve seniors during cold snaps. The diagnosis reveals a worn-out blower motor that needs immediate replacement.

12:30 PM – Lunch Break and Planning

Quick lunch in Altamonte Springs while reviewing afternoon appointments. The dispatch team has organized my route efficiently:
• Heating maintenance in Casselberry
• Furnace inspection in Longwood
• Heater installation consultation in Orlando

4:00 PM – Final Calls

The day wraps up with preventive maintenance visits. I love educating homeowners about:
• Regular filter changes
• Annual maintenance importance
• Energy-saving tips
• Warning signs of failing systems

6:00 PM – Day’s End

As I complete my final service call in Longwood, I reflect on how every day brings unique challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable. Tomorrow will bring new calls, new challenges, and new chances to provide the quality service Mills Air is known for throughout Central Florida.

Remember, preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. Schedule your heating system check-up before the next cold front arrives!
