A Day in the Life: Keeping Lincoln Cool with Harley’s Heating & Air
Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine
As a technician at Harley’s Heating & Air, my day starts early. I’m up at 6 AM, grabbing a quick breakfast before heading to our Lincoln office. By 7 AM, I’m reviewing the day’s schedule with my team, checking our inventory of parts, and loading up the service van.
First Call: AC Service
My first appointment is a routine AC service in a residential area. These preventative maintenance calls are crucial for keeping systems running efficiently. I inspect the unit, clean or replace filters, and check refrigerant levels. The homeowner is grateful for the tips I share on maximizing their AC’s performance.
Midday Emergency: AC Repair
Around noon, I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning air conditioner. The Nebraska summer heat is unforgiving, so I head straight to the location. After diagnosing the issue, I explain the necessary repairs to the customer and get to work. Within an hour, cool air is flowing again, and I’m rewarded with a satisfied smile.
Afternoon Project: HVAC Installation
The afternoon is dedicated to a new HVAC installation project. Working with a colleague, we carefully remove the old system and install the new, energy-efficient unit. It’s physically demanding work, but knowing we’re improving the comfort and energy savings for the homeowner makes it worthwhile.
Key Steps in HVAC Installation:
- Removing old equipment
- Installing new ductwork if necessary
- Placing and connecting the new unit
- Testing and calibrating the system
Wrapping Up: Back to Base
As the day winds down, I return to the office to complete paperwork and debrief with the team. We discuss any challenges faced and share tips for improving our service. Before heading home, I ensure my van is restocked and ready for another day of keeping Lincoln cool.
Working at Harley’s Heating & Air is more than just a job – it’s about being a part of the community and helping our neighbors stay comfortable year-round. Whether it’s an AC repair, a routine service, or a full HVAC installation, every day brings new challenges and rewards.
