A Day of Keeping Lincoln Warm – Life as a HVAC Service Professional


6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

The morning starts early at Harley’s Heating & Air. After my essential morning coffee, I review the day’s service calls. Winter in Lincoln, NE means our schedule is packed with furnace repairs and heating emergencies.

7:30 AM – First Call

Our first stop is an older home in the Meadowlane area. The homeowner reported their furnace making unusual noises. These early morning calls are crucial – nobody wants to wake up to a cold house when it’s below freezing outside.

10:00 AM – Scheduled Maintenance

The mid-morning involves a routine furnace service check. Preventative maintenance is vital for keeping heating systems running efficiently through Nebraska’s harsh winters. I thoroughly inspect:

  • Heat exchanger condition
  • Burner operation
  • Blower motor performance
  • Filter replacement needs
  • Safety controls

1:00 PM – Heater Installation

After lunch, it’s time for a complete furnace replacement. The homeowners chose to upgrade their 20-year-old system with a new energy-efficient model. These installations typically take several hours but provide immense satisfaction when families experience the comfort of their new heating system.

4:30 PM – Emergency Call

Just before heading back, we receive an urgent call about a furnace failure. This is common during peak winter months, and we pride ourselves on quick response times for emergency heating repair situations.

6:00 PM – Wrapping Up

Back at the shop, I complete paperwork, restock my truck, and prepare for tomorrow. Every day brings different challenges, but keeping Lincoln’s residents warm during winter makes it all worthwhile.

Remember, regular maintenance prevents most heating emergencies. Schedule your furnace check-up with Harley’s Heating & Air before the next cold snap hits Lincoln!
