Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician

As the sun peeks over the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day with Highlands Quality Climate Control. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been working as an HVAC technician for the past seven years. Today, I’ll be tackling various jobs across Derry, Johnstown, and Latrobe.

6:30 AM: Morning Prep

My day starts early with a quick breakfast and a strong cup of coffee. I check my schedule and load up the company van with the necessary tools and parts for the day’s appointments.

8:00 AM: First Call – AC Service in Derry

My first stop is a routine air conditioner service in Derry. The homeowner has been experiencing inconsistent cooling, so I perform a thorough inspection, clean the filters, and check the refrigerant levels. A little TLC goes a long way in preventing future breakdowns.

10:30 AM: Emergency Repair in Johnstown

I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning AC unit in Johnstown. When I arrive, I quickly diagnose the issue as a faulty compressor. After explaining the problem to the homeowner, I get to work replacing the component, restoring cool comfort to their home.

1:00 PM: Lunch Break

I grab a quick lunch at a local deli in Latrobe before heading to my next appointment.

2:00 PM: Air Conditioning Installation in Latrobe

The afternoon is dedicated to installing a new air conditioning system for a family in Latrobe. This job requires precision and teamwork, so I collaborate with a fellow technician to ensure everything is set up correctly and efficiently.

5:30 PM: Final Service Call in Ligonier

My last stop of the day is in Ligonier for a routine HVAC maintenance check. I inspect the system, change filters, and offer the homeowner some tips on improving energy efficiency.

7:00 PM: Wrapping Up

As the sun sets, I head back to the Highlands Quality Climate Control office to complete paperwork and prepare for tomorrow’s adventures in keeping our community comfortable.

Working for Highlands Quality Climate Control is more than just a job – it’s about ensuring our neighbors in Derry, Johnstown, Latrobe, Ligonier, Loyalhanna, and New Derry stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help people, making this career truly rewarding.
