A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician: Keeping Redmond Cool and Comfortable

Rise and Shine: The Early Morning Routine

As the sun peeks over the horizon in Redmond, WA, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at All Climate Heating & Air Conditioning. After a quick breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, I review my schedule for the day. Today’s agenda includes an AC installation in Kirkland, a service call in Bellevue, and an emergency repair in Mountlake Terrace.

First Stop: AC Installation in Kirkland

I arrive at the client’s home in Kirkland around 8 AM. The family is excited about their new energy-efficient air conditioning system. Over the next few hours, I:

  • Remove the old unit
  • Install the new AC system
  • Test all connections and controls
  • Explain the system’s operation to the homeowners

By lunchtime, the installation is complete, and the family is already enjoying their cooler home.

Afternoon: AC Service in Bellevue

After a quick lunch break, I head to Bellevue for a routine service call. The homeowner has been diligent about maintenance, which makes my job easier. I perform a thorough check-up, including:

  • Cleaning the condenser coils
  • Checking refrigerant levels
  • Inspecting electrical connections
  • Lubricating moving parts

I’m pleased to report that the system is in excellent condition, and the customer is happy to hear it.

Emergency Call: AC Repair in Mountlake Terrace

Just as I’m wrapping up in Bellevue, I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning air conditioner in Mountlake Terrace. I quickly make my way there, knowing how uncomfortable a home can be without proper cooling.

Upon arrival, I diagnose the issue as a faulty capacitor. Fortunately, I have the necessary parts in my truck, and I’m able to complete the repair efficiently. The relief on the homeowner’s face as cool air starts flowing again is always rewarding.

End of Day: Reflection and Preparation

As the sun sets over Lynnwood and Edmonds, I begin my journey back to the All Climate Heating & Air Conditioning office. I update my service reports, restock my truck for tomorrow’s calls, and reflect on another satisfying day of helping people stay comfortable in their homes.

Before heading home, I check my schedule for tomorrow. It looks like I’ll be spending time in Redmond and Kirkland again, with a mix of installations and repairs. In this industry, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay cool and comfortable.
