A Day in the Life of an HVAC Professional: Keeping Central Florida Comfortable


Early Morning: The Day Begins

My day at Mills Air starts before the sun rises over Orlando. After checking my work tablet for the day’s scheduled service calls, I load up my service van with the essential parts and tools we might need for the day’s heating repairs and installations.

Morning Calls

First stop: College Park, where a family’s heating system decided to quit during one of Florida’s occasional cold snaps. These early morning calls are crucial, especially for homes with elderly residents or young children. While Florida isn’t known for harsh winters, our overnight temperatures can dip low enough to make a functioning heater essential.

Midday Operations

By lunch, I’m in Winter Park performing a routine furnace inspection. These preventative maintenance checks are vital for:
• Ensuring system efficiency
• Preventing unexpected breakdowns
• Extending equipment lifespan
• Maintaining indoor air quality

Afternoon Activities

The afternoon takes me to Altamonte Springs for a furnace replacement consultation. Despite our mild climate, many homeowners are upgrading to more energy-efficient heating systems to save on utility bills during those chilly Florida nights.

Evening Wrap-up

Before heading back to headquarters in Casselberry, I complete a heater installation in Longwood. Each installation requires careful attention to detail and thorough testing to ensure everything works perfectly.

End of Day

Back at the office, I complete my service reports and prepare for tomorrow. Working at Mills Air means being ready for anything – from emergency repairs to complete system installations – always with the goal of keeping Central Florida residents comfortable year-round.

Remember, while we may be in the Sunshine State, maintaining efficient heating systems is just as important as keeping cool during our famous summers.
