6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The morning starts early in this line of work. After my essential breakfast and coffee, I check my Porter Brothers service schedule. Today’s route takes me through White Bluff and Burns, where several customers need heating system inspections.
7:30 AM – First Call
My first stop is a furnace replacement in White Bluff. The homeowners have been dealing with an aging system that’s well past its prime. After assessing the space and consulting with the family, we discuss their options for a new, energy-efficient unit.
10:00 AM – Emergency Call
While heading to my next scheduled appointment, dispatch radios in about an urgent heating repair in Dickson. An elderly couple’s furnace stopped working overnight. These situations remind me why I love this job – helping people stay warm and comfortable when they need it most.
Key Tasks Today:
- Complete furnace replacement installation
- Perform two seasonal maintenance checks
- Respond to emergency heating repair
- Conduct heater installation consultation in Fairview
2:00 PM – Maintenance Rounds
The afternoon takes me through Kingston Springs for routine maintenance calls. It’s rewarding to help homeowners prevent future issues through regular service checks. Many don’t realize that proper maintenance can extend a heating system’s life by years.
4:30 PM – Wrapping Up
Before heading back to base, I complete my final service call in Bon Aqua. As winter approaches, our team at Porter Brothers stays busy ensuring our neighbors throughout Middle Tennessee stay warm and comfortable.
The satisfaction of solving problems and helping our community makes every early morning worth it. Whether it’s a simple maintenance check or a complete system overhaul, each day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our customers better.
