A Typical Day Installing Comfort: Life as a HVAC Professional


Morning Preparations

The day starts early at J&D Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. By 6:30 AM, I’m already at our warehouse, reviewing the schedule and loading up the service van with essential equipment and parts for the day’s installations.

First Call: Furnace Replacement

Today’s primary task involves replacing an aging furnace for a family whose unit stopped working during the recent cold snap. These situations remind me why our work is so crucial – we’re not just installing equipment; we’re restoring comfort to homes.

What We Typically Handle

Our daily responsibilities include:
• Furnace assessments and replacements
• Complete HVAC system installations
• Emergency heating repairs
• Preventive maintenance checks
• Air quality evaluations

Afternoon Tasks

After lunch, we focus on preparing for tomorrow’s heater installation. This involves:
• Measuring spaces
• Calculating proper BTU requirements
• Ensuring all necessary permits are in order
• Coordinating with suppliers

Customer Education

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is educating homeowners about their new systems. We take pride in explaining how to maximize efficiency and maintain their units properly.

End of Day

Before heading home, we ensure all paperwork is complete and the van is restocked for tomorrow’s calls. It’s satisfying knowing that we’ve helped another family stay comfortable in their home.

Working in the HVAC industry requires technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to customer service. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable, regardless of the weather outside.
