Keeping Cool in Forestbrook, SC: A Day in the Life of a Conway Air Conditioning Technician
Good morning from Conway Air Conditioning! I’m Mike, one of the HVAC technicians serving the Forestbrook area and surrounding communities. Today, I thought I’d share what a typical day looks like for those of us working to keep your homes comfortable year-round.
6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
My day starts early. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I check my work orders for the day. Today’s schedule includes two furnace replacement consultations and a heater installation in Forestbrook.
7:30 AM – Morning Preparation
I arrive at our warehouse to stock my truck with the necessary tools and parts. Working in HVAC means being prepared for anything, so I always make sure I have:
- Full set of hand tools
- Testing equipment
- Common replacement parts
- Safety gear
- Paperwork for new installations
8:30 AM – First Consultation
My first stop is at a 15-year-old home in Forestbrook where the owners are considering a furnace replacement. The existing unit is showing its age with increasing repair costs and declining efficiency. I perform a thorough inspection, measuring the space and discussing options that would best suit their needs and budget.
10:30 AM – Second Consultation
The next appointment is with a family who recently moved to the area. Their current heating system isn’t adequate for our occasional cold snaps. I explain the benefits of modern energy-efficient heating systems and help them understand what size and type would work best for their home.
12:00 PM – Lunch Break
I take a quick lunch in my truck while updating my paperwork and confirming my afternoon installation appointment.
1:00 PM – Heater Installation
The main event of my day is a complete heater installation for a family in eastern Forestbrook. This job will take most of the afternoon and involves:
- Removing the old unit
- Preparing the area for the new system
- Installing the new heater
- Connecting and testing all components
- Ensuring everything is up to code
- Demonstrating the new system to the homeowners
5:00 PM – Wrapping Up
After completing the installation and ensuring the family is comfortable with their new system, I clean up the work area, making sure it looks as good or better than when I arrived. I complete all the necessary paperwork, get a signature from the satisfied customer, and head back to the office.
6:00 PM – End of Day
Back at Conway Air Conditioning headquarters, I restock my truck for tomorrow, submit my paperwork, and brief my manager on the day’s work. We discuss any follow-ups needed and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule.
What Makes It All Worthwhile
The best part of my job isn’t just fixing heating and cooling systems; it’s knowing I’ve made someone’s home more comfortable and energy-efficient. When temperatures drop in Forestbrook, there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing the families I’ve helped will stay warm and cozy thanks to their properly installed heating systems.
If you’re considering a furnace replacement or heater installation in Forestbrook, SC, know that our team at Conway Air Conditioning approaches each job with the same care and attention to detail as if we were working in our own homes.
Until next time, stay comfortable!
