Early Morning Preparations
The day starts early at 6:00 AM when I check my work tablet for the day’s heating service appointments across the southwestern Chicago suburbs. With winter temperatures dropping below freezing, our schedule is packed with urgent calls from New Lenox to Tinley Park.
First Call – Emergency Furnace Repair
My first stop is in Joliet, where a family woke up to a cold house. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a failed ignitor – a common issue during peak heating season. Within an hour, their system is running smoothly again, and I can feel the warmth returning to their home.
Mid-Morning Installation
By 9:30 AM, I’m in Frankfort for a scheduled furnace replacement. These jobs require precision and typically take several hours. Our team always ensures proper sizing and installation to maximize efficiency and comfort for our customers.
Afternoon Service Calls
The afternoon includes:
– Routine maintenance in Mokena
– Heating system inspection for a new homeowner in New Lenox
– Emergency repair call in Tinley Park
End of Day
Before heading back to base, I complete my service documentation and prepare the van for tomorrow. Every day brings different challenges, but ensuring our neighbors stay warm during Illinois winters makes it all worthwhile.
