A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning

Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine

My day at All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning starts bright and early at 6:30 AM. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I’m out the door by 7:15, ready to tackle whatever HVAC challenges await me in the Chicagoland area.

First Call: AC Repair in Skokie

Today’s first appointment is an AC repair in Skokie. The homeowner reported their unit wasn’t cooling properly. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the client and proceed with the necessary repairs.

Midday: HVAC Installation in Bolingbrook

Next up is a new HVAC installation in Bolingbrook. This job takes up a good chunk of the day, as it involves:

  • Removing the old system
  • Installing the new unit
  • Connecting ductwork
  • Testing and calibrating the system

It’s hard work, but seeing the customer’s satisfaction makes it all worthwhile.

Afternoon: Air Conditioner Service in Evanston

After a quick lunch break, I head to Evanston for routine air conditioner service. This involves:

  • Cleaning or replacing filters
  • Checking refrigerant levels
  • Inspecting electrical connections
  • Lubricating moving parts

Preventative maintenance like this helps extend the life of AC units and prevents future breakdowns.

Evening: Emergency AC Service in Morton Grove

Just as I’m wrapping up for the day, an emergency call comes in from Morton Grove. A family’s air conditioner has completely shut down during a heatwave. I rush over to diagnose and fix the issue, which turns out to be a faulty capacitor. The grateful family’s relief is palpable as cool air starts flowing again.

Wrapping Up: Back to Base

After a long but rewarding day, I head back to the All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning office in Chicago. I file my reports, restock my truck, and prepare for another day of keeping Chicagoland cool and comfortable.

Being an HVAC technician is challenging, but the satisfaction of helping people and solving problems makes every day worthwhile at All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning.
