At Sears Heating and Cooling, our technicians aren’t just experts in HVAC systems; they’re your neighbors, friends, and community members here in Central Ohio. They take pride in delivering exceptional service and ensuring your home stays comfortable year-round. Ever wondered what a typical day looks like for these hardworking pros? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of an HVAC technician.
6:30 AM: The Day Begins
For our technicians, the day starts early. After a quick breakfast and checking their tools, they head to the office to review the day’s schedule. Each day brings a mix of challenges: furnace tune-ups, emergency repairs, or installing a new HVAC system. Every job is different, and our techs thrive on problem-solving.
7:30 AM: First Call – A Furnace Tune-Up
The first stop of the day might be a routine furnace tune-up. Our techs arrive promptly, greet the homeowner, and discuss any concerns they may have. After donning protective gear to keep your home clean, they inspect the furnace for wear and tear, clean components, and ensure it’s running efficiently. This preventative maintenance saves homeowners money and prevents breakdowns during Ohio’s cold winters.
10:00 AM: Diagnosing a Heating Issue
Next, it’s on to an emergency call. A homeowner’s furnace stopped working overnight, and temperatures are dropping. Our technicians’ priority is to restore heat quickly and safely. Using diagnostic tools, they identify the issue—a faulty ignitor in this case—and make the necessary repair. Before leaving, they double-check the system to ensure it’s operating smoothly and explain the fix to the homeowner.
12:00 PM: Lunch Break
Even HVAC techs need a moment to recharge. Whether it’s a packed lunch or grabbing a bite from a local diner, this break provides a chance to connect with coworkers, catch up on news, and prepare for the afternoon’s tasks.
1:00 PM: Installing a New Furnace
Afternoons often involve larger projects, like a furnace installation. Today, the team is replacing an old, inefficient furnace with a new energy-efficient model. They carefully remove the old unit, prepare the space, and install the new system. Attention to detail is key—everything from duct connections to electrical wiring is double-checked to ensure optimal performance.
4:00 PM: Wrapping Up
After completing the installation, the team tests the system and provides the homeowner with a tutorial on using their new thermostat. They leave the workspace spotless and take pride in knowing they’ve improved another home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
5:00 PM: Back to the Office
The day ends with a return to the office to restock the truck, update service logs, and prepare for tomorrow. It’s also a time to share stories from the day—like fixing a furnace just before a snowstorm or helping a family stay warm during a holiday gathering.
Why Our Techs Love What They Do
For the technicians at Sears Heating and Cooling, it’s not just about fixing HVAC systems; it’s about making a difference in their neighbors’ lives.
