A Day in the HVAC Trenches: Life at Staab & Sons, Inc.
Rise and Shine: The Early Bird Gets the Warm
My day at Staab & Sons, Inc. starts bright and early at 6:30 AM. As a heating technician, I know that comfort doesn’t wait for the sun to rise. After a quick breakfast and some strong coffee, I’m out the door by 7:15 AM, ready to tackle whatever heating challenges await.
Morning Routine: Gearing Up for Success
First stop: the Staab & Sons headquarters. Here’s what my morning typically involves:
- Checking the day’s schedule and prioritizing emergency calls
- Loading up the van with necessary tools and parts
- Reviewing any special instructions for complex installations
- Quick team huddle to discuss ongoing projects and share tips
On the Road: Bringing the Heat
By 8:30 AM, I’m on the road to my first appointment. Today, it’s a furnace installation for a new homeowner. These jobs are always exciting because I get to ensure a family will stay warm for years to come.
Lunchtime: Refueling for the Afternoon Push
Around noon, I take a quick break to grab lunch and catch up on any urgent messages from dispatch. Sometimes, I use this time to order parts for upcoming jobs or consult with colleagues on tricky diagnoses.
Afternoon Adventures: Troubleshooting and Repairs
The afternoon is often filled with service calls and repairs. From thermostat issues to strange noises coming from vents, every call is a new puzzle to solve. It’s satisfying to leave each home knowing the residents will be cozy and comfortable.
Wrapping Up: The Day’s Debrief
As the workday winds down, I head back to headquarters to:
- File service reports and update customer records
- Restock the van for tomorrow’s adventures
- Discuss any challenging cases with senior technicians
- Plan for the next day’s schedule
Evening Reflection: Why I Love What I Do
Driving home around 6 PM, I reflect on the day. At Staab & Sons, Inc., no two days are the same, but they all share one thing: the satisfaction of knowing I’ve made people’s lives a little more comfortable. It’s not just about installing and repairing heating systems; it’s about bringing warmth and peace of mind to our community, one home at a time.
