A Day in the Life: Keeping Lakeland Cool with Refrigeration & Electrical Service
Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Lakeland, Florida, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day with Refrigeration & Electrical Service. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been an HVAC technician with the company for over five years now. Let me walk you through a typical day in my life.
6:00 AM: The Early Bird Gets the Worm
I start my day early, checking my schedule and ensuring my service van is fully stocked with tools and parts. Today’s lineup includes:
- An AC installation in Winter Haven
- Two AC repair calls in Haines City
- A routine AC service in Bartow
8:00 AM: New Installation in Winter Haven
My first stop is a new home in Winter Haven where we’re installing a state-of-the-art HVAC system. It’s always exciting to see a house transform from a sweltering sauna to a cool oasis. The homeowners are thrilled as we explain the energy-efficient features of their new system.
11:30 AM: Troubleshooting in Haines City
After wrapping up in Winter Haven, I head to Haines City for two AC repair calls. The first is a simple fix – a clogged air filter causing the system to work overtime. I always take the opportunity to educate homeowners on the importance of regular maintenance.
The second call is more challenging, with a compressor issue that requires some detective work. It’s satisfying to diagnose and solve these complex problems, knowing I’m helping keep families comfortable in the Florida heat.
2:30 PM: Routine Service in Bartow
My final stop of the day is in Bartow for a routine AC service. These preventative maintenance calls are crucial for extending the life of AC units and catching potential issues before they become major problems. The homeowner is a long-time customer, and we chat about the upcoming summer as I work.
5:00 PM: Wrapping Up
As I finish my last call, I ensure all paperwork is complete and my van is restocked for tomorrow. I head back to the Refrigeration & Electrical Service office in Auburndale to debrief with my team and prepare for another day of keeping Central Florida cool.
Working in HVAC installation and repair with Refrigeration & Electrical Service is more than just a job – it’s about helping our community stay comfortable year-round. Whether we’re in Eagle Lake or anywhere else in Polk County, we’re committed to providing top-notch service with a smile.
