A Day in the Life of a Tropical Heating & Cooling Technician
Rise and Shine: Starting the Day Right
As a technician at Tropical Heating & Cooling, my day begins early. I’m up at 6 AM, grabbing a quick breakfast and coffee before heading to our office in Lockport, NY. Our team serves customers across North Tonawanda, Lewiston, Wheatfield, and Grand Island, so being centrally located is key.
Morning Briefing and First Call
7:30 AM: I arrive at the office for our daily briefing. We discuss ongoing projects, new service requests, and any urgent furnace repairs. Today, my first call is a heating system check-up in Wheatfield.
8:15 AM: I’m on the road, fully stocked with tools and parts. The customer reported inconsistent heating, a common issue as winter approaches. After a thorough inspection, I discover a worn-out blower motor. I explain the situation to the homeowner and schedule a follow-up for replacement.
Midday: Furnace Replacement in Lewiston
11:00 AM: My next appointment is a major job – a full furnace replacement in Lewiston. As an HVAC contractor, these projects are both challenging and rewarding. I meet with the homeowners, discuss their options, and begin the installation process.
Steps in Furnace Replacement:
- Remove the old unit
- Prepare the area for the new furnace
- Install the new system
- Connect and test all components
- Explain operation to the homeowners
Afternoon: Emergency Call in Grand Island
3:30 PM: Just as I’m wrapping up in Lewiston, I receive an emergency call from Grand Island. A family’s heating system has completely shut down. As a reliable HVAC company, we pride ourselves on quick response times.
I arrive on-site within the hour and diagnose the problem: a faulty ignition system. Fortunately, I have the necessary parts on hand and can complete the repair immediately, restoring heat to a grateful family.
Evening: Wrapping Up and Planning Ahead
6:00 PM: Back at the office, I complete my paperwork, update customer files, and restock my truck for tomorrow. Before heading home, I check the schedule for the next day – looks like I’ll be in North Tonawanda for a commercial HVAC maintenance job.
Working at Tropical Heating & Cooling means no two days are alike. Whether it’s furnace repair, system replacements, or emergency calls, we’re always ready to keep our community comfortable, no matter the season.
