A Day in the Life: Keeping Lexington Cool with Ware’s HVAC Experts
Rise and Shine: The Life of an HVAC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Lexington, Kentucky, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at Ware’s Heating & Cooling. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been working here for five years now. Let me take you through a typical day in the life of an HVAC technician.
6:30 AM: Morning Routine
I start my day with a strong cup of coffee and a quick check of the day’s schedule. Today, I see a mix of air conditioner repair calls and one new AC installation in Georgetown.
7:30 AM: First Call – Emergency Repair
My first stop is a residential emergency in Midway. The homeowner’s AC unit stopped working overnight, and with temperatures forecasted to hit the 90s, it’s crucial we get it fixed ASAP.
Tasks involved:
- Diagnostic check of the system
- Identifying a faulty capacitor
- Replacing the part and testing the unit
10:00 AM: AC Installation in Georgetown
Next up, I head to Georgetown for a new air conditioning installation. This job takes up a good chunk of the day, involving:
- Removing the old unit
- Installing the new system
- Connecting and testing all components
- Explaining the new system to the homeowner
3:00 PM: Back to Lexington for Routine Maintenance
After wrapping up in Georgetown, I return to Lexington for a couple of routine maintenance calls. These typically involve:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Inspecting ductwork for leaks
- Ensuring optimal system performance
6:00 PM: Wrapping Up
As the day winds down, I head back to the Ware’s Heating & Cooling office to file my reports and prep for tomorrow. It’s been a long day, but knowing I’ve helped keep my community comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
Working at Ware’s isn’t just a job; it’s about being part of a team dedicated to keeping Lexington, Georgetown, and Midway cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
