From Sunrise to Sunset A Day Keeping Chicagoland Cool
Early Morning Preparations
The day begins at 6:30 AM as I check my work tablet for the day’s service appointments across the western suburbs. Coffee in hand, I review my route that will take me through Naperville and Wheaton today. The morning briefing at Energy Services ensures our team is updated on any urgent AC repairs and new installation projects.
First Call: Emergency AC Service
By 8:00 AM, I’m at my first stop in Downers Grove, where a family’s air conditioning system stopped working overnight. Summer temperatures in Illinois can be unforgiving, so these calls take priority. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify and repair a faulty capacitor – a common issue during peak cooling season.
Mid-Day Installation Project
The late morning takes me to Lisle for a scheduled HVAC installation. These projects require precise attention to detail:
• Removing old equipment
• Installing new ductwork
• Setting up the new energy-efficient unit
• Testing system performance
• Explaining operation to homeowners
Afternoon Service Calls
After lunch, I handle several maintenance calls in Bolingbrook and Aurora. Regular maintenance is crucial for:
• Extending system lifespan
• Improving energy efficiency
• Preventing unexpected breakdowns
• Maintaining optimal indoor air quality
End of Day Wrap-Up
As the sun sets, I complete my final service call in Naperville. Before heading back, I ensure all paperwork is properly filed, parts inventory is updated, and tomorrow’s schedule is confirmed. It’s satisfying knowing that we’ve helped keep several families comfortable in their homes today.
Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our community, making this career both rewarding and essential for maintaining comfort in Chicagoland homes.
