5:30 AM – The Day Begins
As an HVAC technician at Childs Heating & Air, my day often starts before sunrise. This morning, I’m already checking my service schedule while sipping my first cup of coffee. The summer heat in Tennessee means our phones are ringing constantly with emergency cooling calls across the greater Nashville area.
7:00 AM – First Call in Mt. Juliet
My first stop is a residential call in Mt. Juliet. The customer’s AC unit stopped working overnight, and with temperatures expected to hit 95 degrees today, this is a priority service call. After a thorough inspection, I identify a failing capacitor – a common issue during peak cooling season.
10:30 AM – Maintenance in Donelson
I head to Donelson for scheduled maintenance work. Preventative care is crucial for HVAC systems, and I spend time:
• Checking refrigerant levels
• Cleaning condenser coils
• Inspecting electrical connections
• Testing thermostat functionality
2:00 PM – Emergency Call in Hermitage
The dispatch radio crackles with an urgent service request in Hermitage. An elderly customer’s heating system is malfunctioning despite the summer weather – they need it for medical reasons. These are the calls that remind me why I love this work – helping people when they need it most.
4:30 PM – Final Stop in Lebanon
My last scheduled stop takes me to Lebanon for a routine AC inspection. After years in the field, I can often diagnose issues just by listening to the unit’s operation. Today’s customer gets peace of mind knowing their system is running efficiently.
6:00 PM – Wrapping Up
Before heading home, I ensure all my service reports are complete and my truck is restocked for tomorrow. Whether it’s Old Hickory or Madison, our community depends on reliable HVAC service, and I’m proud to help keep our neighbors comfortable year-round.
Remember, regular maintenance is the key to preventing those dreaded emergency calls. Stay cool, Middle Tennessee!
