A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician: Keeping Fort Oglethorpe Cool

Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine

As an HVAC technician at Air Comfort HVAC, my day starts early. I’m up at 6 AM, grabbing a quick breakfast before heading to our office in Fort Oglethorpe, GA. The morning briefing is essential – we review the day’s schedule and discuss any urgent calls that came in overnight.

First Stop: Ductless HVAC Installation

Today’s first job takes me to a home in Ringgold, GA. The homeowners have decided to upgrade to a ductless HVAC system. I spend the morning:

  • Assessing the layout of the house
  • Determining optimal locations for indoor units
  • Installing the outdoor compressor
  • Running refrigerant lines and electrical connections

It’s satisfying work, knowing that this efficient system will keep the family comfortable year-round.

Lunch Break and Emergency Call

Just as I’m about to enjoy my packed lunch, dispatch calls with an emergency AC repair in Rocky Face, GA. A family’s air conditioner has stopped working on one of the hottest days of the year. I quickly head over, diagnose the issue (a faulty capacitor), and replace the part. The relief on their faces when cool air starts flowing again is priceless.

Afternoon: Routine AC Service

The afternoon takes me to Dalton, GA, for a scheduled AC service appointment. Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping systems running efficiently. I perform a thorough check-up, including:

  • Cleaning or replacing air filters
  • Checking refrigerant levels
  • Inspecting and cleaning condenser coils
  • Ensuring proper thermostat function

Wrapping Up: Back to the Office

As the day winds down, I return to the Air Comfort HVAC office to file my reports and restock my truck for tomorrow. It’s been a busy day, but knowing that I’ve helped keep my community comfortable makes it all worthwhile.

Working in HVAC is more than just fixing machines – it’s about providing comfort and peace of mind to our customers across Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold, Rocky Face, and Dalton. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
