A Day in the Life of an HVAC Tech During Tucson’s Summer Rush

Early Morning Preparations

My day at Dynamic Comfort AC and Heating starts before the sun rises over the Catalina Mountains. By 6:00 AM, I’m already checking my service schedule and loading up the van with essential parts and tools. During peak summer months in Tucson, every minute counts.

First Call: Emergency AC Replacement

Today’s first stop is in Oro Valley, where a family’s 15-year-old unit finally gave up during yesterday’s 105-degree heat. These situations remind me why I love this job – helping people regain comfort in their homes when they need it most.

Mid-Morning: Routine Maintenance

After completing the replacement, I head to Casas Adobes for scheduled maintenance visits. Regular maintenance includes:

  • Filter inspections and replacements
  • Coil cleaning
  • Refrigerant level checks
  • Electrical connection testing
  • Thermostat calibration

Afternoon: Diagnostics in Catalina Foothills

The afternoon brings me to a beautiful home in the Foothills. The customer reports unusual noises from their AC unit. These diagnostic calls require detective work – listening, testing, and using years of experience to identify the issue quickly.

End of Day

As the sun sets and temperatures finally start dropping, I finish my paperwork and prepare for tomorrow. Working at Dynamic Comfort means being ready for anything, from simple maintenance to complete system overhauls. It’s challenging work, but seeing satisfied customers enjoying their comfortable homes makes it all worthwhile.

Remember, in our business, prevention is always better than cure. Regular maintenance can help avoid those emergency calls during the hottest days of our Arizona summer.
