Morning Preparations
My day as an HVAC technician at Superior Comfort starts early, usually before sunrise. After a quick check of my service schedule and equipment inventory, I load up my van with the necessary tools and parts for the day’s appointments across Rhode Island’s coastal communities.
First Call: Heating Emergency
Today’s first stop is in Bristol, where a homeowner woke up to a cold house. Winter mornings in New England can be unforgiving, so these calls take priority. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify and repair a faulty ignition system, restoring warmth to the grateful family’s home.
Mid-Morning: Routine Maintenance
Between emergency calls, I handle preventive maintenance appointments. These regular check-ups include:
• Inspecting furnace components
• Cleaning or replacing filters
• Checking refrigerant levels
• Testing safety controls
• Calibrating thermostats
Afternoon: System Installation
The afternoon takes me to Portsmouth for a new heating system installation. This is where precision and expertise are crucial – proper installation ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency for years to come.
End of Day: Documentation
Before heading back to base, I complete detailed service reports for each visit, schedule follow-up appointments when needed, and ensure my van is restocked for tomorrow’s calls throughout Warren, Barrington, Newport, and Middletown.
Every day brings different challenges, but helping Rhode Island residents stay comfortable in their homes makes it all worthwhile.
Professional Development
The day doesn’t end without reviewing the latest HVAC technology updates and industry standards. Continuous learning is essential in our field to provide the best service possible to our community.
