A Day in the Life of an HVAC Tech: Keeping South Florida Cool
2 min readMorning: Gearing Up for the Day
My day at South Florida AC starts early. I arrive at our Boca Raton headquarters at 7 AM, ready to tackle the day’s challenges. After a quick team huddle, I load up my van with the necessary tools and parts for the day’s scheduled installations and repairs.
Mid-Morning: First Call – AC Installation
By 8:30 AM, I’m at my first job in Deerfield Beach. A family is replacing their old, inefficient unit with a new, energy-saving model. I spend the next few hours carefully removing the old system and installing the new one, ensuring everything is properly connected and sealed.
Lunchtime: Quick Refuel
Around noon, I grab a quick lunch at a local deli. It’s a chance to cool off and recharge before the afternoon appointments.
Early Afternoon: Emergency Repair
After lunch, I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning AC unit in Delray Beach. The Florida heat is unforgiving, so I rush to the location. Upon inspection, I discover a faulty capacitor. Luckily, I have the part on hand, and within an hour, the system is running smoothly again.
Late Afternoon: Routine Maintenance
My final stop of the day is back in Boca Raton for a routine maintenance check. These visits are crucial for:
- Extending the life of the AC unit
- Improving energy efficiency
- Preventing unexpected breakdowns
I clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.
Evening: Wrapping Up
As the day winds down, I return to the South Florida AC office to complete paperwork and prep for the next day. It’s been a busy but rewarding day, knowing I’ve helped keep our community cool and comfortable.
Working at South Florida AC is more than just a job – it’s about providing essential comfort to our neighbors in Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, and Delray Beach. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to put my HVAC expertise to work.
