A Day in the Life: Keeping Florida Cool with Southern Values
2 min readRise and Shine in Manatee County
My day as an HVAC technician at Southern Values Cooling & Heating typically starts before the sun rises over the peaceful communities of Lakewood Ranch. Coffee in hand, I review the day’s service calls while the morning breeze still carries a hint of coolness.
Morning Rounds
6:30 AM – Equipment check and van inventory
7:00 AM – Team briefing at headquarters
7:30 AM – First service call in Parrish
The Florida heat doesn’t waste time making its presence known. By mid-morning, I’m usually conducting routine maintenance checks in Bradenton’s residential areas. Each home tells its own story of why proper AC maintenance matters in our subtropical climate.
Afternoon Challenges
The afternoon often finds me:
• Performing emergency repairs in Braden River
• Installing new systems in Foxleigh
• Conducting efficiency assessments in Ellenton
• Educating homeowners about preventive maintenance
Beat the Heat
Working in HVAC means understanding that every call is essential – especially during those scorching summer months when temperatures soar past 90 degrees. Whether I’m replacing filters or conducting a full system installation, each task requires precision and dedication to our quality standards.
End of Day
As the sun sets over Manatee County, I wrap up my final service call. There’s nothing more satisfying than knowing another group of families will rest comfortably tonight thanks to properly functioning air conditioning systems.
Remember, in Florida, your AC isn’t just about comfort – it’s about creating a healthy living environment. That’s why we at Southern Values take pride in every service call, every repair, and every installation we perform.
