A Day in the Life of a Wighton’s HVAC Technician
2 min readRise and Shine: Starting the Day Right
As a seasoned HVAC technician at Wighton’s, my day begins bright and early at 6:30 AM. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I don my uniform proudly, knowing I represent a company that has been serving San Luis Obispo County for over 68 years.
Morning Briefing and Route Planning
By 7:30 AM, I’m at the Wighton’s office for our daily team meeting. We discuss:
- Today’s service calls
- Any urgent repairs
- Updates on ongoing projects
- Safety reminders
Our dispatcher then hands out our routes, optimized for efficiency and customer convenience.
On the Road: Serving Our Community
My first call is to a longtime customer whose air conditioning unit needs maintenance. As I drive, I reflect on how Wighton’s has become a trusted name in heating, cooling, and plumbing services since 1953. Our commitment to treating customers like family has truly set us apart.
Lunchtime: Refuel and Recharge
Around noon, I take a quick break to eat and check in with the office. Sometimes, I use this time to study up on the latest HVAC technologies, ensuring I can provide the best service possible.
Afternoon Adventures: Tackling Challenges
The afternoon often brings more complex jobs. Today, I’m installing a new, energy-efficient heating system for a local business. It’s rewarding to know that our work not only improves comfort but also helps reduce energy consumption.
Wrapping Up: Quality Assurance
Before heading back to the office, I double-check my work and ensure the customer is satisfied. At Wighton’s, we pride ourselves on our strong values and quality workmanship, which have made us leaders in the industry on the Central Coast.
End of Day Reflections
As I clock out around 5:30 PM, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Another day of serving our community with reliable heating, cooling, and plumbing services has come to an end. I’m proud to be part of the Wighton’s team, continuing a legacy of excellence that spans nearly seven decades.
