6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The day begins early at Heat Engineering, where I check my service schedule over a steaming cup of coffee. Today’s route includes stops in Downers Grove and Westmont, where several homeowners are experiencing heating issues during this cold snap.
7:30 AM – First Call
My first appointment is a furnace inspection in Oak Brook. Winter maintenance is crucial, and I’m glad this homeowner is being proactive. During my thorough check, I:
- Test safety controls
- Clean the burners
- Check heat exchanger integrity
- Replace the air filter
- Verify proper airflow
10:00 AM – Emergency Call
A distress call comes in from Brookfield – an elderly resident’s heating system has completely stopped working. I rearrange my schedule to prioritize this emergency. After diagnosing the issue, I discover a failed blower motor that needs immediate replacement.
2:00 PM – Consultation
In Countryside, I meet with homeowners considering a full system replacement. Their current furnace is over 20 years old and showing signs of inefficiency. I discuss modern, energy-efficient options that could save them money in the long run.
4:30 PM – Final Service Call
My last stop takes me to Hinsdale for a routine maintenance check. These preventative services are what keep systems running smoothly through the harsh Illinois winters.
6:00 PM – Wrapping Up
Back at the office, I complete my service reports and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule. Another satisfying day helping our community stay warm and comfortable during the cold season.
Remember: regular maintenance and prompt attention to heating issues not only ensures comfort but also prevents more costly repairs down the line.
