Rise and Shine: The Life of an AC Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at Just Right Service. My name’s Mike, and I’ve been an AC technician here for five years. Today’s schedule is packed with calls across Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, and Rancho Santa Margarita.
7:00 AM: First Stop – Emergency AC Repair
My first call is an emergency repair in Laguna Hills. A family’s air conditioner stopped working overnight, and with temperatures rising, they need help fast. I arrive, diagnose the issue (a faulty capacitor), and have their system up and running within an hour. The relief on their faces reminds me why I love this job.
10:00 AM: Routine Maintenance in Ladera Ranch
Next up is a scheduled maintenance visit in Ladera Ranch. Regular check-ups are crucial for keeping AC units running efficiently. I:
- Clean the condenser coils
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect electrical connections
- Replace the air filter
The homeowner is pleased to learn their system is in great shape, potentially saving them money on energy bills.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break and Team Check-in
I grab a quick lunch and touch base with the office. We discuss the day’s progress and any urgent calls that have come in.
2:00 PM: New AC Installation in Laguna Woods
The afternoon is dedicated to installing a new air conditioning system for a couple in Laguna Woods. It’s a big job, but with my team’s help, we complete the installation efficiently. We take time to explain the new system’s features and maintenance requirements to the homeowners.
6:00 PM: Wrapping Up
As the day winds down, I complete my paperwork and prepare for tomorrow. It’s been a busy day, but knowing I’ve helped keep our community cool and comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
