A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at Ryals Brothers
Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine
As the sun peeks over the horizon in Lakeland, FL, I start my day at Ryals Brothers Heating & Cooling. After a quick cup of coffee, I check my schedule for the day. Today, I’ve got a mix of air conditioner installations and routine maintenance calls across Winter Haven and Bartow.
First Stop: Central Air Repair in Winter Haven
My first call is a central air repair job in Winter Haven. The homeowner reported strange noises coming from their unit. After a thorough inspection, I discover a loose fan belt. It’s a quick fix, and the customer is relieved to have their system running smoothly again.
Midday: A/C Maintenance in Bartow
Next, I head to Bartow for a scheduled A/C maintenance appointment. Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping systems running efficiently. I perform the following tasks:
- Clean or replace air filters
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect and clean coils
- Verify thermostat accuracy
The homeowner is pleased with the service and asks about tips for improving energy efficiency.
Afternoon: New Installation in Plant City
After lunch, I drive to Plant City for a new air conditioner installation. This is a big job that requires precision and teamwork. My colleagues and I work together to remove the old unit and install the new, energy-efficient system. The homeowners are excited about their upgraded comfort and potential energy savings.
Evening: Emergency Call in Mulberry
Just as I’m wrapping up for the day, we get an emergency call from Mulberry. A family’s air conditioning has completely shut down during a heatwave. I head over immediately, diagnose the issue as a faulty compressor, and work late to get their system back up and running.
End of Day: Reflection and Preparation
As I drive back to the Ryals Brothers office in Lakeland, I reflect on the day’s challenges and successes. I update my job reports and prepare my vehicle for tomorrow’s adventures in Lake Alfred and beyond.
Working for Ryals Brothers Heating & Cooling is more than just a job – it’s about ensuring comfort and safety for our community, one HVAC system at a time.
