A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at Alan Energy Services

Rise and Shine: The Start of a Busy Day

My alarm goes off at 6 AM, and I’m up and ready to tackle another day as an HVAC technician at Alan Energy Services. After a quick breakfast, I hop in my service van and head to our first appointment in Elmhurst, IL. Today’s schedule is packed with various tasks, from routine maintenance to emergency repairs.

Morning: Ductless HVAC Installation

Our first stop is a home in Elmhurst where we’re installing a new ductless HVAC system. These efficient units are becoming increasingly popular, especially in older homes without existing ductwork. I spend the morning carefully mounting the indoor units and connecting them to the outdoor compressor.

Midday: Air Conditioner Service in Villa Park

After wrapping up in Elmhurst, I head to Villa Park for a routine air conditioner service call. Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping AC units running smoothly and efficiently. I clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.

Early Afternoon: Emergency AC Repair in Lombard

Just as I’m finishing up in Villa Park, I receive an urgent call about a malfunctioning air conditioner in Lombard. The homeowner is elderly, so we prioritize this job. Upon arrival, I quickly diagnose the issue – a faulty capacitor – and replace it, restoring cool air to the grateful customer’s home.

Late Afternoon: HVAC Repair in Addison

My next stop takes me to Addison, where a commercial client is experiencing issues with their HVAC system. After a thorough inspection, I identify and repair a refrigerant leak, ensuring the system is back up and running efficiently.

Evening: HVAC Installation Consultation in Oak Brook

As the day winds down, I have one last appointment in Oak Brook. A homeowner is interested in upgrading their HVAC system, so I perform a home evaluation and discuss various options with them. I provide a detailed quote and schedule a follow-up for the installation.

Wrapping Up: The Satisfaction of a Job Well Done

As I drive back to the Alan Energy Services office in Westchester, I reflect on another busy but rewarding day. From installations to repairs, every job brings its own challenges and satisfactions. I’m proud to be part of a team that helps keep our customers comfortable year-round in the Chicagoland area.
