Morning Briefing – 6:30 AM
The day starts early at Hammond Heating & Air Conditioning, as Florida’s heat waits for no one. With my service truck stocked and tablet showing the day’s appointments, I grab my morning coffee and head to our first call in Fleming Island.
First Call – 8:00 AM
The morning begins with a routine preventative maintenance check for a long-time customer. These inspections are crucial in our Florida climate, where AC systems work overtime nearly year-round. I clean the condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure the system is running at peak efficiency.
Emergency Call – 10:30 AM
Mid-morning brings an urgent call from Jacksonville Beach – a family’s AC unit has completely stopped working. In Florida’s climate, this quickly becomes an emergency, especially for households with elderly residents or young children. I diagnose a failed capacitor and quickly make the replacement, restoring comfort to grateful homeowners.
Lunch Break – 12:30 PM
A quick lunch in Doctors Inlet while reviewing afternoon appointments and checking inventory levels in my truck.
Afternoon Schedule – 1:30 PM
The afternoon includes:
– New system consultation in Middleburg
– Filter replacement in Macclenny
– Thermostat upgrade in Jacksonville
Final Call – 4:30 PM
The day ends with a heating system maintenance check. Even in Florida, we need to ensure heating systems are ready for those occasional cold snaps.
Wrapping Up – 6:00 PM
Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork, restock my truck, and prepare for tomorrow. Every day brings different challenges, but helping keep our communities comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
Remember, in Florida’s climate, regular maintenance isn’t just a recommendation – it’s essential for system longevity and efficiency. Whether you’re in Jacksonville Beach or Middleburg, keeping your HVAC system in top condition helps ensure comfort all year round.
