6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

The day starts early in the HVAC business, especially here in Washington state. After checking my morning weather report, I load up my service van with the essential tools and parts I might need for the day’s scheduled maintenance calls.

7:30 AM – First Service Call

Our dispatch office sends through the day’s schedule. First up is a commercial refrigeration maintenance check at a local restaurant. These preventive maintenance visits are crucial, especially as we approach the warmer months.

Key Tasks During Morning Service:

• Checking refrigerant levels
• Inspecting electrical connections
• Cleaning condenser coils
• Testing system performance

12:00 PM – Emergency Call

Just as I’m finishing lunch, an urgent call comes in. A grocery store’s walk-in cooler isn’t maintaining proper temperature. In our industry, these situations require immediate attention to prevent food spoilage.

3:00 PM – Residential HVAC Maintenance

The afternoon involves a scheduled maintenance visit for a residential heat pump system. These regular check-ups help homeowners avoid costly repairs and ensure optimal energy efficiency.

5:00 PM – Wrapping Up

Before heading back to the shop, I complete all service documentation and prepare the van for tomorrow. Working at Columbia Cooling & Refrigeration means staying organized and ready for whatever the next day might bring.

The satisfaction of helping businesses and homeowners maintain comfortable environments makes every busy day worthwhile. It’s not just about fixing systems; it’s about building relationships and ensuring our community’s comfort and safety.

Remember, proper HVAC maintenance isn’t just a service – it’s an investment in your comfort and equipment longevity.
