Early Morning Emergency Calls to Late Night Maintenance A HVAC Techs Journey


5:30 AM – The Day Begins

As a service technician at Bradley Heating & Air Conditioning, my day typically starts before sunrise. Today’s first emergency call came from Wellington, where a residential system completely stopped working overnight. In Florida’s heat, that’s no small matter.

8:00 AM – Scheduled Maintenance

After resolving the emergency call, I headed to Palm Beach Gardens for scheduled maintenance visits. Regular maintenance is crucial in preventing major breakdowns, especially during our brutal summer months. My checklist includes:

• Checking refrigerant levels
• Cleaning or replacing filters
• Inspecting electrical connections
• Testing thermostat functionality
• Cleaning condenser coils

12:00 PM – New Installation Project

The afternoon took me to West Palm Beach for a new system installation. These projects require precision and attention to detail, ensuring everything from the ductwork to the electrical connections meets our high standards.

3:30 PM – Emergency Service Call

Got called to Lake Worth for an urgent AC repair. The summer heat makes these calls particularly time-sensitive, especially for homes with elderly residents or young children.

5:00 PM – Final Checks and Documentation

Before heading back, I ensure all paperwork is complete and the next day’s schedule is reviewed. Working in Royal Palm Beach and surrounding areas means planning efficient routes for tomorrow’s service calls.

On-Call Readiness

Even after regular hours, we remain available for emergency situations. In South Florida’s climate, a functioning AC isn’t just about comfort – it’s about safety and well-being.

Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable in their homes and businesses. It’s demanding work, but knowing we make a difference makes it all worthwhile.
