Rise and Shine: The Early Bird Gets the Warm

As an HVAC technician at Richard’s AC Company, my day starts early. By 6:30 AM, I’m up and preparing for a busy day of heating service calls across North Central West Virginia. After a quick breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, I’m out the door by 7:15 AM, ready to tackle whatever challenges the day might bring.

First Stop: Furnace Repair in Clarksburg

My first call of the day takes me to Clarksburg, where a family is dealing with a malfunctioning furnace. As I arrive, I’m greeted by worried homeowners who’ve been without heat for two days. I quickly get to work, diagnosing the issue and explaining the repair process to the grateful family.

Common Furnace Issues We Encounter:

  • Faulty ignition or pilot control
  • Malfunctioning thermostats
  • Clogged filters
  • Wear and tear on belts and bearings

Midday Dash: Heating Service in Bridgeport

After wrapping up in Clarksburg, I head to Bridgeport for a routine heating service appointment. These preventative maintenance checks are crucial for ensuring systems run efficiently throughout the cold West Virginia winters. I perform a thorough inspection, clean vital components, and make minor adjustments to optimize performance.

Afternoon Adventures: Emergency Call in Buckhannon

Just as I’m finishing up in Bridgeport, I receive an urgent call from our dispatch. A business in Buckhannon is experiencing complete heating system failure. I quickly reroute and make my way there, knowing that every minute counts when it comes to commercial heating issues.

Evening Wrap-up: Jane Lew and Fairmont

As the day winds down, I manage to squeeze in two more stops. In Jane Lew, I help a homeowner understand their new smart thermostat, ensuring they can maximize energy efficiency. My final call takes me to Fairmont, where I perform a quick repair on a heat pump system.

Reflection on a Day Well Spent

As I drive back to the Richard’s AC Company headquarters, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride in the work we do. Keeping homes and businesses warm across Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Buckhannon, Jane Lew, and Fairmont is more than just a job – it’s a calling. And tomorrow, we’ll do it all again, ensuring our community stays comfortable no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.
