Morning: Gearing Up for the Day
My day as a Michiana HVAC technician starts early. I arrive at our South Bend office at 7 AM, ready to tackle whatever heating and cooling challenges await. After a quick team meeting, I load up my van with tools and parts, double-checking that I have everything I might need for the day’s scheduled repairs.
Mid-Morning: First Call in Granger
My first stop is in Granger, IN, where a homeowner is experiencing issues with their air conditioning system. Upon arrival, I perform a thorough inspection, identifying a faulty compressor. I explain the problem to the customer and provide options for repair or replacement. They choose to replace the compressor, and I get to work, ensuring their home will be cool and comfortable again soon.
Lunchtime: Quick Break and Next Assignment
After wrapping up in Granger, I take a short lunch break before heading to my next appointment in Mishawaka. The dispatcher informs me of an urgent call that’s come in from Niles, MI, regarding a malfunctioning heat pump. I adjust my schedule to accommodate this priority case.
Early Afternoon: Heat Pump Repair in Niles
Arriving in Niles, I find a family struggling with a heat pump that’s not properly heating their home. After diagnosing the issue, I discover that the reversing valve is stuck. I quickly set about repairing it, explaining the process to the homeowner as I work. Within an hour, their heat pump is functioning correctly, and the family is relieved to have warmth restored.
Late Afternoon: Ductless HVAC Installation in Edwardsburg
My final stop of the day is in Edwardsburg, MI, where I’m part of a team installing a new ductless HVAC system. This efficient solution is perfect for the homeowner’s newly renovated space. We work diligently to ensure everything is properly installed and functioning before we leave.
Evening: Wrapping Up and Preparing for Tomorrow
As the sun sets, I make my way back to the Michiana office in South Bend. I restock my van, file my service reports, and discuss the day’s challenges with my colleagues. Before heading home, I review tomorrow’s schedule, ready to face another day of keeping our community comfortable, no matter the weather.
Working for Michiana is more than just a job – it’s about ensuring our neighbors in South Bend, Niles, Granger, Mishawaka, Edwardsburg, and Dowagiac can rely on their heating and cooling systems year-round. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help people, making this career both rewarding and essential.
