Early Morning Preparations
The day starts early at Pro Air HVAC, usually before sunrise. After grabbing my essential morning coffee, I head to our service headquarters in Clinton to review the day’s appointments. Winter in Central Illinois means our schedule is packed with heating-related service calls.
First Call: Emergency Furnace Repair
My first stop today is in Normal, where a family woke up to a cold house. These situations are always priority calls, especially when temperatures drop below freezing. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a faulty ignitor – a common issue that requires immediate attention.
Mid-Morning: Scheduled Maintenance
The next appointment takes me to Bloomington for a routine heating system inspection. Preventative maintenance is crucial, and I always remind customers that regular check-ups can prevent costly emergency repairs down the road.
Common Daily Tasks Include:
- System diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Filter replacements and cleaning
- Safety inspections
- Thermostat programming
- Customer education on system maintenance
Afternoon: New Installation Project
The afternoon involves a complete furnace installation in Heyworth. These projects require precision and attention to detail. Every installation is different, depending on the home’s layout and the customer’s specific heating needs.
End of Day: Documentation and Planning
Before heading home, I complete service reports and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule. Serving communities across Central Illinois, from Hudson to Downs, means efficient route planning is essential for providing prompt service to all our valued customers.
The satisfaction of helping families stay warm and comfortable makes every busy day worthwhile in this demanding but rewarding profession.
