Morning Brief – 7:30 AM
The day starts early at Apollo Heating & Cooling, Inc. with our morning team meeting. We review the day’s service calls across Saint Clair Shores and surrounding communities while enjoying steaming cups of coffee. The dispatcher hands out our assignments, and I notice several heating system maintenance calls in Warren and Roseville.
First Call – 8:30 AM
My first stop is in Eastpointe, where a family woke up to a cold house. After a thorough inspection, I identify a faulty igniter causing their furnace problems. It’s satisfying to see the relief on their faces when warm air starts flowing again.
Mid-Day Tasks
By lunch, I’ve completed:
• Two preventive maintenance checks in Harper Woods
• A furnace filter replacement in Roseville
• A consultation for a heating system upgrade in Saint Clair Shores
Afternoon – 2:00 PM
The afternoon brings a furnace replacement project in Warren. These installations typically take several hours, but ensuring proper installation is crucial for efficiency and safety. Working with my colleague, we carefully remove the old unit and install the new system.
End of Day – 6:00 PM
Before heading back to headquarters, I complete final paperwork and prepare for tomorrow. There’s satisfaction in knowing that several Michigan families will sleep warmly tonight because of our work.
Every day brings different challenges, but helping our community stay comfortable during harsh Michigan winters makes it all worthwhile.
Key Takeaways
• Professional HVAC service requires continuous learning
• Preventive maintenance helps avoid emergency calls
• Building relationships with customers is as important as technical skills
• Michigan winters demand reliable heating systems
Remember, regular maintenance extends your heating system’s life and ensures optimal performance throughout the cold season.
