A Day of Keeping Arizona Homes Comfortable – Life as an HVAC Tech

5:30 AM – Rise and Shine

My day at Just Better Air Conditioning and Heating LLC starts early. After a quick breakfast and checking the forecast (today’s hitting 112°F), I review my service calls for the day across Chandler and Tempe.

7:00 AM – First Call

The morning begins with a furnace service in Ahwatukee Foothills Village. These preventative maintenance calls are crucial before winter hits. Even in Arizona, those desert nights can get surprisingly cold.

9:30 AM – Emergency Response

A distress call comes in from Tempe – an AC unit completely stopped working. In Arizona’s heat, this is always treated as an emergency. After diagnosing the issue, I find a failed capacitor. Fortunately, it’s a quick fix.

12:00 PM – Lunch Break

A brief respite in my service vehicle, reviewing afternoon appointments while staying hydrated.

1:30 PM – Installation Project

The afternoon involves a complete AC system installation in Chandler. These jobs require:

  • Precise measurements
  • Careful removal of old equipment
  • Proper positioning of new unit
  • Meticulous connection work

4:30 PM – Final Service Call

The day ends with a furnace repair in Tempe. A routine maintenance check reveals the need for replacement parts, which we’ll schedule for tomorrow.

6:00 PM – Wrap Up

Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork, restock my truck, and prepare for another day of keeping Valley residents comfortable in their homes.

Every day brings different challenges, but ensuring our community stays comfortable through extreme desert temperatures makes it all worthwhile.
