Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine
As a technician at Northeast Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration Co., Inc., my day starts early. I’m up at 6 AM, ready to tackle whatever heating and cooling challenges await in Colonie and the surrounding areas.
After a quick breakfast, I hop in my company van, stocked with tools and parts. My first stop? A routine maintenance call in Loudonville.
Morning: Precision and Care in Loudonville
By 8 AM, I’m at my first appointment. The homeowner’s AC unit needs a tune-up. I meticulously clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure everything’s running smoothly. It’s satisfying to know I’m helping keep a family comfortable as summer approaches.
Midday: Emergency Call in East Greenbush
Just as I finish up in Loudonville, I get an urgent call. A restaurant in East Greenbush is having issues with their walk-in refrigerator. I rush over, knowing every minute counts when food storage is involved.
After some troubleshooting, I identify a faulty compressor. Luckily, I have the part in my van, and within an hour, their refrigeration system is back up and running.
Afternoon: HVAC Installation in Cohoes
My afternoon is dedicated to a new HVAC system installation in Cohoes. It’s a big job, but I enjoy the challenge. Working alongside a colleague, we carefully remove the old unit and install the new, energy-efficient system.
Evening: Wrapping Up in Latham and Guilderland
As the day winds down, I make two final stops:
- A quick thermostat replacement in Latham
- A heating system inspection in Guilderland
By 7 PM, I’m heading back to the office to file my reports and prep for tomorrow.
Reflection: Why I Love My Job
As I drive home, I reflect on the day. From Colonie to Guilderland, I’ve helped numerous people stay comfortable in their homes and businesses. It’s rewarding work, and I’m proud to be part of the Northeast Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration team.
Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn. Whether it’s a simple tune-up or a complex installation, I know I’m making a difference in my community, one HVAC system at a time.
