Rise and Shine: The Life of a Mr. Chill Technician
As the sun peeks over the horizon, I’m already up and at ’em, ready for another day as a technician at Mr. Chill Heating & Air. Today’s focus? Servicing manufactured homes in our community. These unique dwellings present their own set of challenges, but that’s what makes my job so interesting!
Morning Briefing
7:30 AM: I arrive at the office for our daily team huddle. We discuss the day’s appointments, share tips, and review any updates on manufacturer guidelines. Today, I’m assigned to three manufactured homes with various HVAC issues.
First Stop: Furnace Checkup
9:00 AM: I arrive at my first appointment, a cozy double-wide with a furnace that’s been acting up. The homeowner greets me, and I get to work:
- Inspect the ductwork for any leaks or damage
- Clean the furnace filter and check for proper airflow
- Test the thermostat and calibrate if necessary
- Lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation
After a thorough examination, I discover a worn-out blower motor. I explain the issue to the homeowner and schedule a replacement.
Lunch Break and Supply Run
12:00 PM: Time for a quick lunch and a stop at our supply warehouse to stock up on commonly used parts for manufactured home HVAC systems.
Afternoon Adventures: AC Troubles
1:30 PM: My next call is to a single-wide home with air conditioning problems. The compact space requires some creative maneuvering, but I’m up for the challenge. I discover:
- A clogged condensate drain line
- Low refrigerant levels
I clear the drain line and top off the refrigerant, explaining to the homeowner how to maintain their system for optimal performance.
Final Call: Preventive Maintenance
4:00 PM: My last stop of the day is a routine maintenance check on a newly installed HVAC system in a modular home. I perform a full system inspection, ensuring everything is running smoothly and efficiently.
Wrapping Up
6:00 PM: Back at the office, I complete my paperwork, update customer files, and prep for tomorrow’s adventures. Another satisfying day keeping our community comfortable, one manufactured home at a time!
Working at Mr. Chill Heating & Air isn’t just a job; it’s a passion for creating cozy, efficient living spaces for all types of homes. Whether it’s a sprawling estate or a compact manufactured home, we’re here to ensure everyone stays comfortable year-round.
