Early Morning Preparations
The day starts early at Milwaukie Heating & Cooling, usually before the sun rises. After grabbing my essential tools and checking the day’s service schedule, I fuel up the service van and head out to our first appointment in Happy Valley.
Morning Service Calls
Winter mornings in Oregon mean plenty of heating system checkups. Today’s first stop involves:
• Furnace inspection for a longtime customer
• Filter replacement
• System efficiency testing
• Thermostat programming assistance
Midday Emergency Response
Just as I finish the morning appointments, dispatch calls about an urgent heating repair in West Linn. An elderly couple’s furnace stopped working during one of the coldest days of the year. These situations remind me why I love this job – helping people stay comfortable and safe in their homes.
Afternoon Maintenance
The afternoon schedule includes:
• Preventative maintenance appointments
• HVAC system consultations
• Parts inventory check
• Documentation and service records update
End of Day
Before heading back to headquarters, I ensure all service reports are complete and the van is restocked for tomorrow. Working throughout Clackamas County means covering significant territory, but seeing satisfied customers makes every mile worth it.
Being part of the heating and cooling industry in Oregon requires dedication, technical expertise, and a genuine desire to help others. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our community.
Safety First
Throughout every service call, maintaining safety protocols and following industry best practices remains our top priority. Whether it’s a simple maintenance check or a complex repair, we ensure every job meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
Remember, regular HVAC maintenance isn’t just about comfort – it’s an investment in your home’s efficiency and your family’s well-being.
