A Day of Keeping Colorado Springs Warm – Life as a HVAC Tech
Morning Briefing – 6:30 AM
The day starts early at High Altitude Heating & Air. As I pull into our Colorado Springs headquarters, the sun hasn’t yet peaked over Pikes Peak. First order of business: reviewing the day’s service calls while enjoying my essential morning coffee.
First Call – 8:00 AM
Today’s first appointment is a furnace inspection in the Broadmoor area. Winter’s approaching, and smart homeowners know the importance of preventative maintenance. I perform a thorough system check, including:
- Heat exchanger inspection
- Thermostat calibration
- Filter replacement
- Electrical connection testing
Emergency Call – 11:30 AM
Just as I’m finishing up, dispatch radios in about an urgent heating repair on the north side. An elderly couple’s furnace stopped working during our first cold snap. These are the moments that remind me why I love this job – helping people stay warm and safe.
Afternoon Service – 2:00 PM
After lunch, I head to a furnace replacement consultation. The homeowner’s unit is 20+ years old and showing its age. I explain their options, focusing on energy efficiency and long-term savings.
Wrapping Up – 5:00 PM
Back at the shop, I complete paperwork and prepare for tomorrow. Working at High Altitude Heating & Air means being ready for anything – from routine maintenance to emergency repairs in our unique mountain climate.
Living in Colorado Springs means dealing with dramatic temperature swings and altitude challenges. That’s why proper HVAC maintenance isn’t just a luxury – it’s essential for comfort and safety throughout our distinctive seasons.
