6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The winter morning greets me with a crisp 12°F as I grab my first cup of coffee. Working at Heat Engineering means early starts, especially during the peak heating season. After checking my local weather forecast, I review today’s service calls across the western suburbs.
7:30 AM – First Call in Downers Grove
My first appointment is a routine furnace maintenance check. These preventive services are crucial before temperatures plummet. I methodically go through my checklist:
- Inspect heat exchanger
- Clean or replace filters
- Test safety controls
- Check electrical connections
- Calibrate thermostat
10:00 AM – Emergency Call in Oak Brook
An urgent call comes in – a family’s heating system stopped working overnight. I find their aging furnace needs immediate attention. After diagnosing the issue, I explain their options between repair and replacement.
2:00 PM – New Installation in Westmont
The afternoon involves installing a new high-efficiency heating system. Working with newer models is always exciting, as the technology keeps advancing. These systems provide better comfort and significant energy savings for our customers.
5:00 PM – Final Service Call in Brookfield
My last stop involves a quick repair job – fixing a malfunctioning igniter. These smaller jobs are equally important in ensuring our community stays warm through Chicago’s harsh winters.
6:30 PM – Wrapping Up
Back at the shop, I complete my service reports and prepare for tomorrow. Another satisfying day of helping our neighbors stay comfortable in their homes throughout the western suburbs of Chicago.
Remember: proper heating maintenance isn’t just about comfort – it’s about safety and efficiency too.
