Rise and Shine
My day as a Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC technician starts bright and early at 6:30 AM. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I’m out the door by 7:15, ready to tackle whatever HVAC challenges await me in Petersburg, Dundee, and the surrounding areas.
First Call: AC Repair in Ida
My first stop is a residential call in Ida, MI. The homeowner reported their air conditioner blowing warm air. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the customer, get their approval, and proceed to repair the leak and recharge the system.
Midday: Air Conditioning Installation in Britton
Next, I head to Britton for a scheduled AC installation. Working with a fellow Thompson technician, we remove the old unit and install a new, energy-efficient system. We take care to ensure everything is properly connected and functioning before walking the homeowner through the new thermostat controls.
Afternoon: HVAC Maintenance in Ottawa Lake
After lunch, I drive to Ottawa Lake for routine HVAC maintenance at a local business. This involves:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Inspecting electrical connections
- Lubricating moving parts
- Testing overall system performance
Evening: Emergency Call in Lambertville
Just as I’m wrapping up for the day, I receive an emergency call from Lambertville. A family’s air conditioner has completely stopped working during a heatwave. I quickly diagnose a failed capacitor, replace it, and get their system running again, much to their relief.
Wrapping Up
As I head home around 7 PM, I reflect on another busy but satisfying day keeping Southeast Michigan comfortable. Whether it’s AC repair, installation, or maintenance, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay cool.
