Morning: Gearing Up for the Day
My day at Jackson & Foster starts bright and early at 7 AM. After grabbing a quick coffee, I check the weather forecast for San Diego and surrounding areas like La Mesa and El Cajon. Today’s going to be a scorcher, which means we’ll likely have a busy day of AC repairs and installations ahead.
First Call: AC Repair in Scripps Ranch
By 8 AM, I’m on the road to my first appointment in Scripps Ranch. A family’s air conditioner has been blowing warm air, a common issue we face during summer months. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the homeowner and get to work repairing the leak and recharging the system.
Midday: Air Conditioner Installation in Lemon Grove
After wrapping up in Scripps Ranch, I head to Lemon Grove for a scheduled air conditioner installation. The homeowners have opted for an energy-efficient model, which is always exciting to install. Here’s what the process typically involves:
- Removing the old unit
- Installing the new outdoor condensing unit
- Setting up the indoor air handler
- Connecting refrigerant lines
- Testing the system
Afternoon: Emergency Call in Lakeside
Just as I’m finishing up in Lemon Grove, I receive an emergency call from a commercial client in Lakeside. Their HVAC system has completely shut down, leaving their office uncomfortably warm. I quickly diagnose the issue as a faulty compressor and get to work replacing it.
Evening: Wrapping Up in El Cajon
My final stop of the day is in El Cajon for a routine air conditioner service. Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping AC units running efficiently and preventing unexpected breakdowns. After completing the service, I provide the homeowner with some tips for maintaining their system between professional check-ups.
As I drive back to the Jackson & Foster office, I reflect on another busy but fulfilling day. Helping people stay cool and comfortable in their homes and businesses is what makes this job so rewarding. Tomorrow, I’ll be ready to do it all over again!
