A Morning Rush of Emergency HVAC Calls in Washington County
5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
The early morning stillness is broken by my alarm. As a service technician for Bruton Comfort Control, I know that summer days in Oregon start early, especially when the forecast shows temperatures climbing into the 90s.
6:15 AM – First Emergency Call
My phone rings before I’ve finished my coffee. A resident in Beaverton needs urgent help with their AC unit. Living in the Pacific Northwest means many homes weren’t built with cooling in mind, making our services crucial during heat waves.
Daily Schedule Overview:
- Three scheduled maintenance appointments in Tigard
- Two AC installations in Tualatin
- Emergency calls as needed throughout Washington County
Midday Challenges
By noon, I’m crawling through a dusty attic in Hillsboro, checking ductwork and replacing a worn-out air filter. The homeowner mentions they’ve been putting off maintenance for years – a common story we hear in the industry.
Afternoon Education
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is teaching homeowners about proper HVAC maintenance. During my stop in Aloha, I spend extra time explaining how regular filter changes can prevent costly repairs and improve indoor air quality.
End of Day
As the sun sets over Washington County, I reflect on another busy day keeping our community comfortable. Whether it’s the peak of summer or the chill of winter, being part of the solution makes every early morning worth it.
Remember, preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. Stay cool, Washington County!
