Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine

As a technician at Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC, my day starts early. I’m up at 6 AM, grabbing a quick breakfast before heading to our office in Petersburg, MI. Our team serves various communities, including Dundee, Ida, Britton, Ottawa Lake, and Lambertville. Today’s schedule looks busy with several AC service calls lined up.

First Call: Emergency AC Repair in Dundee

My first stop is a residential emergency in Dundee. The homeowner reported their air conditioner stopped working overnight. Upon arrival, I quickly diagnose the issue: a faulty capacitor. Luckily, I have the replacement part in my van, and within an hour, cool air is flowing again.

Midday: Routine AC Service in Ida

After a quick lunch break, I head to Ida for a routine air conditioner service. These preventive maintenance calls are crucial for keeping systems running efficiently. I clean the condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, and replace the air filter. The homeowner is pleased to learn their AC is in great shape for the summer ahead.

Afternoon: Troubleshooting in Britton

My next call takes me to Britton, where a commercial client is experiencing inconsistent cooling. After a thorough inspection, I discover a malfunctioning thermostat. I explain the issue to the business owner and offer options for replacement. They decide to upgrade to a smart thermostat, which I install and program before leaving.

End of Day: AC Installation in Ottawa Lake

The final job of the day is an AC installation in Ottawa Lake. Working with a colleague, we remove the old unit and efficiently install the new system. We take time to explain the operation and maintenance requirements to the homeowners before wrapping up.

Wrapping Up: Back to Petersburg

As the sun sets, I return to our Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC office in Petersburg. I complete my paperwork, restock my van for tomorrow, and touch base with the team about the day’s challenges and successes.

Being an HVAC technician at Thompson is rewarding work. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our neighbors stay comfortable. Whether it’s AC repair, service, or installation, we’re committed to keeping our communities cool and happy.
