A Winter Day Keeping Delaware County Warm – Life of an HVAC Tech

2024-11-02

6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

Another chilly morning in Delaware County as I grab my first cup of coffee. Working at Creative Comfort Solutions means early starts during heating season, especially when temperatures drop below freezing.

7:00 AM – First Call in Glenolden

My first appointment is a furnace service call in Glenolden. An elderly couple’s heating system started making unusual noises overnight. These emergency calls are common when winter hits full force. After a thorough inspection, I find and replace a worn belt – crisis averted.

10:30 AM – Heater Installation in Havertown

Next up is a scheduled installation in Havertown. The homeowners decided to upgrade their 15-year-old system before it failed. Smart move. My partner and I spend several hours carefully installing their new energy-efficient unit.

2:00 PM – Urgent Repair in Upper Darby

After a quick lunch break, I head to Upper Darby for a heating repair. A family with young children is without heat. These are the calls we prioritize. I discover a failed ignitor and get their system running within the hour.

4:30 PM – Maintenance in Folcroft

My final stop is a routine maintenance check in Folcroft. Regular maintenance helps prevent those middle-of-the-night emergency calls. I:

* Clean the system thoroughly
* Check all electrical connections
* Test safety controls
* Replace the filter
* Calibrate the thermostat

6:00 PM – Wrapping Up

Back at headquarters, I complete my paperwork and prep for tomorrow’s scheduled installations. Another satisfying day keeping Delaware County residents warm and comfortable.

The best part of working at Creative Comfort Solutions is knowing we’re helping our neighbors stay comfortable through Pennsylvania’s harsh winters. Whether it’s Oreland or Norwood, every call is an opportunity to make someone’s day better.
