6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
My day at D & K Heating & Cooling starts early, especially during the peak winter season. After checking the day’s service schedule, I load up my truck with the essential tools and parts we commonly need for furnace repairs.
7:30 AM – First Call in La Vista
The morning begins with an emergency call from a La Vista resident whose heating system stopped working overnight. These situations are always priority calls – nobody should wake up to a freezing home in Nebraska’s harsh winters.
Key Tasks of the Morning:
- Diagnostic testing of the heating system
- Cleaning and inspecting furnace components
- Replacing worn-out parts
- Explaining maintenance tips to homeowners
12:00 PM – Lunch Break in Papillion
Quick lunch between calls. I use this time to check in with dispatch about any emergency calls that came in during the morning.
1:30 PM – Furnace Installation
The afternoon involves a scheduled furnace installation in west Omaha. These jobs typically take several hours and require precise attention to detail. Today’s installation includes:
- Removing the old system
- Installing new ductwork
- Setting up the new unit
- Testing system efficiency
4:30 PM – Final Service Call
End the day with a routine maintenance check in Papillion. These preventative services help homeowners avoid major repairs during the coldest months.
5:30 PM – Wrapping Up
Back at the shop, I complete paperwork, restock my truck for tomorrow, and review the next day’s schedule. Another satisfying day helping our community stay warm and comfortable!
Remember: Regular maintenance is key to preventing major heating system failures. Don’t wait until your furnace stops working to call for service!
