A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at Jackson & Foster
Morning: Gearing Up for the Day
My day at Jackson & Foster Heating & Air Conditioning starts early. I arrive at our San Diego headquarters at 7 AM, ready to tackle whatever cooling challenges await. After a quick team meeting, I review my schedule for the day, which includes three appointments across La Mesa and El Cajon.
Mid-Morning: First Call in La Mesa
My first stop is a residential call in La Mesa. The homeowner reports their air conditioner isn’t cooling effectively. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the client and proceed with the necessary repairs, ensuring their system is back to peak performance.
Afternoon: AC Installation in El Cajon
After lunch, I head to El Cajon for a new air conditioning installation. This job requires precision and teamwork, so I meet up with a colleague. We work efficiently to remove the old unit and install the new system, taking care to ensure proper sizing and optimal performance for the homeowner.
Late Afternoon: Emergency Call in Lemon Grove
Just as I’m wrapping up in El Cajon, I receive an emergency call from Lemon Grove. A family’s AC has completely stopped working on one of the hottest days of the year. I quickly drive over and diagnose the issue as a faulty capacitor. Luckily, I have the part on hand and can make the repair immediately, much to the relief of the grateful homeowners.
Evening: Wrapping Up
Before heading home, I return to the office to complete my paperwork and prepare for the next day. I also take a moment to update my knowledge on the latest HVAC technologies, as Jackson & Foster encourages ongoing education.
Working for Jackson & Foster Heating & Air Conditioning is more than just a job – it’s a commitment to keeping our San Diego community comfortable. Whether I’m in Scripps Ranch, Lakeside, or anywhere in between, I take pride in providing top-notch air conditioner repair, installation, and service to our valued customers.
