Early Morning Calls
The day starts before sunrise when the temperature hovers around 15 degrees in Eagle County. As a service technician at Eagle River Service Company, I know these frigid mornings often bring urgent calls from homeowners discovering their heating systems aren’t working.
First Response
By 7 AM, I’m reviewing the day’s schedule while checking my service equipment and diagnostic tools. Our first call comes from a residence in Gypsum – their furnace stopped working overnight, and with young children in the home, it’s our priority call.
Mid-Morning Maintenance
After resolving the emergency call (a failed igniter that needed replacement), I head to scheduled maintenance appointments. These preventive checks are crucial in our mountain climate, where heating systems work overtime during the long winter months.
Afternoon Education
Between service calls, I spend time:
– Explaining maintenance schedules to homeowners
– Providing energy efficiency tips
– Documenting system conditions
– Ordering replacement parts for upcoming jobs
Evening Wrap-Up
As the sun sets behind the mountains, I complete my final service call of the day – a routine furnace tune-up in Eagle. These preventive visits often prevent middle-of-the-night emergencies, which makes them especially satisfying.
Every day brings different challenges, but keeping our valley’s homes warm and comfortable makes it all worthwhile. Whether it’s a simple maintenance check or a complete furnace replacement, we’re committed to providing reliable heating services to our mountain community.
Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing those cold-morning surprises. Stay warm, Eagle Valley!
