A Day in the Life of a Stegall HVAC Technician: Keeping Birmingham Cool
Rise and Shine
My day as a Stegall Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical technician starts early. I’m up at 6 AM, ready to tackle the day’s challenges in Birmingham and its surrounding areas. After a quick breakfast, I head to our office to receive my assignments for the day.
Morning Rounds
8:00 AM: My first call is in Mountain Brook for an AC repair. The homeowner reports their unit isn’t cooling properly. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the client and proceed with the necessary repairs.
10:30 AM: Next up is an air conditioner repair in Vestavia. The issue turns out to be a faulty capacitor, which I swiftly replace, restoring cool air to the grateful homeowner’s residence.
Lunchtime Refuel
I grab a quick lunch in Homewood, using this time to check my schedule for the afternoon and respond to any urgent messages from dispatch.
Afternoon Adventures
1:00 PM: My afternoon begins with an air conditioning installation in Hoover. This is a bigger job, requiring precision and teamwork. We work efficiently to install the new system, ensuring it meets Stegall’s high standards of quality.
4:00 PM: The last scheduled job of the day takes me to Helena for an HVAC installation consultation. I assess the home’s needs, discuss options with the homeowner, and provide a detailed quote for the work.
Wrapping Up
6:30 PM: Back at the office, I complete my paperwork, restock my truck for the next day, and debrief with my supervisor about the day’s activities.
Key Takeaways from Today:
- Solved cooling issues for two families
- Installed a new air conditioning system
- Provided expert consultation for future HVAC work
- Covered over 50 miles across the greater Birmingham area
As I head home, I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing I’ve helped keep my community comfortable. Tomorrow brings new challenges, but that’s what makes being a Stegall technician so rewarding!
