A Day of Keeping Jersey City Warm – Life as an HVAC Tech
6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The day begins early at Aeromark Mechanical. After my morning coffee and breakfast, I check my service schedule for the day. Today’s route takes me through Jersey City and Hoboken, with five furnace service calls lined up.
7:30 AM – First Call
Our first stop is a residential furnace repair in downtown Jersey City. The homeowner reported unusual noises from their heating system. After a thorough inspection, I identify a worn belt – a common issue during peak heating season.
10:00 AM – Emergency Service
The dispatcher radios in with an urgent call from Hoboken. An elderly resident’s furnace stopped working entirely during one of the coldest mornings of the year. These are the moments that remind me why I love this job – helping people stay warm and safe.
Key Tasks Throughout My Day:
- Performing preventive maintenance checks
- Diagnosing heating system issues
- Replacing worn components
- Educating homeowners about system care
- Providing estimates for replacement units
3:00 PM – Furnace Installation
The afternoon involves assisting with a new furnace installation in Union City. Working with modern, energy-efficient systems keeps us on our toes as technology constantly evolves in our industry.
5:30 PM – Wrapping Up
Before heading back to headquarters, I complete my service reports and prepare the van for tomorrow. Working at Aeromark Mechanical means being ready for whatever the next day brings – from routine maintenance to emergency repairs across northern New Jersey.
The satisfaction of keeping homes warm and families comfortable makes every early morning worth it. It’s not just about fixing furnaces; it’s about providing peace of mind to our community.
