A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician at C & H Cooling & Heating


Rise and Shine: Starting the Day

As the sun peeks over the horizon in Sheffield, AL, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at C & H Cooling & Heating. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I hop in my service van, ready to tackle the heating and cooling challenges our customers face.

Morning: HVAC Installation

My first stop is a new home in Tuscumbia, AL, where we’re installing a state-of-the-art HVAC system. This job requires precision and teamwork:

  • Carefully placing the outdoor unit
  • Running ductwork throughout the house
  • Installing the indoor air handler
  • Connecting and testing the system

It’s satisfying to see the homeowners’ excitement as their new system comes to life.

Midday: Air Conditioning Repair

After lunch, I head to Muscle Shoals, AL, where a customer is experiencing issues with their AC. Upon arrival, I diagnose the problem: a faulty compressor. I explain the situation to the homeowner and get to work replacing the component. It’s hot outside, but knowing I’m restoring comfort to this family keeps me motivated.

Afternoon: AC Service Call

My next stop takes me to Florence, AL, for a routine AC service. Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of HVAC systems. I clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.

Evening: Emergency Repair

Just as I’m wrapping up for the day, we get an emergency call from Killen, AL. A family’s AC has completely shut down during a heatwave. I rush over, quickly identify a blown fuse, and have their system up and running in no time. The relief on their faces reminds me why I love my job at C & H Cooling & Heating.

Wrapping Up

As I drive back to Sheffield, I reflect on the day’s accomplishments. From installations to repairs and maintenance, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable. Tomorrow, I’ll be off to Russellville, AL, for another day of keeping the Shoals area cool and cozy.

Working for C & H Cooling & Heating isn’t just a job – it’s a chance to make a real difference in people’s lives, one HVAC system at a time.
