A Day in the Life of an HVAC Technician
You wake up to a sickening silence and realize that it is too early in the morning to be sweating as much as you’re sweating. It’s the middle of summer, and your AC is acting up.
“Oh gosh!” you say. “I sure wish I had signed up for Help’s!! Membership Maintenance Special when I had the chance. Then my AC wouldn’t be acting up!” But never fear. Even when your AC has failed you, Help!! never will.
The hero of today’s story is also waking up to a cup of fresh coffee and the blazing sun. That would be your friendly neighborhood HVAC technician, Korey Knobloch. We hope you enjoy following Korey through his day and to your house. Every day’s an adventure for an HVAC tech, and you are the Final Boss!

Your tech begins his day with a mug of his favorite dark roast, the morning news, and a phone call. The first call of the day is to the office, so he can receive his first mission. The weather comes on and alerts him to the woeful news that, once again, it is going to be a sweltering day. He is certainly going to be busy.
Pulling on his freshly pressed Help!! shirt, he hops out the door with his trusty tool bag and a skip in his step. His only hope is that he won’t have to climb into too many attics today.
The First Assignment: Mr. Adams
Korey arrives at 8:00 am on the dot. Early morning calls require finesse because you never know if there are any sleeping babies or drowsy dogs of which to be mindful. To be safe, he knocks softly.
Mr. Adams informs him that the AC is on the fritz and points out a few suspicious noises coming from the back of the mechanism. Customers are the best source of information when tending to a call! Korey goes through all of the important procedures and keeps a thorough record of everything he checks. Most problems have simple solutions, but it’s important to record everything so the next technician can refer to his notes in the event of another malfunction.
Humming the “Mission Impossible” theme song, Korey locates the capacitor and completes his repairs.
The homeowners are overjoyed and begin to pop champagne and throw confetti! They offer to throw a feast in his honor, but Korey graciously declines. There are other homes to service, and he can’t keep them waiting. Off he rides to his next call.
