A Typical Day Keeping North Texas Cool – Life as an HVAC Tech

6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

The day begins early at Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating, where I check my service schedule for the day ahead. Today’s route takes me through McKinney and Plano, with several AC repair calls waiting.

7:30 AM – First Call of the Day

Arriving at my first stop in McKinney, I’m greeted by a family whose AC unit stopped working overnight. Texas summers don’t mess around, and neither do we. After a thorough inspection, I identify a failing capacitor – a common issue during peak cooling season.

10:00 AM – Heat Pump Installation

The next job takes me to Plano, where we’re replacing an aging heat pump with a new, energy-efficient model. These installations typically take several hours, requiring precise attention to detail and proper calibration.

2:00 PM – Emergency Call

Between scheduled appointments, I receive an urgent call from Allen. An elderly resident’s AC system has completely shut down during the afternoon heat. We always prioritize emergency situations for vulnerable customers.

Key Daily Tasks Include:

• Diagnostic system checks
• Equipment repairs and replacements
• Preventative maintenance
• Customer education on system operation
• Documentation and service records

5:00 PM – Wrapping Up

As the day winds down, I ensure all paperwork is complete and my service vehicle is restocked for tomorrow. Every day brings different challenges, but keeping our North Texas neighbors comfortable makes it all worthwhile.

The best part of working at Joplin’s is knowing we’re helping communities from Prosper to Melissa stay comfortable year-round. Whether it’s a simple maintenance check or a complete system overhaul, we take pride in providing reliable HVAC services to our growing North Texas service area.
