Early Morning Preparations

My day as a service technician starts before the Alabama sun peeks over the horizon. By 6:30 AM, I’m already at Grissom Service Company, reviewing the day’s schedule and loading my service van with essential parts and tools. The morning air is crisp, and I know it won’t stay that way for long in Birmingham.

First Calls of the Day

The morning typically begins with preventative maintenance appointments in Hoover. These routine checks are crucial for keeping systems running efficiently and preventing future breakdowns. I inspect refrigerant levels, clean coils, and ensure everything’s operating at peak performance.

Midday Emergency Calls

By lunch, the summer heat is in full force, and emergency calls start coming in. A family in Mountain Brook needs urgent assistance with their AC system. These situations require quick thinking and efficient problem-solving skills – something that comes with years of experience in the field.

Afternoon Installation Project

The afternoon is dedicated to a scheduled installation project. Working with modern HVAC systems requires constant education and adaptation to new technologies. Every installation is different, requiring careful attention to detail and precise measurements.

End of Day Wrap-Up

  • Complete service documentation
  • Restock van supplies
  • Review next day’s schedule
  • Clean and organize tools

As the day winds down, I take pride in knowing that I’ve helped maintain comfort in homes across the Birmingham area. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our community, and that’s what makes this profession rewarding.

The satisfaction of solving problems and helping families stay comfortable in their homes makes every early morning worth it. Whether it’s a routine maintenance check or an emergency repair, each service call is an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to quality service.
