Morning Rounds: 6:00 AM
The day starts early at Alan Energy Services, especially during the peak winter season. After a quick check of the day’s wind chill forecast, I grab my service tablet and review emergency calls that came in overnight.
First Call: 7:30 AM
Today’s first stop is in Villa Park, where a family woke up to a cold house. These emergency furnace calls are our top priority, especially when temperatures drop below freezing. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a failed ignitor – a common but crucial repair that needs immediate attention.
Mid-Morning: 10:00 AM
Between service calls, I head to Lombard for a scheduled maintenance appointment. Regular furnace maintenance is critical for preventing those middle-of-the-night emergencies. I perform a comprehensive check, including:
• Inspecting heat exchangers
• Testing safety controls
• Cleaning burners
• Checking electrical connections
• Calibrating the thermostat
Afternoon: 2:00 PM
The dispatch routes me to Oak Brook for a ductless HVAC consultation. More homeowners are discovering the benefits of these efficient systems, especially for home additions or spaces where traditional ductwork isn’t practical.
End of Day: 5:00 PM
Before heading back to headquarters, I complete one final furnace service in Westchester. I take pride in knowing that each home I visit will stay warm and comfortable through another Illinois winter night.
