5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
The day starts early in the HVAC service world. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I double-check my service van’s inventory of essential parts and tools. Working at Basin Service means being prepared for anything, especially during the cold Moses Lake winters.
7:00 AM – First Call
The morning begins with an urgent heating system repair in Ephrata. A family woke up to a cold house, and with temperatures dropping below freezing, this takes priority. After diagnosing a faulty igniter and replacing it, their furnace is humming again.
10:00 AM – Scheduled Installation
Next up is a ductless HVAC installation in Othello. These systems are becoming increasingly popular because they:
- Offer both heating and cooling
- Provide zone-specific temperature control
- Save energy and reduce utility bills
- Install with minimal disruption
2:00 PM – Maintenance Checks
The afternoon involves routine maintenance visits around Moses Lake. Regular maintenance is crucial for:
- Extending system lifespan
- Preventing unexpected breakdowns
- Maintaining efficiency
- Ensuring safe operation
4:30 PM – Emergency Call
Just before heading back, we get an urgent furnace repair call. Winter weather keeps us busy, but ensuring our community stays warm is what makes this job rewarding.
5:30 PM – Wrap Up
Back at the shop, I restock supplies and file service reports. Another satisfying day of keeping our Eastern Washington neighbors comfortable, no matter the weather outside.
Remember: Regular maintenance prevents most heating emergencies. Don’t wait until your system fails to give it attention!
