A Typical Day Keeping San Diego Cool – Life as an HVAC Tech

Morning Briefing – 6:30 AM

The day starts early at Jackson & Foster, where our team gathers for the morning dispatch meeting. With my service toolkit ready, I review the day’s appointments across El Cajon and Lemon Grove. The summer heat is already building, and we know it’s going to be a busy one.

First Call – 8:00 AM

My first stop takes me to Scripps Ranch, where a homeowner reports their AC isn’t cooling properly. These early morning calls are crucial, especially for families with young children or elderly residents who need reliable climate control.

Mid-Morning Service – 10:30 AM

Heading to Carmel Mountain, I tackle a preventative maintenance appointment. Regular maintenance is the backbone of our service, helping prevent costly breakdowns and ensuring systems run efficiently.

Lunch Break – 12:15 PM

A quick lunch in La Jolla between calls. I use this time to check updates from dispatch and prepare for afternoon appointments.

Afternoon Rush – 1:30 PM

The afternoon includes:
– Emergency repair in Lakeside
– System inspection in El Cajon
– Filter replacement in central San Diego

End of Day – 5:00 PM

Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork and prepare for tomorrow. Working at Jackson & Foster means being ready for anything – from basic maintenance to complex repairs across San Diego County.

Key Takeaways from Today:

– Covered 6 different communities
– Performed 3 major repairs
– Completed 2 maintenance checks
– Helped keep San Diego comfortable through another hot day

Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable, and that’s what makes this job rewarding.
