5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
The day starts early at Magtek Mechanical, especially during the peak heating season. As I grab my morning coffee, I’m already checking the service schedule on my tablet. Winter in Illinois doesn’t wait for anyone, and neither do we.
7:00 AM – First Call of the Day
Today’s first stop is in New Lenox, where a family’s furnace stopped working overnight. The temperature dropped to 15 degrees, making this an urgent call. After a thorough diagnostic check, I found a failed ignitor – a common but crucial component that needs immediate attention.
10:30 AM – Scheduled Maintenance
Heading to Joliet for preventative maintenance on a newer heating system. These routine checks are vital for:
– Ensuring optimal efficiency
– Preventing unexpected breakdowns
– Extending system lifespan
– Maintaining manufacturer warranties
1:00 PM – Heater Installation
The afternoon takes me to Frankfort for a complete heating system replacement. Working alongside my teammate, we carefully remove the old unit and install a new high-efficiency system. These installations are particularly satisfying, knowing we’re providing long-term comfort for our customers.
4:30 PM – Emergency Call
Just as I’m wrapping up in Frankfort, we get an emergency call from Tinley Park. A family with young children has no heat. These situations remind me why we maintain 24/7 availability – because comfort and safety can’t wait until morning.
6:00 PM – Day’s End
After ensuring the family in Tinley Park has heat again, I head back to base to complete paperwork and prep for tomorrow. While the days can be long during heating season, knowing that we’re keeping our communities warm makes it all worthwhile.
Every day at Magtek Mechanical brings new challenges and opportunities to help our neighbors stay comfortable through the Illinois winters. Whether it’s a simple maintenance check in Mokena or an emergency repair in New Lenox, we’re always ready to respond with professional service and expertise.
