6:00 AM – Starting the Day
The morning starts early at R. H. Witt, especially during the peak heating season. After grabbing my service tablet and checking the day’s heating system maintenance appointments, I load up the van with common replacement parts and diagnostic tools.
7:30 AM – First Call in Glenview
My first stop is a routine furnace inspection in Glenview. These preventive maintenance calls are crucial for keeping heating systems running efficiently throughout the winter months. I check:
- Heat exchanger integrity
- Thermostat calibration
- Filter condition
- Blower motor performance
10:00 AM – Emergency Call in Northbrook
An urgent call comes in from Northbrook – a family’s furnace stopped working overnight. These situations remind me why we maintain 24/7 emergency availability. After diagnosing the issue, I discover a failed igniter, which I’m able to replace quickly.
1:00 PM – Winnetka Service Visit
After lunch, I head to Winnetka for a scheduled maintenance call. Regular service helps prevent those middle-of-the-night emergencies that nobody wants to experience. I take time to explain to the homeowner how to maintain their system between professional visits.
3:30 PM – Highland Park Repair
The day concludes with a heating repair in Highland Park. Working across the North Shore communities means each day brings different challenges and opportunities to help keep our neighbors warm and comfortable.
5:00 PM – Wrapping Up
Back at the shop, I complete my service reports and prep for tomorrow. Another satisfying day helping maintain comfortable homes across Chicago’s northern suburbs.
Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing heating emergencies. Schedule your furnace check-up before the cold weather hits full force!
