A Day of Keeping New England Warm – Adventures of a HVAC Professional


6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

The day starts early in the heating and cooling business, especially during the bitter New England winters. After checking my service schedule, I see I’m covering Saugus and Melrose today, with a potential emergency call in Wakefield. First up is a routine furnace service in Saugus, followed by what sounds like a tricky heating repair in Melrose.

7:30 AM – First Call

Arriving at the Saugus residence, I’m greeted by a homeowner who’s been diligently maintaining their heating system with Max Heating and Cooling for years. These preventative maintenance calls are crucial – they help avoid those middle-of-the-night emergency repairs that nobody wants to deal with.

10:00 AM – Emergency Call

Just as I’m wrapping up in Saugus, dispatch calls about an urgent heating repair in Melrose. An older furnace has stopped working, and with temperatures dropping, this takes priority. This is why we always keep our trucks fully stocked with common replacement parts.

Key Tasks Today:

  • Annual furnace maintenance check
  • Filter replacement and system cleaning
  • Emergency heating repair
  • Consultation for potential furnace replacement

3:00 PM – Consultation Time

The afternoon takes me to Lynnfield for a furnace replacement consultation. After 15 years of service, their current system is showing its age. I enjoy these conversations because I can help homeowners understand their options for more efficient heating solutions.

5:00 PM – Wrapping Up

As the day winds down, I ensure all my paperwork is complete and my truck is restocked for tomorrow. Serving communities from Winchester to Arlington requires organization and preparation. Whether it’s a simple furnace service or a complete system replacement, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our neighbors stay comfortable.

Remember, regular maintenance is the key to avoiding those unexpected breakdowns. We’re always here when you need us, serving communities throughout the North Shore and Greater Boston area, keeping homes warm through every New England winter.
