by Morning Briefing – 6:30 AM
The day starts early at Blue Hills Mechanical, as we gather for our morning dispatch meeting. The weather forecast shows temperatures dropping into the low 20s, which means our emergency service calls will likely increase throughout the day.
First Call – 7:30 AM
Our first stop is in Weymouth, where a family woke up to a cold house. Their aging furnace needs immediate attention. After a thorough diagnostic check, I identify a faulty ignitor and failing limit switch. Fortunately, we stock these common parts in our service vehicles, allowing for prompt repairs.
Mid-Morning – 9:45 AM
Heading to Braintree for a scheduled heater installation consultation. The homeowner is looking to upgrade their 15-year-old system to a more efficient model. We discuss options, energy savings, and schedule the installation for next week.
Afternoon Rush – 1:30 PM
Between calls in Milton and Randolph, our team stays busy with:
• Preventative maintenance checks
• Filter replacements
• Emergency heating repairs
• System efficiency evaluations
Late Afternoon – 4:15 PM
The final scheduled stop is in Hingham for a routine furnace service. While performing maintenance, I identify potential issues that could cause problems later in the season. The homeowner appreciates the proactive approach, scheduling follow-up work before any emergency situations arise.
End of Day – 6:00 PM
Back at headquarters, we complete paperwork, restock our service vehicles, and prepare for tomorrow. Working in the South Shore area means being ready for anything, from sudden coastal weather changes to urgent heating needs in our historic homes.
Serving our local communities brings new challenges every day, but there’s nothing more satisfying than ensuring our neighbors stay warm and comfortable through New England’s harsh winters.
