6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The day begins early at Blue Hills Mechanical, especially during the peak winter season. After grabbing my insulated coffee mug and checking my work tablet for the day’s schedule, I head out to my service van while most of Weymouth is still sleeping.
7:00 AM – First Call
My first appointment is in Braintree for a routine furnace maintenance check. These preventive service calls are crucial for keeping heating systems running efficiently throughout the winter months. I inspect the:
- Heat exchanger
- Burners and ignition system
- Blower motor
- Air filters
- Safety controls
10:30 AM – Emergency Call
I receive an urgent call from dispatch about a no-heat situation in Milton. When temperatures are dropping, these calls take priority. After diagnosing the issue, I discover a failed thermostat requiring immediate replacement.
1:00 PM – Lunch Break
A quick lunch in Randolph between calls gives me time to warm up and review my afternoon schedule.
2:00 PM – Furnace Replacement Consultation
Meeting with a homeowner in Norwood to discuss their aging system. We review energy-efficient options and provide an estimate for a complete system replacement.
4:30 PM – Final Service Call
The day ends with a maintenance call in Hingham, where I perform a thorough cleaning and tune-up of their heating system. These regular maintenance visits help prevent emergency breakdowns during the coldest days.
6:00 PM – Day’s End
Back at the shop, I complete my service reports and prepare my van for tomorrow’s calls. Another satisfying day helping our local communities stay warm and comfortable during the Massachusetts winter.
Remember, regular furnace maintenance isn’t just about comfort – it’s about safety and efficiency. At Blue Hills Mechanical, we’re proud to serve our South Shore communities with reliable heating services year-round.
