A Winter Day Solving Heating Emergencies in Manchester
Morning Preparations – 6:30 AM
The day starts early when you’re in the heating business, especially during New Hampshire winters. After my morning coffee, I check the day’s schedule on my tablet. Today includes three heating system inspections and what sounds like an urgent furnace repair in Bedford.
First Call – 8:00 AM
The morning begins with a routine maintenance check in Hooksett. These preventative service calls are crucial – they help homeowners avoid emergency breakdowns during those bitter cold nights. I inspect the furnace, change filters, and check all components for wear and tear.
Emergency Call – 10:30 AM
My scheduled routine gets interrupted by an urgent call from Manchester – an elderly couple’s heating system stopped working overnight. This takes priority. Upon arrival, I diagnose a failed ignitor, thankfully a straightforward fix we can handle on the spot.
Afternoon Schedule – 1:00 PM
After lunch, I head to Concord for a furnace replacement consultation. The homeowner’s unit is over 20 years old and showing its age. I walk them through their options, explaining the benefits of newer, energy-efficient models.
Key tasks in my typical day include:
- Emergency heating repairs
- Preventative maintenance checks
- System installation consultations
- Filter replacements
- Thermostat programming
End of Day – 5:00 PM
Before heading home, I complete my service reports and prepare the van for tomorrow. Working at Paradigm Plumbing, Heating & AC means being ready for anything – from quick fixes to complete system overhauls. It’s satisfying knowing we help keep our neighbors warm during those harsh New Hampshire winters.
Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing those middle-of-the-night emergency calls. Your heating system works hard during our long winters, and giving it proper attention pays off in reliability and efficiency.
