6:00 AM – The Early Bird Gets the Worm

4:30 PM – One Last Stop in Lakeside
- Destination: Lakeside
- Issue: Routine maintenance on a commercial HVAC system
To wrap up the day, I head to a small business in Lakeside for a scheduled maintenance check on their HVAC system. A little preventative care now can save them from costly repairs down the line, and I’m happy to provide that peace of mind.

With the day’s work done, I head back to the office, where I’ll prepare for another busy day tomorrow. Being an HVAC technician is challenging, but knowing I’ve helped keep San Diego comfortable makes it all worthwhile.
