Morning Hustle
My day at Jackson & Foster starts bright and early at 7 AM. After grabbing a quick coffee, I head to our headquarters in San Diego to check the day’s schedule. Today, I’m assigned to three different jobs across La Mesa and El Cajon.
First Stop: AC Installation
By 8:30 AM, I’m at my first appointment in La Mesa. The homeowners have decided to upgrade their old system, and I’m here to install a brand-new, energy-efficient air conditioner. This job typically takes about 4-6 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation.
Lunch Break
Around 1 PM, I take a quick lunch break. I often use this time to catch up on any messages from the office or prepare for my afternoon appointments.
Afternoon: AC Repair in El Cajon
My next stop is in El Cajon, where a client has reported their air conditioner is blowing warm air. After a thorough inspection, I discover a refrigerant leak. I explain the situation to the homeowner and proceed with the necessary repairs.
Evening: Emergency Call in Lemon Grove
Just as I’m wrapping up in El Cajon, I receive an emergency call from our dispatch. A family in Lemon Grove is without air conditioning on a scorching summer day. I head over immediately to diagnose and fix the issue, ensuring the family can enjoy a cool, comfortable evening.
End of Day
After completing the emergency repair, I head back to the Jackson & Foster office to file my reports and prepare for the next day. It’s been a long but satisfying day of helping people stay comfortable in their homes.
