Morning Brief – 7:30 AM
The winter chill greets me as I arrive at our Energy Services headquarters in Glen Ellyn. After a quick team meeting, we review the day’s schedule of residential heating systems that need attention across the community.
First Call – 9:00 AM
Our first stop is a 1990s home where the homeowners have been experiencing inconsistent heating. After a thorough inspection, it’s clear their aging furnace is struggling to maintain efficiency. I spend time explaining their options, including the benefits of modern high-efficiency systems.
What We Typically Look For:
- Age of existing equipment
- Energy efficiency ratings
- Signs of wear and tear
- Current heating costs
- Home size and heating requirements
Afternoon Projects – 1:00 PM
The bulk of my afternoon involves supervising a new heater installation in a Glen Ellyn subdivision. These installations typically take 4-6 hours, during which we ensure everything meets local building codes and our strict quality standards.
End of Day – 5:00 PM
Before heading home, I complete necessary paperwork and prepare for tomorrow’s scheduled maintenance calls. Working in winter weather can be challenging, but knowing we’re keeping our neighbors warm makes it worthwhile.
Remember, if your furnace is over 15 years old or showing signs of decline, it’s wise to consider a replacement before it fails during the coldest months. Energy Services is here to help make that transition as smooth as possible for Glen Ellyn residents.
Key Takeaways:
- Regular maintenance extends system life
- Modern systems offer significant energy savings
- Professional installation ensures optimal performance
- Early replacement prevents emergency situations
Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to serve our community, ensuring everyone stays comfortable during Illinois’ challenging winters.
