A Day of Keeping Marion County Warm: Life as a Sunshine AC Service Tech

6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

The day begins early at Sunshine Air Conditioning, as we serve communities across Marion County and beyond. After reviewing the day’s service calls with my morning coffee, I load up the service van with essential parts and tools.

7:30 AM – First Call in The Villages

Our first stop is a heating emergency in The Villages. An elderly couple’s furnace stopped working overnight, and with temperatures dropping into the 40s, it’s crucial to get their system back up and running quickly. The diagnosis reveals a faulty ignitor – a common issue during the heating season.

10:00 AM – Scheduled Maintenance in Belleview

Next up is routine furnace maintenance for a long-time customer in Belleview. Preventive care is essential for keeping heating systems running efficiently throughout the winter months. The checklist includes:

  • Inspecting heat exchangers
  • Testing safety controls
  • Cleaning burners
  • Checking electrical connections
  • Calibrating thermostats

1:00 PM – Heater Installation in Summerfield

The afternoon brings us to Summerfield for a complete heating system installation. This job requires precision and attention to detail to ensure the new unit operates at peak efficiency.

4:30 PM – Emergency Call in Ocala

Just as we’re wrapping up, we receive an urgent call from Silver Springs Shores. A family’s heating system is blowing cold air – not ideal for a chilly Florida evening. After thorough diagnostics, we identify and repair a failed transformer.

6:00 PM – Day’s End

Heading back to headquarters, I complete the day’s paperwork and prepare the van for tomorrow. It’s satisfying knowing we’ve helped keep our neighbors comfortable throughout Marion County and surrounding areas.

Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing heating emergencies. At Sunshine Air Conditioning, we’re committed to keeping our communities warm and comfortable during those cooler Florida months.
