A Day in the Life: HVAC Adventures with C. Albert Matthews
Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine
My day as a technician at C. Albert Matthews begins bright and early. After a quick breakfast, I’m off to our headquarters in Easton, MD, to prepare for the day ahead. Our team huddles for a brief meeting, discussing the schedule and any urgent calls that came in overnight.
First Stop: AC Service in Cambridge, MD
Today’s first appointment takes me to a residential property in Cambridge. The homeowner reported their air conditioning unit making strange noises. Upon arrival, I conduct a thorough inspection, identifying a loose fan belt as the culprit. With a few adjustments and some lubrication, the AC is purring like a kitten again.
Midday: Heating System Check in Easton, MD
After a quick lunch break, I head back to Easton for a routine heating system check at a local business. Although it’s summer, many of our commercial clients prefer year-round maintenance to avoid surprises when the cold weather hits. I perform a comprehensive inspection, clean the filters, and ensure everything is in top working order.
Afternoon: Plumbing Emergency in Algonquin, MD
Just as I’m wrapping up in Easton, I receive an urgent call about a plumbing issue in Algonquin. A homeowner is dealing with a burst pipe, and water is quickly filling their basement. I rush to the scene, locate the main water shut-off valve, and get to work repairing the damaged section of pipe.
Wrapping Up: Back to Base
After a busy day of HVAC and plumbing work, I return to our Easton office to complete my paperwork and debrief with the team. We discuss any challenging situations encountered during the day and share tips for improving our service.
Working at C. Albert Matthews means every day is different, filled with new challenges and opportunities to help our community stay comfortable and safe. It’s a rewarding career that keeps me on my toes and allows me to make a real difference in people’s lives.
