What does the day look like?
You discuss faults with users, test electrical circuits with a multimeter, and repair or replace wiring and equipment. You use manifold gauges, vacuum pumps, leak detectors, acetylene torches, and pipe-fitting tools. You install thermostats and timers, test and braze pipe joints, and reclaim refrigerant. Routine work also includes replacing filters and cleaning coils and ducts.
Commissioning a new split system is the smaller, more attractive part of the day. Most time goes into diagnosis, repeat maintenance visits, work-order records, and driving between sites. You work on roofs and in unconditioned plant rooms, around noise and contaminants, using protective equipment. Seasonal peaks bring overtime and on-call rotas. Breakdown calls can happen in the evening or at weekends, while night work is common on commercial refrigeration, hospital, and data-centre contracts.
