Morning Briefing – 6:30 AM
The day starts early at Roger’s Plumbing & Heating, as winter in South Dakota waits for no one. After a quick cup of coffee, I review the day’s schedule of heating service calls across the Sioux Falls metro area.
First Call – 7:30 AM
Our first stop is in Brandon, where a family’s furnace decided to quit during the night. These emergency calls are common during cold snaps, and we pride ourselves on quick response times. After a thorough inspection, it’s a failed igniter – a relatively straightforward fix that gets heat flowing again.
Mid-Morning – 10:00 AM
Heading to Harrisburg for a scheduled maintenance check. Preventative maintenance is crucial in our region, where temperatures can plummet without warning. I clean the system, check connections, and replace the filter. The homeowner is grateful for the thorough inspection and tips for maintaining efficiency.
Afternoon Tasks
The afternoon includes:
– A furnace replacement consultation in Tea
– Two heating service calls in Sioux Falls
– A quick emergency call in Shindler
End of Day – 5:00 PM
Before heading home, I complete my service reports and prepare for tomorrow. Working in heating services means being ready for anything – from simple maintenance to complete system overhauls. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our neighbors stay warm and comfortable.
The most rewarding part of working in our community is knowing that we’re helping families stay safe and warm during those harsh South Dakota winters. Whether it’s a routine check or an emergency repair, each call matters because it’s more than just a furnace – it’s someone’s home comfort we’re protecting.
