Morning Preparations
The day starts early at Apex Plumbing & Mechanical. By 6:30 AM, I’m already at our service center checking my work orders and loading up the van with essential tools and parts. There’s something satisfying about organizing your equipment, knowing each tool could be crucial for the day ahead.
First Calls
Today’s schedule begins with a routine HVAC maintenance check at a commercial building. These preventive services are vital – they help catch potential issues before they become major problems. I inspect ductwork, change filters, and ensure the system is running at peak efficiency.
Emergency Response
Around midday, dispatch radios in with an urgent call. A burst pipe at a residential property requires immediate attention. This is where our training really shows its worth. Within minutes, I’m redirecting to the emergency, equipped with everything needed to handle water damage control and pipe repair.

Afternoon Tasks
The afternoon typically involves scheduled installations or more complex repairs. Today, I’m upgrading an older heating system to a more energy-efficient model. These modern installations are rewarding because they help clients save money while reducing their environmental impact.
End of Day
Before heading home, there’s paperwork to complete, inventory to check, and tomorrow’s schedule to review. It’s been another fulfilling day of helping people maintain comfortable, safe environments in their homes and businesses.
