A Day in the Life: Keeping South Bend Warm, One Furnace at a Time

6:00 AM – Rise and Shine

The day begins early at Four Winds Custom Heating and Air Conditioning. After checking the day’s service schedule, I grab my morning coffee and ensure my service van is fully stocked with essential parts and diagnostic tools.

7:30 AM – First Call in Mishawaka

Our first stop is a residential call in Mishawaka where an older furnace isn’t producing enough heat. These winter mornings in Indiana can be brutal, so prompt service is essential. After a thorough inspection, I identify a failing blower motor – a common issue during peak heating season.

10:00 AM – Emergency Call in Granger

Between scheduled appointments, we receive an urgent call from Granger. A family’s heating system has completely shut down. This takes priority, especially with temperatures hovering near freezing. These situations remind me why preventative maintenance is so crucial.

1:00 PM – Furnace Replacement Consultation

After lunch, I head to Osceola for a consultation. The homeowners need guidance on replacing their 20-year-old furnace. I walk them through their options, explaining efficiency ratings and system sizes that would best suit their home.

3:30 PM – Routine Maintenance in Elkhart

The afternoon includes several routine maintenance calls in Elkhart. I perform:

• Filter replacements
• System inspections
• Safety checks
• Efficiency testing

5:00 PM – Wrapping Up in South Bend

The day ends with paperwork and preparing for tomorrow’s schedule. Being part of the Four Winds team means ensuring our neighbors throughout the region stay warm and comfortable, no matter what Indiana weather throws at us.

Remember, regular maintenance can prevent most heating emergencies. Don’t wait until your furnace fails to give it the attention it needs.
