A Winter Morning Rush Keeping South Dakota Homes Warm

6:00 AM – Starting the Day

The winter morning starts early at Roger’s Plumbing & Heating. As I pull into our Sioux Falls headquarters, the thermometer reads a brisk -5°F. Today promises to be another busy day serving our neighbors throughout the region.

7:30 AM – First Emergency Call

Our first call comes from a residential heating system failure in Brandon. An older furnace decided to quit during the coldest snap of the year. After diagnosing the issue, we’re able to get the family’s heat restored within two hours.

10:00 AM – Scheduled Maintenance

The late morning takes me to Harrisburg for preventative maintenance appointments. These regular check-ups are crucial for:
• Ensuring efficient system operation
• Preventing unexpected breakdowns
• Extending equipment lifespan
• Maintaining warranty coverage

1:00 PM – New Installation Project

After lunch, I head to Tea for a complete furnace replacement. The homeowners opted for a high-efficiency model that will significantly reduce their energy bills. These installations typically take 4-6 hours, requiring precise attention to detail.

5:00 PM – Final Service Call

The day wraps up with a heating service call in Ellis. A simple thermostat recalibration gets the system running smoothly again. It’s satisfying knowing another family will stay warm tonight.

6:30 PM – Day’s End

Back at headquarters, I complete paperwork and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule. While the days are long during winter, keeping our community comfortable makes it all worthwhile.

The most rewarding part of working in heating services is knowing we help maintain safe, warm homes throughout the Sioux Falls area and surrounding communities. Whether it’s a routine maintenance check in Shindler or an emergency repair in downtown Sioux Falls, every call matters when temperatures drop below freezing.

Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing those middle-of-the-night emergency calls. Stay warm, South Dakota!
