A Day in the Trenches: Life as an Advantage Service Co Technician

Rise and Shine

My alarm blares at 5:30 AM, and I’m up before the sun. As an Advantage Service Co technician, early mornings are part of the job. I gulp down some coffee and check my work schedule for the day.

First Call: Plumbing Emergency

By 7 AM, I’m on the road to Cabot, AR. A homeowner has a burst pipe, and it’s all hands on deck. I arrive, assess the situation, and get to work. Water damage can be severe, so time is of the essence.

Midday: Electrical Troubleshooting

After wrapping up in Cabot, I head to Sherwood for an electrical service call. A family’s having issues with flickering lights and tripping breakers. It takes some detective work, but I eventually trace the problem to an overloaded circuit.

Lunch Break

I grab a quick sandwich between calls. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps me fueled for the afternoon ahead.

Afternoon: Routine Maintenance

The rest of my day involves:

  • Performing a scheduled plumbing inspection for a local business
  • Replacing an outdated electrical panel in a residential home
  • Answering customer queries about our services

Wrapping Up

As the sun sets, I finish my last call of the day. Before heading home, I update my job reports and prepare my van for tomorrow’s adventures.

Working for Advantage Service Co is challenging but rewarding. Every day brings new problems to solve and people to help. It’s not just a job; it’s a commitment to keeping our community’s homes and businesses running smoothly.
