I was surprised when I called the local heating and a/c company and I got the busy signal.
The second time I called, I was localed on hold.
I was undoubtedly on hold for about 15 minutes before a receptionist picked up. I was trying to call the heating and a/c contractor to redeem a discount coupon I had earned in the mail for being a loyal customer. I tried to schedule an appointment, but to my surprise, I wouldn’t be able to get heating and a/c maintenance for a month! That was crazy, and I had never seen the a/c companies this busy before. I went ahead and busy the appointment, that way I could still redeem my coupon. I guess it wasn’t that hard to figure out why they might be undoubtedly busy. After all, I wasn’t the only one who earned those coupons, as it was winter, and that is usually the time when a lot of heating and a/c companies are busy as it is. Out of curiosity, I called around to other local Heating and Air Conditioning corporations, and they were also fairly busy. Although I could get an earlier appointment with these other businesses, I decided to stick with my new one, because otherwise I would miss out on my coupon, and besides, I don’t need Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance urgently or anything like that. I just feel disappointing for those people who do need a/c maintenance urgently, because they are going to be waiting a few weeks. I’m cheerful I called when I did, before they became even busier.
