A/C repair is interesting.

Someone once inquired what it was like to be a certified Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C expert, and I told them it was rewarding work.

I could have been more effusive, but I was so bored by that point.

I wanted something more to do. I liked being an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C expert, but I thought that there was something more for me to do in my life. When I had a chance to become a certified Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C business rep, I was finally excited. I knew how to repair and install Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C systems, however now I could start building them. I could go into homes and inspect the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C systems for prospective purchasers and sellers. I worked with all kinds of people having houses built, so they had the perfect Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C systems for their needs. I also helped people decide what type of central Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system they want. The only problem with being a central Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C business rep was my interest. Being a Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C business is interesting, but I wanted to go a lot further. I went back to university for Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C engineering. I wasn’t just helping clients find the perfect central Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system for their needs, but I was learning how to build central Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C systems. I knew the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system inside and out, so I was helping to build one that was more economical and environmentally friendly. I’m not just punching a clock or having a task that is rewarding or interesting or even exciting. I loved being a Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C engineer, and I was doing something that would be very beneficial not for those this week, however for the future of Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C technology. It took almost fifteen years to get here, but I don’t begrudge any of the time I had to put in to get here.

I wasn’t convinced I wanted to be a Heating worker.

The only reason I went to the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C university was to make my stepdad happy. Ed wanted me to join his Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C corporation. I wasn’t convinced I wanted to be an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker, but I knew I had to go. Ed wouldn’t have asked me to be an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker if it wasn’t crucial to him. Ed had typically talked about giving his dealer to his first born, when he retired. I wasn’t his first born son, but I was his only son. My older sibling didn’t want to be an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker, and that left the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C dealership to me. It wasn’t until I went to Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C university that I knew I should be there. The excitement of the other students got me excited, and I couldn’t wait to get inside and learn all about heating, ventilation, and a/c. Ed was an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C dealership owner, although he didn’t bring his labor condo with him. He was introverted, and the only one Ed really talked to other than my mother, was his Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C workers. Ed was now talking to me about what I learned and asking if he could help me. It wasn’t until I was at my hand-on class that I found out that Ed was one of the teachers. I got to labor for his best friend, and competitor for two months, and after that I worked with Ed. I couldn’t feel how much fun I was having, and how quickly the time went, before I knew it, I was graduating from Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C university, and I was laboring on my certification. I was also looking forward to laboring with Ed and someday owning the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C corporation.

Heating repair parties are simply the best.

Until my partner Max became a pro Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker, I had never been to a dealership gathering.

When Max started talking about the BBQ the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C dealership owners had every year, I didn’t know if I wanted to attend.

My dad used to speak about the dealer picnics he went to until he had us women. He thought that taking young triplets to a dealer picnic was a little too much for most other people. He and mom thought they would go nuts when my pal and I were growing up, and he didn’t want to put anyone else through it. My associates and I are grown up now, and out on our own, but I remember dad not taking us to any of his labor events. This year, Max and my sibling-in-law labor at the same Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C biz, although I’m looking forward to spending the afternoon with one of my siblings, I’m not looking forward to attending the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C gathering. Max and I were talking about it last evening, and she was excited, and she told me she had heard a lot about the annual BBQ’s. The owner of the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C dealership had raffle tickets that got you anything from a gag gift to a three-day weekend without a beeper. I thought that could be nice, but I still didn’t know if I wanted to go. After she begged, I asked Max what time my pal and I had to leave for the BBQ. Max told me he had his beeper, although he would like to be there before dinner. Max and I didn’t know that whoever had the beeper had a definite prize of a three-day weekend at the beach.

Try being married to a Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker.

I’m not sure why so many people talk about Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C techs and how much sleep they don’t get, but no one ever talks about the wife of a Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker. There are no normal, set hours for my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker partner Sam. Sam is typically running late, or he is on call and I can’t keep up with him. I often eat without Sam, and his food is put in the microwave or the oven. I couldn’t tell you how numerous date evenings Sam and I have had interrupted because his beeper went off, and Sam needed to go back to work. It got to where Sam and I didn’t go out unless he had the entire weekend off, and often he would still be on call for emergencies. They typically need a backup for the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker who was on call. If another emergency came up and the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker was already handling an emergency, they had to have someone ready to go out. The last time Sam and I had an uninterrupted date evening, was when my pal and I were on a relaxing getaway. However, even then it wasn’t uninterrupted. Sam and I went into this current seafood restaurant that was on the waterfront. The humidity was abhorrent when you were outside, however it was even worse inside. Sam knew the a/c wasn’t laboring well. Instead of just asking if the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker was already on the way, he offered his knowledge. Sam said he didn’t feel it would take really long to repair, because he thought it was just a clogged air filter. The only great thing was that Sam and I got our dinner for free, and a voucher for another free dinner at some point in the future.

I didn’t understand what the Heating teacher said.

When I strolled into my first Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C classes, the teacher had changed our seating around; I typically go to the front of the room because I have a minor hearing problem.

I have hearing aids, however if I’m not right in the front row, I can barely distinguish between voices.

I have had this hearing problem since I was a kid, and I knew how to compensate for it, but when the teacher walked into the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C class, he shuffled around most people, but my associate and I were put according to last names, and I wound up in the back seat, and for the first hour, I had no idea what was going on, because I couldn’t hear what he was saying. I didn’t want to say something in front of the other people, although he was accusing me of not listening. When the class was put on a short break, he stopped me, he asked what was wrong with his teaching? I shook my head. He asked why I wasn’t listening, and told me I couldn’t have the earphones in while in his class. I chuckled and told him they were earphones. I was partially deaf and they were both of my hearing aids. He turned all shades of red, and asked why I wasn’t in the front row of the class… Once I reminded him I was until he changed around our seats, the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C teacher turned an even deeper shade of crimson. When class was back in session, he moved many of us, so it didn’t seem like he was just picking on me. He said they were shiny, happy Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C faces which needed to be seen more clearly.

Change the air filter?

He told him up until this winter, I didn’t know there were air filters in the HVAC system

I hated knowing there were problems with my air conditioning unit. Whenever there was anything wrong with the HVAC system, my husband tried to blame me. The last time there was a problem, the HVAC technician said it was because of a clogged air filter. There was no airflow, and it had caused the heat exchanger in the furnace to crack. We had to buy a new furnace, and my husband wasn’t happy. He told me I should have known something was wrong, and called the HVAC technician earlier. I wasn’t the one who fiddled with the furnace, and he should have known something was wrong. This time, my husband wasn’t home when the HVAC technician arrived. He told me the problem we were having was because of a clogged air filter. I knew there was an air filter in the furnace, but I didn’t know there was one in the AC unit. He told me the air filters needed to be changed at least every six weeks. It was the first defense against breakage and clean air in the house. He told him up until this winter, I didn’t know there were air filters in the HVAC system. If I didn’t know they had them, how could I change the air filters? He had me go outside with him, and he showed me where the air filter was. He then had me remove the air filter and showed me how to correctly insert the new one. If the job is that easy, I was sure I could do it, but not in the furnace.

 

heating and air conditioning

I didn’t know how to change an air filter.

My husband had left a list of chores he wanted to accomplish over the weekend, laying on the kitchen table. He told me he was going to try to complete all those chores, but I was sure he meant he wanted me to do what he couldn’t. Last month, he started cleaning the garage. He had three piles of stuff in the yard. He wanted me to go through everything, and see if there was anything I wanted, and then the rest could go in the trash bin. He also asked me to clean out the refrigerator in the garage, and while I was out there, he would appreciate it if I went out there and ran the shop vac for him, and then washed the windows. So much for him cleaning the garage. The interesting thing is that while in the garage, I found two cases of air filters. One was for the furnace and the other was for the air conditioning unit. I noticed there was a notation on his list that he had to change the air filter. I looked at the box to see if there were any directions on how to change the air filters, but I found nothing. Since my husband had changed the air filters on his list of chores, I didn’t do it. When he got home, he asked if I had changed the air filter in the air conditioning unit. I looked at him and said no, then asked why? He said it was on his weekend chore list, and he thought I may have done it. I didn’t know how to change the air filter, so why would I even consider doing it? He smiled and told me he would show me how.

Can you really diagnose your HVAC system?

When we thought about purchasing a new HVAC system, I started doing my research.

I wanted to make sure that whatever HVAC system we bought, had a good warranty to go with it. I was talking to my husband, and he told me to look at the reviews for the different HVAC systems. I should look somewhere other than on the HVAC website. They could be slightly prejudiced and not give any of the bad reviews. While looking through the different web pages, I found an interesting website. It was talking about how to diagnose your HVAC system. I called my husband into the room and showed him the website. I asked if you can really diagnose your HVAC system. He read through the entire website. He then told me that apparently you can do your own diagnosis. There was a lot to read, but it would be easy to pick out the different smells, sounds and peculiarities. Once you have your list, go to that website and input them. They would come up with a list of reasons for those symptoms. They even offered ways to fix the HVAC if they were simple fixes. If not, they recommended calling your HVAC company. He liked the website, and told me to bookmark it. If something happened to our new HVAC system, he would know how to fix it. I think I created Dr. Frankenstein. I could see him now with his handmade HVAC uniform, working on the air conditioner or the furnace. He would probably do more harm than good.

I wanted age protection for the AC unit.

They were advertising age protection for your skin, on the television.

They said it adds moisture to the skin without being greasy.

Your skin stayed smooth and supple without all the greasiness and feeling of heaviness most lotions left behind. I loved the idea of having smoother and younger looking skin. I was sixty and I could see how sallow my skin was. It was drying out, and getting the look of alligator skin. I heard the grinding sound coming from my air conditioning unit. I wanted age protection for my AC unit. It was only ten years old, but it was sounding and acting like it was much older. If they had age protection for the AC unit, it would last a lot longer than fifteen years. I called the HVAC company and asked for an HVAC technician. When he got to the house, I asked if they had age protection? He gave me an odd look, but he said little. I told him how they can protect the skin against aging. I wanted to know if we could protect the AC unit against aging. He told me that is what regular cleaning and maintenance was for. Changing the air filter regularly was the first defense against the air conditioning or furnace from aging too quickly. He then told me about a maintenance and repair plan they offered. Once he started telling me how much it cost, I rejected it but I continued thinking about it and realized I paid that much every time they came to the house.

Put your pets away before HVAC tech arrives.

He told me I had to put her away if I wanted the air conditioning unit repaired.

Whenever I call the HVAC company, the first thing they tell me is to put your pet away before the HVAC tech arrives. You would think they would get tired of saying this, but it wasn’t so. I didn’t have pets when I first moved into the house. I didn’t care about the reasons why you had to put your pets away. When my husband left, I bought a dog for company and for security. Phoebe was part pitbull, but she was afraid of her own shadow. I never thought of her as a dangerous animal, but most people think pitbulls were the devil’s spawn. My father told me animals were the product of their owner, and he could never see Phoebe being mean. When I called the HVAC company for service on my air conditioning unit, I again got the warning about putting my pets away. I thanked her, and didn’t think about Phoebe. She was roaming the house when the HVAC technician arrived. He took one look at Phoebe and blanched. He told me I had to put her away if I wanted the air conditioning unit repaired. I told him Phoebe would remain inside, and he didn’t need to come in the house. I would come outside and talk to him when the air conditioning unit was serviced. He looked at Phoebe and told me if he saw her at the door he was leaving. I couldn’t believe anyone would be so cowed by a puppy, but the HVAC technician was acting like she was a wild animal.
