When I walked into my very first Heating and Air Conditioning class, I found the instructor assigned our seats! I consistently prefer to go to the front of the room because I have a minor hearing problem. I have 2 hearing aids, but if I’m not in the front, I can’t distinguish between different voices. […]

Try being the husband of a Heating specialist.
I’m not sure why everyone thinks Heating and Air Conditioning specialists are lucky, and they get a lot of sleep – but no one ever thinks about the husband of an Heating and Air Conditioning specialist. There are no set hours for my Heating and Air Conditioning specialist husband Ed. Ed is consistently running late, […]
The Heating tech said our furnace was about to die.
My husband Biff and I had talked about getting a whole-household air purification system installed. I knew Biff and I had to call an Heating and Air Conditioning corporation. There had to be a few unusual things which needed done when installing a whole-household air purification system. Biff called the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor […]
Being an Air Conditioning contractor is interesting work.
Someone once asked me if I liked being a Heating and Air Conditioning specialist, and I told them it was very rewarding work. I could have been more effusive, but I was bored with it all. I wanted something more to do. I liked being an Heating and Air Conditioning pro, but I thought there […]
Heating and Air Conditioning ads weren’t for me.
When I talked about becoming the owner of a local Heating and Air Conditioning corporation, I was thinking about all the tasks I didn’t want to do. One of the scariest things about owning a small contractor biz is wondering how you were going to get clients. My husband Sam was gleeful and told me […]
Old-school Air Conditioning isn’t for everyone.
A traditional furnace and central a/c was a thought, but Ed and I chose ductless Heating and Air Conditioning. When I was a lot younger, I thought everyone used a furnace and window a/c units, or no a/c at all. I didn’t know there were unusual heating and a/c units back then. It wasn’t until […]
Heating and Air Conditioning work parties are fun.
Until my husband Ed became a Heating and Air Conditioning specialist, I had never been to a big contractor party. When Ed started talking about the BBQ the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor owner held every year, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go. My Mom used to talk about the contractor picnics he went […]
You don’t need to be a man to hire an HVAC tech.
Before I moved, I had an HVAC company that was loath to talk to you if you weren’t a man. They thought only a man should hire an HVAC technician. I always thought that was very backward thinking, but to be honest, that was one job I wanted my husband to do. I didn’t care […]
Are you sure it isn’t the thermostat?
I didn’t want to go without air conditioning. I’m not one of these people who puts my money ahead of my comfort. When I first got air conditioning, my husband didn’t think it was necessary. He said the window air conditioning units worked well, and they were cheaper. When they began dying one-by-one, he wanted […]
I worried the HVAC tech wouldn't make it.
Last week, I called the HVAC technician and asked them to send someone over and look at the air conditioning unit. I hadn’t used it yet this summer, and I wanted it inspected and cleaned before I turned it on. We had a couple of days in the mid-eighties, but now the humidity was coming […]
When you know, don’t be afraid to tell the HVAC tech.
I had been perusing the internet the last couple of months. I was looking for information on a new HVAC system. My husband and I had been talking about getting a new HVAC system, but it had to wait until this one no longer worked. We weren’t going to get rid of a working furnace […]
I didn’t think I’d need a furnace.
When I lived in the north, I hated it. I kept saying that when I got old enough to leave my parents house, I was going to move south. I was never warm enough, regardless of how good the furnace was working. When I moved south, I didn’t think I’d need a furnace. I thought […]
