New and Modern HVAC Equipment

Our son told us he wanted to go to the HVAC technician’s school. I was concerned with his choice of careers because of the difficulties he had in high school. He was in special needs classes because of his lack of comprehension. He had to work three times as hard as most students to get through his studies and retain what he was learning. I thought he was setting himself up for failure, but my husband told me to stay out of it. It was our son’s decision to go to HVAC technical school, and he was sure he would be fine. I’m not sure who those first weeks were more difficult on; me or my son. I was always fretting that he was going to come home and tell me they kicked him out of class, but he didn’t. He holed up in the den with his father, and they studied together. After six weeks, he was understanding what he was doing and doing it well. By the end of the year, he was at the top of his class, and going out on training sessions with his HVAC instructor. The next hurdle he had to overcome was the certification classes. Once again, he and his father were in the den, studying together nearly every night. When the instructor ask him to be the apprentice at his HVAC company, I wasn’t sure who was more proud: him or his father. I know my son commented he owed it all to his father, who had probably become just as an HVAC technician as he did over the last 16 months.

I knew a man whose last name was Sister.

We lived across the street from each other, and he loved sitting outside.

He was a nice guy and he and I would often sit on the porch and chat long into the evening before he moved in with his daughter, almost a hundred miles away. After getting my certification as an HVAC technician, I looked for a permanent position with a local HVAC company. When I saw that the Sisters HVAC company was hiring, I immediately thought of Mr. Sister, who lived across the street, and wondered if they were related. I went to the Sisters HVAC company and put in an application. I didn’t think I would get a response right away, but I was wrong. Two days later, I was called to go in for an interview. The HVAC technicians were friendly when I walked in, and they all asked if I was the new HVAC recruit. I explained I was just there for an interview. The one guy told me that the one sister was a piece of work and if I wasn’t careful, they would chew me up, and spit me out. I thought they were trying to scare me off, and it almost worked. When I sat down in the office, a woman walked in. She was almost six feet tall, and dressed in an HVAC uniform. Two minutes later, two more women walked in. when they said it was the Sisters HVAC Company, they meant it. They were triplets and all HVAC technicians. I got questioned by all of them, and I must have given them the answers they wanted. They hired me that same day.

She told me they had been established for almost six years, and she was looking for a good man.

For years, my wife had been looking for the perfect job. When her boss offered her a transfer and a new title, she couldn’t resist. I was an HVAC technician and knew I could find a job wherever we lived. What I didn’t plan on doing was finding a job the day after we moved. We were supposed to be moving into our new home when the neighbor came over to introduce himself. We were talking about my wife’s job, and he asked what I was going to do? He was an affable guy, and I told him I was an HVAC technician. He laughed and said that was amazing. His daughter ran an HVAC company, and they were looking to hire a man. He gave me her business card and asked me to call her. That afternoon, I was in the HVAC company owner’s office, waiting for him to arrive. She arrived five minutes after I sat down and apologized for being late. I had seen no other HVAC technicians milling around, and I thought this may be a new company. She told me they had been established for almost six years, and she was looking for a good man. I asked her how many HVAC technicians they had, and she told me there were twelve, but there were still some customers who preferred a male HVAC technician over a female. She asked if I was interested in being the only man in an all girl HVAC company? I didn’t need to think it over. I just asked if she could hold the job for a couple of days while my wife finished moving. I started working in an all girl HVAC company a week later.

I have some really good songs that we have made up in our band, but we need more lyrics in the songs, so I am going to start working on them over the next few months. I want to write about my job as a heating and cooling contractor and where my life has taken me over the past several years, and hopefully put those lyrics into some of the songs we have composed over the past year or so. I know that HVAC equipment and technology isn’t the most exciting of topics, but I think we can make some really good songs if we can get the words for them, as we already have the tunes and chorus parts done on the songs. I have had a lot of experiences since getting into the heating and cooling industry so many years ago, and I think we could make those experiences into some good songs over time. I’ve met a lot of different people over the years and would like to weave them into these songs and make them funny too. I’ve had oil furnaces blow up in my face, HEPA filters get chewed up by wild rabbits, and lawsuits over A/C units that almost froze the homeowners to death when they didn’t stop running during the winter time. Life can be funny if you look at it from the right angle, and I think I have that angle and can make some good songs if I put my mind to it. Thank you to the HVAC industry and all of those crazy experiences.

My brother and I are both ex-engineers from S.V.

• in Cali, you know, the place where all of the big tech companies began in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

They were paying me the big bucks back then to build circuit boards for pagers, but after doing it for seven years I felt that I wanted to get out of the business for good. I like to solve problems and fix things, but that job ended up being a bunch of reports and meetings, so I left and never went back to it. Furnace repair and air conditioning installations are much more rewarding to me than reports and meetings, so I got into the HVAC field and have been dabbling around in it for the past 20 years or so. I thought when I was going to engineering school that the jobs would be more exciting, but after getting into it I discovered that the corporate world was full of stressed out type A personality people whom I did not want to be around. Fixing heating and cooling equipment is way more fun for me and today we are going to do just that when we go to mom’s house later on. Ever since leaving the corporate engineering world, I bet I have worked an average of 15 hours a week, which has given me a lot more freedom than I would have had if I stayed in the engineering racket. Working on a heater or A/C unit gives you an immediate reward once you find the solution, and that is all I need to feel good nowadays.

When I first got out of college I thought I wanted to be an engineer for the rest of my life.

But after doing it for seven years I decided it wasn’t a good fit for me so I left the industry.

I then ran my own local business and was buying houses, thinking I wanted to be a real estate tycoon, but it didn’t feel right so I left. After that, I became a comedian and thought I would make it and become famous, but when that didn’t happen I left once again. Now I write heating and cooling industry articles and am just going to make enough money to get by till I hang up my working boots in 14 more years. I live overseas now in a small town and I could easily live off of my social security checks each month when I am 70. I play music in a band in air conditioned and heated clubs and would like to do this the rest of my life, unless I get bored of that too! I don’t feel like I will get bored with music though and will keep doing the HVAC tech writing work to float me along while I keep doing my music thing. There isn’t a lot of money in music, and that is fine with me, as I just want to entertain people and have fun for the rest of my time on this planet. I wish I saved more money when I was working as a local contractor in the HVAC field but it didn’t work out that way.

I will write one more article and then I am going to rest my eyes for a bit.

I have some other work to do online today, which is going to take me about 45 minutes to do, and then I will come back and attack the last six articles here and be done for the day.

I should be able to get it all done in about two hours max and then I am going to hang out with my brother for the rest of the day. We are going to work on the central heating and cooling equipment at my mom’s house and then I am going to visit a friend whom I haven’t seen in about six months. I am in the states for a little while and have a few friends I want to visit before I go back for another year overseas. I am doing some cooling technology sales over there online and I also run a little HVAC equipment repair shop during the week. I don’t work that much anymore though as I semi-retired about 20 years ago and am just skating along making enough money to get by. I was saving all of this money from my HVAC business and trying to have a million bucks for retirement, but now I have changed my ways and am valuing free time over a big nest egg. I need to make it 14 more years and I will get the full social security check each month, which is enough money to live overseas in the small town where I live now.

My husband is a school administrator, and their favorite saying is: Do you want it, or do you need it? Every time I wanted something for the house, he would ask me that question, and I hated it.

When the pandemic started, and the schools closed, I told him I thought we should have a whole-home air purifications system.

Since the illness was airborne, we could stop the virus from getting into the air before we could breathe it in. He told me that an air purification system didn’t work that way, but was open to the discussion. I knew he wanted me to justify my reasoning for needing an air purification system, but I would not jump through the hoops he makes school employees jump through. I remember when the principal wanted to get some new cookbooks for the home economics classes. He made her fill out forms in triplicate, and give him a full page report on the necessity and give him the prices and SKUs of the books she wanted to buy. When he left for work, I called the HVAC company. I told them what I wanted and asked to have an HVAC technician come to the house. I needed the HVAC tech to be there right after our dinner was complete, so my husband would have eaten first. This always puts him in a better mood. I also asked if he could wear a white suit that wouldn’t allow him to spread the virus. He could get the information about a whole home air purification system from the HVAC technician, and not from me.

My mother asked me if I thought HVAC technicians got discounts on HVAC systems and repairs? I didn’t know if they did, but I assumed they would at least get their services and installations done for free.

• Two days later, she came home from work and had a pile of paperwork that she handed to me.

After explaining that we would fill them out after dinner, I glanced through them. Mom had brought home an application for HVAC classes and all the paperwork we needed to get help to pay for the tuition. I had never thought about going to HVAC classes after graduation. I had considered going to college, and then going to law school. I tried to explain this to her, but she pshaw’d me. She said she couldn’t foresee any of our family needing legal help, but everyone spent a lot of money on HVAC repairs, service, and new equipment. If I was going to do anything that could help our family and neighbors, it would become an HVAC technician. I couldn’t believe how her mind worked. I thought this was to be my decision, so I could have a career that would make me happy. After being reminded that she would have a vested interest in my career, I should make her happy. What would make my mom happy would be if I were to be an HVAC technician so she could have free HVAC work for the rest of her life. As much as I hated doing it, I filled out the paperwork that evening, and she took care of the paperwork for the school loan. I prayed I wouldn’t be accepted.

It took me some time before I had the HVAC system installed in my tiny home, but it was worth it.

I loved my new home.

I had it set up in a community where everyone had tiny homes. We had a shared water system, sewage system, and lights. We each paid our individual light bills, but they split the sewage and water between the homeowners. It was an HOA without all the rules. It didn’t take long to become comfortable in my tiny home. There were many people who gathered in the common area where we picnicked together and became friends. Once winter arrived, I was even more in love with my ductless HVAC system than I was with the tiny house. The ductless HVAC system kept me warm and comfortable all year round. I had one friend that came over to visit often. He thought my ductless HVAC system was better than his. We would sit in the kitchen enjoying each other’s company. Sometimes we played games, but most of the time, we watched old television shows. He said that was when television was meant to be fun and entertaining. I knew that if he liked my HVAC system better than his, it must be good. I was thinking he and I could become more than friends until a car pulled into his driveway one evening. He called and told me he had to forego our movie night. His girlfriend had come in from the city, and would be there for the long weekend. I didn’t invite him over after that. He could sit in his home and enjoy his less than perfect HVAC system, because I was no longer sharing mine.

When I bought my tiny home, I was told that it arrived in ready to move into condition.

I had picked out the furniture that I wanted, and had all the space saving features that were available.

When my tiny home was delivered, it looked just like I thought it was going to, and it was the most comfortable space I had ever been in. It was like a luxury hotel room, but I didn’t need to pay luxury prices. While the delivery man was there, I looked over every space and made sure there was no damage. I knew I was missing something, but I didn’t know what. Just as he was getting in his truck, I realized there was no HVAC system in the house. I asked him what happened to it? I had my delivery papers and my order form in front of me. I showed him where it said there was a mini split HVAC system into in the house. He told me he saw nothing on the delivery papers, and it wasn’t there. He told me to call the company I bought the tiny home from. If there was to be a ductless HVAC system, they would send someone out to deliver and install it. Then, he tried to tell me the HVAC system was optional. Why would an HVAC system be optional? As soon as he pulled away, I was on the phone to the company I bought my home from. He told me that some people chose not to have their ductless HVAC system, but would buy one for themselves. I had my order sheet and had marked that I wanted the mini split HVAC system installed.

My mother came into the house last week, and she wasn’t happy.

She saw someone had pushed the air conditioning unit off its pad, and she wanted to know how it happened.

I couldn’t tell her that my best friend had a motorcycle, and I broke it. I broke the motorcycle when I ran into the air conditioning unit and pushed it off its pad. Mom finally looked at me and said I looked like the guilty one. Instead of asking me if I broke the AC unit, she asked if I could explain how I broke the AC unit? I was all ready to give her a long story and throw in a few lies, but she was looking at me too intensely. I was sure she would know if I even deviated from the truth. I took a deep breath and told her how I drove the motorcycle into the AC unit, but I didn’t have time to finish. As soon as she heard the word motorcycle, she went ballistic. She had warned me not to even bring a motorcycle home. It wasn’t my motorcycle, which made her even angrier. She asked why I was on a motorcycle when I was only fifteen, and whose motorcycle I was on? I tried to tell her, but she called my friend’s mom and talked to her. Five minutes later, he and his mom were in my living room. His mom offered to let her son pay for half the damage the motorcycle had caused. She also said the motorcycle was going to go away forever, and my friend was now angry with me.
