I wasn’t sure I would be an Air Conditioning specialist.

The only reason I was attending Heating and Air Conditioning college was to make Max glad.

Max wanted me to join his Heating and Air Conditioning corporation.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to be an Air Conditioning tech, but I knew I had to go. My stepfather Max wouldn’t have asked me to be an Heating and Air Conditioning specialist if it wasn’t very important to him. Max had consistently talked about giving his contractor to his first born, when he retired. I wasn’t the first born, but I was his only son. My brother didn’t want to be an Air Conditioning tech, and that left the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor to me. It wasn’t until I first went to Heating and Air Conditioning college that I knew I wanted to be there. The enthusiasm of the other students had me excited, and I could not wait to get inside and learn more about heating, ventilation, and a/c. My stepfather was an Heating and Air Conditioning contractor owner, but he didn’t bring his toil household with him. Max was introverted, and the only one he absolutely talked to other than my mother, were his Heating and Air Conditioning specialists. Max was now talking to me about what I learned and asking if he could help me. But it wasn’t until I was in my hand-on classes that I found out Max was one of the instructors. I got to toil for his best friend, and competitor for two months, and then I worked with Max. I could not assume how much fun it was, and how suddenly the time went, however before I knew it, I had finished Heating and Air Conditioning college, and was toiling on my certification. I was also looking forward to toiling with Max and someday owning the Heating and Air Conditioning corporation.

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 to until he had kids. Mom thought taking triplets to a contractor picnic was a little too much for everyone else there. Dad and mom thought they might go nuts when my enjoyable friend and I were growing up, and he didn’t want to put anyone else through it. I am grown up now, and on our own, but I remember Mom not taking us to any of those events. This year, my husband Ed and sibling-in-law toil at the same Heating and Air Conditioning corporation… Although I’m looking forward to spending an afternoon with one of my brothers, I’m not looking forward to the Heating and Air Conditioning party. Ed and I were talking about it last night, and he was excited, however Ed told me he had heard a lot about the BBQ’s. The owners of the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor had raffle tickets that could get you anything from a gag gift to a three-day weekend separate from a beeper. I thought that would be fun, but I still didn’t know if I wanted to go. After he begged, I asked Ed what time my enjoyable friend and I had to leave for the BBQ. Ed told me he had his beeper, but he would like to be there by lunch. Ed and I didn’t know that whoever had the beeper had a grand prize of a three-day weekend at the shore.

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, or he is on call and I can’t keep up with him. I often eat separate from Ed, and his lunch is put in the microwave or the oven. I could not tell you all of the date nights Ed and I have had interrupted because his beeper went off, and Ed needed to go back to work. It got to where Ed and I didn’t go out unless he had the entire weekend off, and often he would still be on call. They consistently need backups for the Heating and Air Conditioning specialist who was on call. If a second emergency arose and the Heating and Air Conditioning specialist was already dealing with an emergency, they needed to have someone ready to go out. The last time Ed and I had an uninterrupted date night, was when my enjoyable friend and I were on a weekend getaway. However, even then it wasn’t uninterrupted. Ed and I went into this new seafood restaurant that was on the waterfront. The humidity was wicked when you were outside, but it was even worse inside. Ed knew the a/c wasn’t toiling well. Instead of just asking if the Heating and Air Conditioning specialist was on the way, he gave his knowledge. Ed said he didn’t suppose it would take certainly long to repair, because he thought it was just a goopy air filter. The only enjoyable thing was that Ed and I got our lunch for free, and a voucher for another free lunch at any time in the future.

I didn’t hear what the Air Conditioning instructor was saying.

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.

I have had this acute hearing problem since I was little, and I knew what to do to compensate for it; When the instructor walked into the Heating and Air Conditioning class, he moved everyone around, and my enjoyable friend Sam and I were put according to last names, and I ended up in the back seat; For the whole first hour, I had no idea what was going on, because I could not understand what was being said. I didn’t want to say something in front of everyone, but he was accusing me of not listening. When the class went on break, he stopped me, but he asked what was wrong with his teaching? I shook my head. The teacher wanted to know why I wasn’t listening, and told me I could not have the earphones in during his class. I chuckled and told him they were earphones. I was partially deaf and that they were my hearing aids. He turned all shades of red, and asked why I wasn’t at the front of the class, then once I reminded him he had arranged our seats, the Heating and Air Conditioning instructor turned an even darker shade of red. When class was back in session, he moved many of us, so it didn’t look like he was just selecting me. He said they were shiny, glad Heating and Air Conditioning faces that had to be seen more clearly.

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 to start replacing them. I told him it would be just as expensive to replace every window air conditioning unit, as it was to get a central air conditioning unit. He didn’t believe me, but he called the HVAC company and had a technician come to the house and give us a quote for the central AC unit. Once the air conditioning was installed, my husband was happy he had done it. He told me when this air conditioning unit died, we were going back to window air conditioning units. He wasn’t going through the hassle of having another HVAC system installed, and he didn’t want to put that much money out. So, here it is fifteen years later, and the air conditioning unit died. I called to make an appointment to have a technician come to the house and inspect the AC unit. I told them I thought the air conditioner was dead, but I needed to make sure. I also mentioned my husband’s ideas on getting window air conditioning units if this one died. When the HVAC technician arrived, I kept hoping it was just the thermostat. I even asked if he was sure it isn’t the thermostat, but he said it was the air conditioning unit that died.

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 in. I didn’t want to go through a humid summer without air conditioning. On the day the HVAC technician was to arrive, the weather forecast was for severe storms. The forecast was for four to five inches of rain, and severe thunder and lightning. I worried the HVAC technician wouldn’t make it, but I worried more than he would show up and not be able to do anything because of the thunder and lightning. I didn’t even know if they worked in inclement weather, especially since they had to be outside to work on air conditioning units. An hour before the HVAC technician was to arrive, I got a phone call from the HVAC company. They told me he would be late because of the weather. It was taking longer to work on the AC units because of the rain and lightning. We had an overhang over the air conditioning unit, but I was sure not everyone did. I told the woman on the phone that I would be okay if they had to wait until the next day to have the air conditioning unit cleaned. She thanked me, and set me up with another appointment.

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 anything about the HVAC system except knowing that it worked. We moved about ten years ago, and everything was different. The HVAC technicians aren’t as stodgy, and they are very friendly. I don’t mind calling the HVAC company and asking them for help. My husband likes knowing he doesn’t need to do second hand calling, because he often has the wrong information. I’m becoming used to calling the HVAC company, and I hate it. It was so much easier when we lived in the other county. I never had to worry about changing the air filter, because the HVAC technician would do it for me. They thought I was the woman of the house, and that was not a job for a woman. Whenever one of the HVAC technicians went by the house, they would stop and ask if I needed the air filter changed. It was a small community of less than 200 people, and most of the families were Amish,which accounted for the men’s attitude. Their women worked in the fields, took care of the home and the farm, and they worked for the money, is how I looked at it. It was nice to be treated like a woman, even if it was only getting my air filter changed.

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 or air conditioning unit, but once one of them quit working well, we were getting the entire HVAC system. During my perusal, I visited many HVAC websites. I was comparing prices, expertise of HVAC technicians, and mostly, their customer reviews. I was sure the bad reviews wouldn’t be there, but I was still looking. I came across some interesting areas on a website. They were talking about HVAC for homeowners. I called my husband into the study and showed him the page. I was reading some of the information to him, and it was telling you how to do many things on your own. The most important thing I read was how to make a diagnosis when something happens to your HVAC equipment. It gave you easy ways to figure out what could be wrong, so you can give a better description of what was happening, and give that info to your HVAC technician. The final sentence was; when you know what is wrong, don’t be afraid to tell the HVAC technician. We bookmarked that page. When something happened to the HVAC technician, we wanted the ability to tell the HVAC technician what was wrong with the HVAC. If we were wrong, that’s fine, but it gives the HVAC technician somewhere to start.

The way they talked to the HVAC tech was wrong.

I was listening to my neighbor talking to the HVAC technician.

I wasn’t deliberately listening to their conversation.

My son wanted to play on the porch and I wouldn’t let him outside alone. I had the porch gate locked while he was outside, and I sat on the rocking chair. I noticed my neighbor outside with the HVAC technician. The tech was trying to get some work done, but it wasn’t working. My neighbor was carrying on about how bad the last HVAC tech was. I was beginning to feel sorry for the tech. The way he talked to him was wrong. It was like he was blaming this man for something someone else had done. I stood up and was getting ready to go over and admonish the man’s behavior, but his wife came out. Thinking she was going to take her husband inside and let the tech complete the air conditioning repair, I sat back down. Instead of taking him inside, she began browbeating the tech. She told him she didn’t know why they kept using his HVAC company. I picked up my son, opened the gate, and walked over. After a deep breath, I asked the tech if he wanted to come over for a moment. Then I turned to my neighbors. I told them there were three HVAC companies in our area, and I suggested they call one of them if they were so unhappy with the HVAC tech. It wasn’t his fault someone else had made a mistake, but it was their fault for behaving so badly.

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 all I had to do was have an excellent air conditioner, and I would be comfortable. When winter arrived, it shocked me to realize how cold it could get at night. The temperatures dropped to freezing at times, and we had temps that didn’t get out of the fifties for several weeks. We even had some summer days when it was in the sixties, especially when coastal storms were moving in. My neighbor told me I should get a fireplace or some space heaters. She had space heaters in her house, in case we had a cold spell, but she had recently had a furnace installed, as well. I didn’t want to know what it would cost to have a furnace installed, but I knew I could afford a few space heaters. I went to town and bought two space heaters. I had one for the bedroom, and another for the living area. I had a fan that included heat and air conditioning in the bathroom. The following winter was dry and warm, which didn’t bother me, but I knew summer was going to come again. If the storms came through like last year, I would have the space heaters to dry out the house, and help the air conditioning with the humidity.

I was afraid for the HVAC technician.

I used to think HVAC technicians were fair weather employees.

I never saw an HVAC tech outside working when there was even a small amount of rain.

I knew they were probably in another area, but that was the practical side of me. It was raining hard, and my HVAC technician still hadn’t arrived. I was sure it was because of the rain. Two hours later, the rain had become a steady downpour, and there was thunder rumbling all around us. The wind was picking up. Through all the horrible weather, the HVAC came up my driveway, and was getting out of his service van. I told him the air conditioning unit was in the backyard and had a roof over it, but I was afraid for him. I was eating my own words about how they only worked in fair weather, because he was going to go out back and work on my air conditioning unit. I told him the storm was only going to last for half an hour, and it should be dying down soon. I wanted him to enjoy iced tea, coffee, or something else while waiting for the rain to subside, and the thunder and lightning to go away. He told me he had worked many days in this type of weather, and it didn’t bother him. He had a slicker in the van that would keep him fairly dry. He had to get my air conditioning unit repaired before heading to the next house. In this weather, there were more break-downs than any other time of the season.

Lightning hit the air conditioning unit.

My worst fear has always been lightning striking my house and it catching on fire.

I was always afraid I would end up stuck in the house and never get out.

I never expect lightning to hit the air conditioning unit. I knew it had struck somewhere near the house, but I didn’t think it had hit the air conditioner. I wanted to go outside and look but it was raining so hard, I thought it would break the windows when it hit. The lightning was coming often, and it illuminated the room, even though the curtains were closed. I went to the living room, and hid in the closet. It was there I realized how hot and stuffy it was in the house, and I could smell ozone inside. The lights were out, and the air conditioning unit wasn’t running. I needed to know what had happened. The storm was calming, and I was looking out the windows. There were no lights anywhere in the area, except for a few sparks coming from my air conditioning unit. I thought I was seeing fog, but what I was seeing was smoke coming off the AC unit. I had to call the power company, but they already knew we were without power. I then called the HVAC company, who had so many calls, they couldn’t answer. I had to wait until morning, when the sparks had subsided, but I could now see the big hole the lightning had blown in its side. I was going to need a new air conditioning unit.
