Apparently he heard our concerned discussions about the cooling system, because he came walking over with an AC window unit in hand 5 minutes later
I’m really glad that we live in a good neighborhood where we can rely on our neighbors for help. The other day when we lost power it was a massive help when our neighbor allowed us to come over and shower at his place. He even let us take food and water from his refrigerator until we could get our own power reinstated. It was very kind of him and it made us a lot more comfortable in the sweltering hot and humid climate that we have been dealing with all summer. Of course, we should have known that our indoor air handling troubles were over with. Even when we had energy at our house again the air conditioning system would not work. That’s when we realized that when we lost power we also had an energy surge fry our expensive central cooling device. Suddenly, it was looking like we were going to have weeks of unmanaged indoor air quality before we could afford to hire a professional heating and cooling technician for a repair service or a full air conditioning replacement. Obviously, we were devastated at the thought of living in this oppressively hot environment without any air conditioning control indoors. Again, this is when our neighbor stepped up and saved our butts. Apparently he heard our concerned discussions about the cooling system, because he came walking over with an AC window unit in hand 5 minutes later. We have been limping along with the AC window unit installed in our bedroom for some indoor air temperature control. Until we can afford a new AC unit, we will be relying on my neighbor’s kindness.

I come from a family that incrementally acts incredibly tough or is wildly complaining about every single thing.
You never know what kind of a day you’re going to have until you start communicating with my family members.
On Monday they might tell you that they are strong, capable, and undeterred by every challenge in life. By Tuesday they will probably be complaining about their job, their health, and even the way the wind blows. It’s a continual back and forth between rejecting their problems and wallowing in them. This is why I was not surprised when my mom started complaining about her central heating and cooling devices a few weeks ago. I knew that her central air conditioning system was at least 15 years old because I remembered when the professional HVAC dealership came out and installed it. I also realized that her forced air furnace was well past its prime because the heating system existed when we moved into our house. When I recommended that she called her local heating, cooling, and ventilation dealership to arrange a professional maintenance appointment or repair service my mom simply shook her head. She insisted that she could get by with the heating and cooling devices as they were. She didn’t need to pay any expensive costs for a certified air quality control specialist to inspect her ancient HVAC devices. My mom insisted that her indoor air quality control system was not that important to her to shell out the money. That’s what she said one day, but every conversation we’ve had since has been about her terrible air quality.

When I moved into the city I had no idea that there would be so many challenges.
It’s hard enough to live in a new place when you don’t know anybody or have any family around.
It feels very lonesome and scary at times. It can be even worse when you live somewhere that suffers from routine power outages because of poor infrastructure planning on the city’s part. This is what I deal with on a regular basis living in my current residence. I never would have expected that we would lose power as often as we do. Unfortunately, because we live in an extremely hot and humid climate this means you are often sweating through your sheets and praying for the electricity to return. When you lose air conditioning power on a hot and humid day there’s nothing worse than waiting for the energy to be reinstated. For me, the inconvenience is larger than waiting for my air conditioning system to start back up again. In fact, every time we lose power I lose my entire air temperature control system. My smart thermostat is not particularly fond of these abrupt power outages. Every single time our energy is cut off to the house my central thermostat resets itself so that I have random factory air temperature control settings. Half the time we get our power back in the middle of the night and my furnace starts working instead of my air conditioning system. I’m always standing in front of the smart thermostat, resetting all of my temperature control programming and waiting for the stupid power to go out again.

Sometimes it’s really difficult when people want to challenge you in life. I feel like there are a lot of humans who want to test others to make sure that they live up to certain expectations. This is definitely the case when you’re starting to date somebody new, when you are applying for a job, and when you are dealing with difficult relatives. For me, I have been most majorly impacted by my employers consistent desire to test my practical skills in our specialized field. You see, I work as a heating, cooling, and ventilation technician for a large indoor air quality control corporation who tends to hire their HVAC workers directly out of the heating and cooling certification school. Because they always want to hire the youngest kids in the heating and cooling industry, they are also always trying to test us for practical skills in repairing and servicing are handling devices. They want to make sure that we actually know what we’re doing with forced air furnaces and air conditioning systems before we are on the job and giving them a bad name for faulty HVAC repairs. I understand their concerns, but I am quite tired of their sneaky tests in practical air quality control management. Most recently, I was frustrated after being sent out to an AC repair job which was apparently a test of my air conditioning knowledge. The owner of the shop sent me to his own house to inspect his cooling system after reportedly experiencing hot and cold patches all day. After hours of toiling at the AC unit… I found out it was all a test. There was nothing wrong with the cooling system.

As a professor I worry a lot about this next generation of adults who are coming up right now.
It seems like they have been massively affected by the influx of technology in our modern world.
I don’t understand how these kids are ever going to grow into real functioning adults when they are so reliant on cell phones, computers, and the internet. Don’t get me wrong, I think that technology is extremely important and useful in many aspects of life. However, it has also trained our kids to be more adept at interacting with screens than other human beings. As a professor in the local heating, cooling, and ventilation certification program at our trade school I really worry about the personal skills of our future HVAC technicians. When my pupils graduate from the heating, cooling, and air quality control program they will be certified heating and cooling technicians who are technically capable of entering the air quality control industry immediately. They can get a job at any HVAC repair shop as soon as they graduate. However, I’m worried that they might have the practical skills to inspect, maintain, and diagnose HVAC equipment but they seem to be lacking the personal skills to interact with residential HVAC owners. An important part of the job is conversing with the clients who request the HVAC repairs in the first place. If we have completely socially inept HVAC technicians entering the workforce they’re going to have a hard time finding out what the air quality complaint is and collecting the bill at the end of the repair appointment. I don’t know if we’re making successful HVAC techs, at that point.

Going from house to house to repair central heating and cooling devices can be rather challenging.
Whenever people meet my wife and I they are amazed that we have a happy marriage and we work together. People always assume that it is going to be terrible to have the same place of employment as your spouse. I understand why they might believe that, because it can be rather stressful to work together every single day. However, we do a good job of compartmentalizing our marriage and our business dealings so that they don’t overlap and ruin either venture. I think it helps a great deal that my wife and I have a unique set of skills which we both bring to the business. Honestly, she is the boss of the entire organization and I’m just along for the ride. This is probably the opposite of what most people expect when they hear that we operate a highly reviewed heating, cooling, and air quality control dealership. Don’t get me wrong, working in the HVAC industry is very challenging. I was a certified heating, cooling, and ventilation specialist for over 15 years before I met my wife. During that time, I certainly realized that there are ups and downs in the air quality control industry. Going from house to house to repair central heating and cooling devices can be rather challenging. Interacting with a shop full of certified HVAC workers can also be difficult and full of drama. That’s why I let my wife handle our indoor air handling control specialists. She manages the team of HVAC workers, the finances, and the advertising for our HVAC dealership. Meanwhile, I just answer the phones and schedule the repair appointments.

When my day is done at the HVAC repair shop and I’ve returned my work vehicle to the fleet of heating and cooling work vans, there’s still plenty for me to do
Sometimes my co-workers make fun of me because I act like my job is my life. I understand where they’re coming from, because I don’t think that most people spend their time the way that I do. I don’t know what to tell them, other than I am legitimately very passionate about indoor air quality control. Sometimes my HVAC interest it’s away from me and I actually forget to take care of myself throughout the day. The problem is, there’s always so much to do when you’re a professional heating and cooling technician. If I’m not at the heating and cooling repair shop, scheduling appointments and making sure that all of the equipment I’ve ordered is on the way, I’m out on the job. I spend my day going from one side of the city to the other, battling traffic and trying not to get pulled over as I fly between residential HVAC appointments. There are so many people in this city and they constantly need help with a broken forced air furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning system. I have the knowledge and expertise that they need, and I want to make sure that I can repair every HVAC system possible during the course of my work day. This means, I often forget to take breaks or to return phone calls from my loved ones. When my day is done at the HVAC repair shop and I’ve returned my work vehicle to the fleet of heating and cooling work vans, there’s still plenty for me to do. I’m always reading up on the newest air quality control technologies and figuring out how to help my residential clients further. It’s not unusual for me to realize I haven’t eaten, slept, or showered because I’ve been too HVAC obsessed.

Recently I was sitting around having a Skype call with my friend, as we commonly do these days. We can’t see each other in real life so we like to connect over the internet using the video chatting services. This means, we spend a lot of time just laughing and talking at each other. There’s not much else to do these days, other than sharing our stories and insights with one another. This particular day we were discussing some of our most embarrassing times in life. We came around to the topic of high school romantic anecdotes and all of the times that we weren’t caught in the act by our parents. Everybody shared their story and I sat back and waited for my turn. I knew that I was going to have the best anecdote of the evening. When I was 16 years old I remember going out with my girlfriend for a make-out session. It was the middle of summer so the outdoor air quality was extremely hot and humid. We live in a semi tropical climate so there’s not much relief from the daily heat and mugginess in the air. Therefore, there’s really no choice but to rely on air conditioning systems just to stay cool. This is especially true when you’re going to be on top of someone, potentially sweating. We had gone to her usual makeout spot and realized that there was no way to turn off the car without the heat and humidity ruining our experience. As such, I kept the motor running so we could enjoy the ice cold air passing through the vents. It really was a wonderful experience… Until the car shut off. Apparently, you can run out of gas even if you’re standing still. With the air conditioning system running, it quickly used up all of the fuel reserves. That call to mom and dad was the most embarrassing memory of my teenage years.

I know that everybody is chomping at the bit to get out and start living a normal life again… But I wish that we could all calm down and make better decisions. Everybody got tired of the shelter in place order and staring at their four walls several months ago. I understand where they’re coming from because I haven’t enjoyed my quarantine all that much, either. However, that doesn’t make me feel any differently about the potential risks of running outside and touching each other too soon. You see, the most recent idea in my town has been forcing the school to open this fall. As a dedicated heating and cooling technician, I can’t even begin to tell parents what a bad idea that is. I happen to know about the central heating and cooling system that exists in the school district. I personally service the HVAC equipment on a regular basis. And by regular basis, I mean that they call me once every few years to take a look at the disgusting air ducts and broken-down furnace. The heating and cooling equipment that the school already uses is so old and nasty that I’m surprised more children don’t have respiratory diseases. The thought of cramming kids back into the school with these flimsy air filters and ancient HVAC systems absolutely mortifies me. I’ve personally been trying to whistle blow the school’s terrible indoor air quality for years. Now, I am trying to convince my heating and cooling company not to give the school a passing grade on their HVAC inspection until they have finally upgraded the indoor air quality devices. This could literally be a matter of life or death.

At the beginning of the pandemic I was one of the unfortunate people who lost their jobs.
I realize that I’m not at all unique with this story of struggle, but I do have some strange twists and turns to my story.
You see, shortly after I was let go from my position, I began searching for a new profession to fill the void. I found an online marketing position was opening at a nearby start up and I immediately submitted my application. I knew I was going to have a lot to learn but I was looking forward to the challenge. Besides, I was desperate for the paycheck. When I arrived at the startup company’s office, I noticed that they had amazing indoor air quality control. I have to say, their central HVAC system was actually one of the reasons that I took the job. I couldn’t afford to keep sitting in my own central cooling system anymore and I looked forward to the option of having an air conditioner during the hottest part of the humid summer day. I accepted their job offer and reported to work on my first day, thinking that it was a great opportunity. When I arrived and walked into their amazing air conditioning I patted myself on the back for making good decisions and saving on my own energy bill. That’s when my new boss walked me directly out of the amazing air conditioning and into a small trailer next to the office building. He told me this is where I would be working. There was a tiny AC window unit hovering directly above the decrepit desk that he motioned to. For a moment, I honestly thought that he was kidding about the subpar working conditions and indoor air temperature control system. And then, he walked out of the trailer and closed the door.
