There is nothing I haven’t seen in my line of work as a HVAC worker.
I have since talked to my HVAC supervisor to give me calls of elderly women who need HVAC repairs and repair services only.
There is a good reason for this too. Being a woman in an industry highly dominated by men, several of the clients look down on me until they are forced to work with me. I am always trying to explain to them that I have the experience and skills to solve whatever their problem is. Many are skeptical and never bother to hide it. I have since developed a thick skin as long as they do not hinder me from doing my job. And then there are the other kinds of guys who try to catfish me even when I am in my full work attire, overalls, hemet, and toolbox does not seem to deter them. This is the kind that scares me although I am well equipped to defend myself. While several are harmless, it still gets uncomfortable when the guy hangs around me with the intention of checking me out. I remember one time I was called to go repair a HVAC unit that had suddenly stopped working. This person only wanted to have someone in the house to record him as he danced naked. He had hoped a young female HVAC worker would be sent to assist him. He did not mind paying the HVAC company for the HVAC professnal’s time even though his heating and cooling unit was perfectly okay. He was embarrassed after I diagnosed and found out that his HVAC unit was up-to-date. In fact, it was one of the best HVAC technologies in the market and would be serving him well for a long time. Only when I inquired further did he disclose his intentions. Luckily, he had a rob on when I came to his door. I am so happy that the elderly ladies I get posted to are warmer and sweeter.
