The HVAC Heros

I think it all comes down to finding what you really love to do and doing it until you can’t do it anymore.

It is also about helping people as much as you can and having the things you need to live a nice life.

You really don’t need that much stuff though, you may want a lot of things, but you really don’t need a lot of things to be happy. If you are doing what you love then you really don’t want much else, so try and find that thing that you love to do and do it. Heat pump repairs make me money, but I wouldn’t say it is what I really love to do. I love playing music and playing drums in my band, and that is what I am focused on doing for the rest of my life. I do some ductwork cleaning and repairs each week to put food on the table and to give me a place to stay, but I try to spend most of my energy on practicing singing and playing the drums in my band. I was doing comedy for over 15 years but got tired of the scene so I changed over to music and am so happy I made the switch. I played in a ton of clubs without climate control in front of aggressive audiences, but no more will I do that. I am happy to play music on the streets or in bars with my band and I am happy that I had the guts to make the change at 55 years old.

I had to know what happened to the old air conditioning unit before we had a new one installed in the spring.

I wanted to have all my ducks in a row, and know if I had done something wrong, that caused the air conditioning unit to break after only nine years.

The HVAC technician told me that some of the older air conditioning units were built more cheaply. This was a cheaper AC unit that had been installed to make the house sell more quickly. It was apparent the old owners wanted to sell quickly, but no one wanted a home that didn’t have HVAC installed. They had chosen the cheapest HVAC system they could find. It didn’t matter if it was sized to fit the house, or if it was energy efficient. The owners wanted an HVAC system installed that would satisfy the realtor and the people who bought the house. I wanted to know how he knew the AC unit was the wrong size. He told me to walk with him, and he would show me what happened to the AC unit. He showed me the model number and then showed me what the tonnage was. He then showed me how much space this AC unit could properly cool without undue stain. They rated the AC unit for a house that was half the square footage that mine had. It was no wonder the AC unit didn’t work well, and why it broke in less than nine years. Unfortunately, I had to eat the cost of a new AC unit, and this one would be more expensive than the one the old owners had installed.

She had people trying to figure out the mystery who were on the other side of the world

My husband told me to come with something that would help bring new customers to our HVAC company. I told him we needed a scavenger hunt that ended with someone getting a new HVAC system, but he said that was too gimmicky. He didn’t like the idea. She talked about a contest where people could help solve a mystery. She wrote a story that was more of a mystery book than anything. People had to do a lot of research on HVAC systems if they wanted to solve the mystery. Someone would win an HVAC system if they were the first to solve the mystery of the air conditioning unit. Mom put a lot of work into the story she wrote and then posted on dad’s HVAC website. She talked about the possibility of a haunting and then made it sound like it was a bad component in the AC unit. The first person to solve the mystery won the game. The contest ran for nearly two months before anyone came up with the right answer. It was also the first time I realized how strongly the internet wove into everyone’s lives. She had people trying to figure out the mystery who were on the other side of the world. I asked how dad was going to deliver the HVAC system to someone that was thousands of miles away. He said he would need to do a lot of fancy talking to other HVAC companies. Knowing my dad, you could live in the Arctic, and he would find someway to get the proffered HVAC system to the winner.

My sister saw an ad in the newspaper last week.

The ad started with the words, ‘How lucky are you?’ in bold print, and large enough that even a blind person could see them. The local HVAC company was running a contest. You could win a brand new HVAC system, or your choice of a furnace or air conditioning unit. They were also donating an air purification system to one lucky person, and a ductless HVAC system. Altogether, there were four different HVAC systems being given away. It cost $10 for a ticket, and the drawing was going to be on January 1. My mom was mulling over how lucky she was when dad got home. He told her there was no way she was going to win a new HVAC system. Even if she did, they had just bought a brand new HVAC system, complete with a whole-home air purification system. We didn’t need another HVAC system, so she should save her money. Mom was thinking it would be a gift for grandma and grandpa, but dad said no. He would not donate money to the HVAC company when he had just paid for a new HVAC system. Mom shouted it was her money, and she could spend it any way she wanted. Mom stomped off to make dinner, and dad sat down with his newspaper. When he opened it up, there was the HVAC ad about the contest. I had to admit that it was hard to ignore, but I thought it was just another gimmick to get money off people.

Mom was an avid seamstress and with all the people coming to her for special dresses, she told dad she needed a room just for her sewing machines.

She had taken over the spare bedroom for people to try clothing on, but she had her sewing machine in the closet.

Dad offered to build a room off the house where she could have her sewing machine, a fitting room, and a room for all her supplies. The only thing he was unsure of was if they could extend the HVAC system into that area. He called the HVAC company and asked if someone could look at the HVAC system. He told them he was building an addition on the house and wanted to know what he could do for HVAC. when the HVAC technician arrived he checked the ductwork, furnace, and air conditioning unit. He said he thought the room was going to be too far away to benefit from the current HVAC system. Putting ductwork through the concrete was going to be expensive. He suggested they consider a mini split HVAC system for the addition. After talking to the HVAC technician, he asked about installing radiant heated flooring in the bathroom. The HVAC technician told dad that could be done with electric heat tapes. It wouldn’t be anymore expensive than what we were currently paying. Mom was finally going to have the sewing room she always wanted, with private areas for her paying customers. The ductless HVAC system and radiant heated flooring were just one more plus for her and her customers, and she was going to teach me how to sew.

When the HVAC company asked about a new thermostat to go with my new HVAC system, I thought it was a great idea.

• They told me I could get a smart thermostat as part of the HVAC package, and it wouldn’t cost anything extra.

They input phone numbers for the HVAC company, my husband’s cell phone, and my cell phone. They also pre-programmed the number for the police station. The HVAC technician showed my husband how to use the app that connected our cell phones and main computer to the smart thermostat. I thought working the thermostat was going to be super easy, but I was wrong. I hated the thermostat after only a week. I would program the air conditioning to turn on at 10 AM and turn off at midnight. I had the temperature set for seventy-two. Every day I had had to reprogram the thermostat. It was shutting off and on at odd hours, and the temperature was dropping down to sixty-eight. That was entirely too cool when I was the only one in the house. I called the HVAC company and told them I had a problem with the air conditioning unit, or the thermostat. I wasn’t sure which. I told them exactly what was happening. They told me it was the thermostat and someone would be at the house shortly. When the HVAC technician arrived, he had to fiddle with the thermostat and make it so it responded only to the commands coming from our cell phones and computer, and not from anyone who had the same model thermostat.

I called the HVAC company the day after Christmas.

I told them I didn’t need emergency service, but I needed service.

I was glad the furnace was still giving heat, because it was only eight degrees outside, and it was 2 PM. The problem with the furnace was that it was working overtime. It was eighty-five in the house, and no matter where I set the thermostat, I couldn’t get it any cooler. The person who answered the phone asked if I checked the batteries in the thermostat? I told her I did, and I even had my dad install a new thermostat, but it was in the furnace. The furnace wouldn’t quit running when we installed the new furnace. I was walking around in shorts and a tank top in the winter. I walked out onto the porch to get my mail, and I thought I would freeze to death. It was so hot inside; I forgot how cold it was outside. The wind alone was enough to make me shiver. When the HVAC technician arrived two days later, it was a balmy thirteen degrees outside, but the windchill made it feel like it was negative 24. He walked into the house and immediately took his coat off. I offered to take it, as he headed downstairs to the basement. An hour later, I could feel the difference in the house. He said it was the temperature valve that had quit working. It let the furnace know when it had reached the temperature, and wasn’t allowing the furnace to work with the thermostat.

My granddaughter told her grandfather she wanted a playhouse for Christmas.

Her birthday was Christmas day, and she always got a little extra.

I didn’t think the little extra this year was going to be so extravagant. She not only got a playhouse, but it could have been my first apartment. He found a used tiny house and picked it up for a little of nothing. There was a working bathroom, a loft bedroom, and a small porch out front. The only thing it needed was new siding, a roof, and a new HVAC system. The inside was pristine, and the plumbing worked well, but it needed to be hooked into someone else plumbing and electricity. Instead, my husband and son-in-law ran pipes from the house to the tiny house, and set up an electric line for the tiny house. They spent three months redoing the tiny house, so she could have her own playhouse. The sewer was an easy decision, but neither of them knew what they wanted to do with HVAC. My husband suggested they get a single unit mini split HVAC system. They sold them at our local HVAC company, and it wouldn’t cost much to have it installed. She has now had that playhouse for almost eight years, and practically lives there. She told us she wanted to live there when she turned sixteen, but she needed a new HVAC system again. The air conditioning wasn’t working as well as it did when she was a kid. Her father and grandfather went to town and bought a new mini split HVAC system and had it installed.

My husband’s ex-wife raised their son until he was almost sixteen, when he moved in with his father and me. She no longer wanted to put up with him. I told him he could move in, but he had to finish school, get a job, and put money back for college. He wasn’t happy, but his dad stood behind me on my decision. He followed our rules, or he could go back with his mom. He was in our house for almost six months, and he still didn’t have a job. He told us he refused to work unless he got at least $10 an hour. I laughed. Minimum wage was only $7.25 an hour. He had no skills, and the only job he could get was in fast food. I knew no one would hire him for more than minimum wage. He said he would work for the HVAC company. His friend’s father owned the HVAC company, and he was told if he wanted a job cleaning up and doing inventory, they would hire him. I snorted and walked away. I couldn’t believe the owner of the HVAC company would hire him for $10 an hour. I called Jeff. Jeff owned the local HVAC company. I had known him since we were in high school. I asked him if he knew my stepson? He said yes, but he didn’t know he belonged to me. I asked him about the offered job at the HVAC company. I found out he was told he wouldn’t take anything less than $10 an hour, and Jeff refused. He said he would take minimum wage, or he wouldn’t work at the HVAC company.

I was back to slinging paint with our buddy, who owns a painting company plus had some work for myself and others while I am here in town.

I heard all about the latest plus greatest plus most of it was about money plus things.

I am delighted I am not in this money machine like I was. Seems like all all the people does is replace this plus that on their house plus buy newer plus greater cars. It feels as though they are never delighted where they are plus are typically looking for ways to spend their money. The local company our neighbor owns could support myself and others for a long time just with a week of work. But for him, it is only enough to pay half of his bills each week. He is a local company plus does Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C device repairs plus modern replacements, plus his wife also works full time at her task. They have more than two kids plus he told myself and others they need to pull in $15k a week to survive, plus I thought I had a lot of bills at $1250 a week! Wow, I could work one week a year doing heating plus cooling repairs like he does plus take off the rest of the year. I live a really simple life plus have a lot of free time on our hands, unlike our neighbor who seems to have filled every last hour with an obligation or some kind of work. I do some Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C technology sales sometimes to make a little money but nothing like our associate has to do constantly.
