I hardly miss out on an opportunity to showcase my love for mechanical and electrical appliances.
Often, I take on most appliance repair tasks at home.
At first, my dad was a bit hesitant on letting me work on electrical and mechanical appliances because of the risks involved. However, he gradually let me try my hand in home appliance repairs under his strict eye after learning my love for appliances surpassed my fear of being electrocuted. He began by teaching me about electrical safety measures. I picked up on it quickly and moved on to learning more about home electrical appliance repairs. This too, wasn’t hard for me to master. While at it, I developed a unique interest in HVAC systems. I was fascinated by how HVAC systems maintained a desired indoor air quality and temperature even in the harshest weather conditions. To satisfy my curiosity, I walked into HVAC supplier shops in our locality, and visited HVAC contractor shops to learn all I could about HVAC units. Fortunately, I met an HVAC technician who was surprised by my interest in appliances and he decided to teach me more about HVAC units. He would take me with him for HVAC system repairs during the weekends. He did most of the hard work while I watched and learned. I tried to ask him for a chance to try my hand in actual fixing the HVAC system, but he turned me down. However, he allowed me to work on an old unit in his workshop to improve my skills. This meant that the only chance I had to test my HVAC repair skills in the real world was with my parent’s HVAC system. Even though dad was strict, he allowed me to handle minor repairs under his watchful eye.
