I talked to the HVAC professional at the online advertising company.

I was looking for someone who could help me market my new HVAC company.

  • It took me years to get my HVAC company running, plus I wanted it to have a strong start.

My husbandy had created a website, but he didn’t suppose it was a strong website that would bring purchasers to us, but he told me he had talked to someone who recommended calling an online advertising company, however they were HVAC professionals who were HVAC workers, or owners of HVAC companies. Many of them retired plus were laboring for the online advertising company to offset their income. Some of them were still active HVAC workers plus HVAC company owners. I told his I would look them up online plus get some idea of what they do before I called them. I wanted to understand what the online advertising company did, plus I wanted a list of questions in front of me. Two hours later, I was on the iphone to the online advertising company when my husbandy came into my office. She sat down plus quietly listened to the conversation after I put it on speaker… When I finished my questions, he said he had a few more. She asked about the HVAC company website plus wanted to know how to improve it. My superb friend and I talked for almost two hours, when the HVAC company specialist asked if he could contact us the next day. I thought he was blowing us off, but the next day he had already changed the existing website, plus my buddy and I were seeing hobby on our contact us page.

Dad wanted me to take over the HVAC company in 10 years time

When I was in my last year of high school, I was also working at my dad’s HVAC company.

The plan was to save as much money as possible for a trip. My friends and I had been dreaming of backpacking through Europe since we were in middle school. We saw this movie about such a trip, and we’re obsessed with the idea. But, it required money, and we all quickly found jobs and saved up. We’d take a year off before joining college to travel and explore a new life. Our parents were so proud, and promised to match the money we saved. The time came when we all turned 18, and so the trip could happen. And to say it was a blast was an understatement. We had the best time, and one of us even decided to go to college in the UK. I, on the other hand, went back home and joined a HVAC college. I have lots of experience working for my dad at the HVAC company. To be honest, I’m pretty well trained in all matters of heating and cooling. However, you need to be a certified HVAC expert to work in this industry. That means going to school for a year, passing your exams, and getting your HVAC certification. Dad and I have always talked about me taking over the company. And he had a timeline when I became a certified HVAC expert. He was going to prepare me for the role and I’d sit in his chair for the next 10 years.

Luke chose to become a heating and cooling specialist

Luke and his two sisters are close now that they’re all grown. But, as kids, they always fought. Their folks were always getting in between to stop their arguments and chaos. However, they feel so much relief that they are now close as adults. Luke’s sisters are the complete opposite of each other. The older sister is a fashion and design major, and works for a fashion house in the city. She was always into clothes and make-up from a young age. The younger sister was more into STEM and won so many awards at science and math competitions. She now works as a lecturer in an Ivy league university. As for Luke, he chose a completely different path from his two sisters. He chose to go to HVAC school and now works as a heating and cooling specialist. He always thought he’d be a real estate agent like his dad, or perhaps work in management like his mom. But, he changed his mind in his last year of high school. His uncle, who is an HVAC technician, had come to visit and they got to talk. He told him about his HVAC career, the endless opportunities and the money he was making. Luke was convinced and chose to go to school to become a heating and cooling specialist. That was a good idea since he is now thriving working for a local HVAC company that serves a wide area. He started off as an apprentice and got great training from the experienced HVAC techs at the company. Then, after 6 months, he was going to work on his own.

A game that sometimes features air conditioning equipment and service

The question was about the HVAC installation and whether it affects the air quality within a space.

I recently discovered that the bar near our office usually holds Tuesday quiz night. The winning team will usually get a round of drinks and prepare the following week’s questions. The first time I attended quiz night, I was part of my colleague’s team. I work at the local indoor comfort business as an a/c professional. I was not shocked to discover that most of my colleagues attended the quiz night. In my first appearance, the questions were about quality HVAC systems and just because we were skilled a/c workers. It didn’t automatically mean we’d know all the answers. The questions came with a twist; while some had clues and multiple choices, the rest did not. I remember one of the questions: how often are AC filters replaced in the commercial air conditioning system in a crowded open-air market? I thought the filters would get dirty and blocked fast since the electric heat pump would be exposed to the elements. The correct answer was not to have a system with ductwork. This did not mean having a unit such as a ductless mini-split; instead, fans would be most effective in an open place. Another interesting question was, which was better; a Wi-Fi or a digital thermostat? The cooling specialist team got that question correctly. The questions also touched on air conditioning service and what tasks a non-specialist can do. We tied with another group and had to go for a hellfire question to break the tie. The question was about the HVAC installation and whether it affects the air quality within a space. Whoever got it right would automatically win. We did our cooling corporation proudly and won and enjoyed our free drinks. The game also highlighted the need for air conditioning tune-up to help with indoor comfort.

A HEPA filter for my HVAC installation to improve my wellbeing

I have struggled with Asthma since I was little.

As I have grown older, I understand the triggers and can deal with them to avoid attacks.

The worst seasons for me are spring and summer. To combat the flare-ups, I have scheduled to switch up my electric heat pump’s AC filters at least every 60 to 90 days. The air conditioning installation occurred about ten years ago, and though the quality HVAC system still works well, sometimes it is not as effective. One morning, I saw a puddle of water near the system and wondered what the issue was. I called my brother, an a/c worker, who advised me to call the indoor comfort business and book an appointment because it seemed the ductwork leaked. I remembered seeing the same thing with the commercial a/c system at the office. The cooling specialist used a different sealant to seal the leaks and promote airflow. During the routine air conditioning service, the a/c professional suggested HEPA filters improve the air quality and help with indoor comfort. He installed the filter. That evening, I noticed a significant increase in the quality of indoor comfort. A week later, the Asthma flare-ups had reduced drastically. Upon reading further on these filters, I discovered they are the best in the market because they trap small dust particles. I later upgraded to a digital thermostat to improve my experience with the system. The filters have been a game-changer and a friend to proper respiratory health. Calling the cooling corporation for a routine air conditioning tune-up was mandatory for me. I also decided to save money to purchase a ductless mini-split to eliminate having to deal with ductwork.

Hosting an event for an air conditioning company

I am a host by trade.

My job entails hosting events, so I must always work on public speaking and people skills.

Last summer, an air conditioning company hired me to host their grand opening event. The Covid pandemic and the current state of the economy worldwide have reduced operations and laid off several a/c workers. It would be one of the most significant events I had ever hosted, and I was excited and anxious about it. Even after seven years of doing this, I still got a little nervous before an event, especially with events of such importance. I was glad I had just gotten the indoor comfort business to conduct an air conditioning tune-up on my electric heat pump, so it did a good job cooling my body down. The anxiety was causing my body to burn up. The a/c professional had only changed the AC filters, swapping them out for the high-quality HEPA filters that almost instantly improved the air quality. As per my routine, I reviewed the company’s history again to remind myself. The cooling corporation was about to launch new commercial-quality HVAC systems, which was the second reason for the event. They were optimistic that homeowners would gladly accept the new HVAC installation system and the new air conditioning services. As I drifted to sleep the night before the event, I dreamt that the cooling specialists were working on a ductless mini-split on the stage, and a tool that one of them was using fell on me. I was so startled that I woke up with my heart pounding against my chest. The digital thermostat was also beeping, and I had to wake up and check what was wrong. I reset it to help with indoor comfort. After the nightmare, I meditated and had a somewhat peaceful night. The event was a success; as usual, I hosted it perfectly.

A call to the wrong cooling corporation

Due to his mishap, he would have to take care of his baby sister the whole Saturday while I went out with the girls.

Our furnace needed air conditioning service, and Andy was supposed to call the indoor comfort business. By afternoon I was convinced that Andy had not made that call because the a/c professional had yet arrived. When I was about to make that call, I heard the doorbell, and on opening, it was a guy from the cooling corporation. I told him all the problems we were facing due to the malfunction of the once-quality HVAC system. After I explained, he told me we must have called the wrong cooling specialist because their company specializes in geothermal HVAC installation and care. I was furious because this was yet another time my son proved he needed supervision to do something correctly. I apologized to the man. The a/c worker still went ahead to fix the electric heat pump. He also fine-tuned the digital thermostat and checked the AC filter to improve air quality and help with indoor comfort. Despite calling the wrong air conditioning company, the tech offered quality air conditioner service. The other could wait a day; I had a score to settle with Andy. Due to his mishap, he would have to take care of his baby sister the whole Saturday while I went out with the girls. When I told him, he surprisingly took it well; he probably thought I would come with some extreme punishment. I could not find it to punish him since the ductless mini-split was fully functional. The end justifies the means in this particular matter. Either way, I was going to have a well-deserved night out.

Owning an indoor comfort business

I have had my indoor comfort business for ten years, and it has been the most exciting experience in my career.

There is never a dull day at the office.

There is rarely a day I will go to the office and not have some work to complete. I started my business with a lot of challenges. The first three years were so challenging that I thought of giving up several times. A customer almost sued my a/c worker because of an issue with a new air conditioning system we had sold him. We managed to sort the problem out of court, but the incident made me wiser. Ten years later, my a/c professionals are well-trained and highly skilled in working on quality HVAC systems. My days start by checking the reviews on the cooling corporation’s website. It gives me an insight into how we provide satisfactory air conditioner service to our customers. If I have anything to point out, I will follow up with a meeting with the senior cooling specialist, who acts as my eyes and ears in the company. I then review our inventory and take stock of the available cooling products, such as the electric heat pumps, the ductless mini-splits, and other smaller accessories, such as the digital thermostats that are the most popular with our customers. In case of any restocking, I will sign off on the procurement order. The technicians arrive at the office when I finish the administration work. I supervise assigning jobs, including air conditioning tune-ups and HVAC installations that help with indoor comfort. The sequence of my tasks changes with each day’s demands, but I love it all.

Getting involved in my HVAC installation

It had been a hot night, but we pushed through with the aid of the standing fans.

Our electric heat pump had broken down the evening before, and though we called the a/c worker, we had to tolerate the heat through the night. I was up early the following morning, as the humidity would not let me have my beauty sleep. I started cleaning the house to keep myself busy. The a/c professionals arrived around eight and immediately went to work. They began executing the air conditioner tune-up to establish the issue. After a few minutes of working on the unit, they announced that a significant part was faulty, making the entire system virtually useless. Fortunately, the indoor comfort business downtown was running a sale, so I took full advantage and purchased the ductless mini-split unit to help with indoor comfort. I had foreseen this and started saving money for the new air conditioning system. The cooling specialist removed the malfunctioned unit to fit the new system. I was involved in helping them move things around. I felt like a team member during the entire HVAC installation process. I learned many things about the air conditioner service and how to maintain a quality HVAC system. Anyone would have mistaken me for an employee of the cooling corporation when they saw me hard at work with the actual team. I got to install my digital thermostat under the supervising eye of the lead technician. After about six hours, my home was comfortable and cool from the summer heat, and to think that I had helped achieve this comfort, made my heart full of excitement.

A new air conditioning system that ended our suffering

The hostel’s electric heat pump had been out for three days, and spending time in the hostel felt like torture.

We would stay at the school’s gymnasium until it was time to sleep, then use the standing fans to help with indoor comfort.

The digital thermostat was functioning okay, but the system was utterly broken down. The matron had been trying to get an appointment with the a/c professionals for days, but they were all fully booked. She also tried the other indoor comfort businesses downtown, but they were similarly busy. We finally got an appointment with a freelance cooling specialist because we were becoming desperate. The freelance specialist was prompt. They came when they said they would and headed to the basement where the system was. After performing the air conditioner tune-up, they discovered that one of the sensitive parts of the quality HVAC was broken, and they could not replace it. The school had to purchase a new air conditioning unit immediately. Fortunately, the cooling corporation offered the school financial assistance and a feasible payment plan. The a/c workers did the HVAC installation on the same day. I like how efficient they were at providing air conditioner services. They also took the management through some tips to keep the unit functioning efficiently and optimally for a long time. The previous system was old but could have been kept in a better condition as it still had a few years left. After three days of suffering and living in a seemingly hellish place, we finally got a new ductless mini-split to improve our comfort.
