I do emergency heater repairs on Christmas

I have young children, so you understand how Christmas morning is a big deal around our house.

However, it also presents a real complication for me.

Over the last many years I have had to work on most Christmas Eves plus Christmas Days. I don’t want to ruin Christmas by not being there with my family, but on the other hand these kinds of emergency repairs pay big money so I can’t afford to turn them down. The only reason that I can afford to have a really nice Christmas for the kids is by working these extra jobs. The company I work for has a 24 hour emergency Heating plus A/C phone number, so people can call us 24/7 for help. When customers need heating repairs after hours it costs more, plus if they want help on a major holiday, it costs A WHOLE LOT more. Taking an oil furnace repair job on Christmas will pay triple my normal rate, so you see why I have to take the call! Last Christmas morning I got an emergency oil furnace repair call, plus my oldest child Joe asked if he could come with me. Joe wanted to spend the holiday with his Mom, even if that meant being stuck in a basement plus working on a broken heater! Not only did I take Joe with me, however I offered him his own shirt plus baseball cap with a logo for the Heating plus A/C company on it, to make him know the feeling of being a real employee. It took us about 2 hours to repair that oil furnace, plus I must admit that it has become one of my preferred Christmas memories.

Learning Heating plus A/C repair skills

If you want to make a go of it in this increasingly complicated world, you need to know a valuable skill.

For many years I worked as a retail sales clerk, plus I hated it.

All of my friends had the same kind of dead-end job, so we spent all of our free afternoons drinking plus smoking plus complaining about it. One day I met someone named Tom who convinced me that I was slumming, plus if I wanted a better life I had to learn a skill. Tom taught me that Heating plus A/C work is hard plus complex, plus takes years to fully learn it. Even after you achieve your certification, there is still many years worth of on-the-job reading to be done. All that work plus effort is well worth it, because a certified Heating plus A/C tech can make an excellent living plus never need to stress about job security. The complication with retail work is that you can be fired at any time, with no warning; Retail clerks are a dime a dozen, as the saying goes. When a man is certified for Heating plus A/C work, there are several chances for employment that it doesn’t matter if you get fired. I have met a few Heating plus A/C techs who work for several companies at the same time. They can option plus choose who they do work for, because that Heating plus A/C certification gives them the power to do so! Every condo plus every business in this country relies on temperature controls in some way. With an Heating plus A/C certification you can go anywhere, work for anyone, because you have a valuable skill that is highly in demand.

In a professional restaurant, excellent ventilation is vital

I work as a kitchen manager, a host, plus an expediter.

This means that I don’t cook, but I do manage all the cooks, which makes it my job to keep everything running smoothly.

I make the weekly schedule, I supervise the cooks on the line, plus I also manage the wait staff to make sure our customers stay happy and blissful. This is a legitimately hard job, but it’s a labor of love! I have ascertained that one of the most pressing aspects of managing the kitchen is ensuring there is proper ventilation plus temperature control. When the cooling doesn’t work it makes the cooks hot, hot, plus irritable, which does not translate to wonderful cooking. Fresh ventilation is even more pressing because without that the kitchen begins to smell, plus it can ruin the indoor air pollen levels for the entire pizzeria. No one wants to go out for a nice meal plus grimace and gripe over the terrible odor plus air quality of a dining hall with no ventilation. I have a local Heating plus A/C pro who works with my pizzeria on a bi-weekly basis. His name is Don, plus he moonlights with us as a hour job. His day job is with a sizable air conditioning company, however I pay Don under the table to perform basic cleaning, repair, plus upkeep for our ventilation system. My kitchen team keeps the cooking surfaces scrubbed plus neat at all times, plus Don makes sure the ventilation program is just as clean! Without Don’s bi-weekly HVAC duct plus exhaust program cleanings, the dishes we make wouldn’t be nearly as tasty.

Ed should have kept his mitts off the climate control unit

Ed got lazy, but, plus forgot to transport the temperature control back to the normal setting before I would return home from work, so we had a big argument about that.

It was my own fault for letting Ed stay here in the first site. She is my sibling, but he is also a wild child. Ed has gotten into trouble with the law more than twice, so I knew it was a risk to let him crash on my couch. On the other hand, it was my younger sibling, so how could I tell Ed no plus make him live in his car? For the 1st few afternoons everything stayed nice plus calm, then Ed was on his best behavior, even if he did a few little things to bug me. For example, Ed kept messing around with the settings on my control unit. Ed constantly liked being cold, plus was known to run the air conditioner day plus night. In his house that was fine, but this was my house plus I didn’t want to run the air conditioning so much. After that Ed tried to be sneaky, plus only changed the control unit setting while I was out of the house. Ed got lazy, but, plus forgot to transport the temperature control back to the normal setting before I would return home from work, so we had a big argument about that. I told Ed it wasn’t about the cost of running the air conditioning a little more, it was a matter of respect. Me asking Ed to leave the control unit alone was a legitimately self-explanatory request, plus when Ed ignored that it showed that he didn’t respect me. I told Ed if he put his hands on the climate control unit one more time I would kick him out plus he could go live in his car.

A garage heater was what I needed

I know that it’s a jerk move, making my friend sleep out in the garage, but it was the only way to restore normalcy to my home.

I have a friend named Bob, who was recently kicked out of his house by his spouse.

There was no chance he would take him back, it was brutal. Bob had no money plus no location to go; Bob asked to stay on my couch for a couple of afternoons, plus after consulting with my husband I said he could. A week later Bob was still there, with no prospects for anywhere else to go. I said if he wanted to stay long-term Bob would have to stay in the garage, so my family plus I could return to normal. The only complication was that the HVAC ducts for the Heating plus A/C program did not attach to the garage, so it was dangerously chilly out there. I went to the store to hunt for the best space heating system I could find, but those cost too much money so I went to a local pawn shop instead. There I found a nice garage heater, which is a variant model of space heater, for roughly half the price I found in other stores. I didn’t bother to ask Bob to help pay for the heater, because I knew he had no money. I want to be a wonderful friend, but providing Bob with food, water, comfort, plus heating is a lot to ask, so I hope he leaves soon. I can’t bring myself to kick Bob out, however I pray that he goes away!

Valentine’s Day is always hot and humid

Much to my surprise, Valentine’s Day is always tied up at my job.

My husband Ronnie plus I now celebrate it the weekend before the day itself, because I know that once V-Day arrives I will be so slammed at work plus I will have to stay late.

Three years in a row Ronnie plus I had to cancel Valentine’s plans because of extra work, which is why we changed the date. If you are like me then it will come as a surprise that demand for air conditioning repair work is so vital on this passionate holiday. There are a couple major reasons for this. First, lots of folks go out for an overpriced lunch on Valentine’s Day, so the pizzerias need to make sure their temperature control is working perfectly… Nobody wants to have their special date night spoiled by lousy air conditioner, right? Second, for those folks at the condo who want to spend a passionate night with their partners, temperature control is essential to the process. Imagine trying to get intimate with your partner if the air conditioning isn’t working plus you both are warm plus gross? To be sexy people need to know comfortable, which means quality temperature control! Ronnie doesn’t mind, because I constantly make a lot of extra money as a Heating plus A/C tech on the holiday! Valentine’s Day is one of the Top 10 busiest afternoons of the year when it comes to heating plus A/C work, but it’s not in the Top Three. The 3 busiest afternoons of the year for the Heating plus A/C industry are the Super Bowl, Christmas, plus Thanksgiving, in that order.

I needed a new Heating plus A/C unit for my kitchen

I have constantly loved to cook, but recently I wanted to take my passion to the next level plus become a professional caterer.

For ceremonies, galas, parties, or other events, or just to deliver home-cooked meals to families, I take orders from my website plus make food for people! Moving up from cooking for myself, to cooking for a paying customer meant that I needed to invest money in newer equipment.

I don’t mean just cooking equipment, either! The high level of cooking I would do meant I needed to provide my whole kitchen a facelift, starting with the Heating plus A/C system. The temperature control in the room needed an update, to offset all the heat generated by the oven, the mixer, the stove, plus the other equipment. I also needed to update my ventilation system, which included a brand new range hood plus an exhaust fan; You may not understand why I had to get a new Heating plus A/C unit in order to improve my cooking business, so let me explain it to you. Without proper ventilation in the kitchen, the indoor air pollen levels would degrade. When the indoor air pollen levels get low enough, it impacts the taste plus texture of the food… Poor ventilation will also cause the air in the house to become so gross that it might disrupt my senses of smell plus taste. I need wonderful ventilation to scrub the air in order to make sure my food is of the highest quality. With the new ventilation system, exhaust fan, plus the range hood, I am giving my new business a much better chance to succeed.

Tips for superior air quality and comic books

If you have a ton of money to invest in a new temperature control system, I propose getting one of those.

Comics can be a drastic business. Take it from me, I’m a professional appraiser with a specialty in evaluating the worth of comics, books, plus collectables, but collectables is a euphemism for “very old toys” which can also be legit extravagant. I work for an insurance company, plus when a customer needs to insure their collection of comics I am the man to take a look plus assign a value to the books. I assure you that I really enjoy my job. I have been a fan of comics my whole life, plus have a massive collection of my own. The most pressing aspect of maintaining your collection is having low indoor air pollen levels. Without the lowest level of indoor air pollen levels, your collection is bound to develop little issues such as mold or mildew… Even mediocre levels of humidity can make the pages stick together, so above all else get a dehumidifier for your collection room, and get the nicest, most powerful dehumidifier you can afford, plus leave it running at all times. If you have a ton of money to invest in a new temperature control system, I propose getting one of those. Along with a smart control unit, a dedicated temperature control program in your comic collection room will monitor all the levels plus keep your comic books safe plus secure. I understand that this option will require a whole lot of financial investment, so beginning with a dehumidifier plus take it from there. I have some customers with comic collections so extravagant that I mandate they must install a dedicated temperature control system, or we won’t insure their comic books.

I started doing A/C work under the table

My first major job was to set up a heating plus ventilation program for a local marijuana grower, but for evident reasons this cannabis farmer did not want to leave a common paper trail by going through one of the licensed Heating plus A/C companies.

I won’t bog you down with a long backstory on this, however I want you to understand how I came to be an outlaw Heating plus A/C tech. I worked for a local company over the last six years, so I had developed a wonderful reputation for fast work plus buyer service. One night I was out boozing when I got into a little scuffle, and after I got arrested, I lost my drivers license for 2 years, plus had to perform 200 hours worth of community service. My boss fired me, plus no one else wanted to take me because of what happened. I was still Heating plus A/C certified, but couldn’t find any employment! Because of this I started doing Heating plus A/C work “under the table.” This meant I inspected for cash only, plus left no paper trail. This was perfect for shady characters who needed some work done but didn’t want an Heating plus A/C company nosing around. My first major job was to set up a heating plus ventilation program for a local marijuana grower, but for evident reasons this cannabis farmer did not want to leave a common paper trail by going through one of the licensed Heating plus A/C companies. This guy absolutely needed some hot tips plus pointers from me, because he didn’t want the Heating plus A/C unit to drain too much power. This is how many pot growers are caught by utility companies seeing a spike in energy use, so he needed his new Heating plus A/C program to be powerful but efficient. I set him up with a new furnace, a humidifier, plus a small generator to keep everything running.

The salon got a boost from a new Heating plus A/C system

I had a wonderful program in my salon, however I couldn’t afford to upgrade it.

  • My beauty salon is rather successful so far, but still not as much as I would like.

My goal is to be the top salon in the city, the kind of hot spot where customers will wait for hours just to get a makeover, then in order to do that I needed to make a couple of swings, which would cost a lot more money then I had to spend. I talked to every company in the area, but without at least eight thousand bucks they couldn’t help me. I got desperate, plus asked my cousin Timmy for some help. I knew that Timmy was still taking night classes for his Heating plus A/C certification, which meant he was not a legal, licensed Heating plus A/C expert yet, but on the other hand he was family, plus would work cheap, so I pitched my program about the HVAC duct to Timmy… While the central Heating plus A/C program in the salon is fine, the HVAC ducts leave a lot to be desired. I wanted to expand the program of HVAC ducts, plus add at least a dozen more air vents into the work area! The goal was to have a fully directional air vent that could be pointed at every single chair in every single workstation. If all of my customers had complete control over their own heating plus cooling, it would make this salon seem a lot fancier. I told Timmy that I couldn’t pay him up front for the Heating plus A/C work, but that once it was done plus business improved I would pay him seven thousand dollars in cash.
