It’s only been a few weeks and here we go again! I hate the fact that we are so great at our jobs but what keeps us from becoming exceptional HVAC techs is our frustration and little arguments with each other.
This last incident occurred because of an air conditioning job we did at one of the local businesses.
Myself, John thought we could do a simple quick fix to the system while Mark wanted to replace the whole system. This lasted for a good 15 or so minutes until Jane, the building owner walked in on us. One of the employees complained about how we were acting unprofessional and it was disturbing their work. The employee was right after all and these are the exact situations I’m afraid Mark and I would get into. She asked what the issue was and I tried explaining it a bit but Mark jumped in and gave her the rundown. He explained to her that my idea would be best for a short term fix, maybe a year or maybe 5 but his would last decades and there will be a warranty put onto the new HVAC system. I guess at the end we were both right and Mark’s idea was most definitely better for the long haul. Jane said she is more than happy to replace the whole system because her business isn’t going anywhere and she wouldn’t want us to be back here in a year again in case the repairs we do now are not long lasting. We ordered the parts and said we will be in the next day to replace the old HVAC system with a newer one.
