My first job out of college was being an HVAC technician.
I loved my job and enjoyed helping people get the best air quality possible in their home.
Through working for HVAC I got a thorough understanding of how air conditioners and furnaces work and what to look for in a dysfunctional unit. This knowledge has given me tons of opportunities in my life to help others even when I wasn’t on the job. A few years ago I went on vacation from my heating and cooling business to try to get refreshed. I was in a foreign country and decided to visit the king’s palace. I noticed the air vents strategically installed throughout the building and I was impressed by the air quality of the palace except for in the throne room. The throne room was not air conditioned at all, as a matter of fact, it was super hot! I talked with the palace technician and he told me the air conditioning stopped working that morning and he was concerned because the king was supposed to come that evening. The cooling technician took me outside to where the air conditioning unit was sitting. I took the air conditioner apart and quickly located the problem. Some of the cooling coils were broken in half! I replaced the cooling coils and put the air conditioner back together. Within an hour the throne room was cool and comfortable. The king of that country rewarded me with free tours of all their attractions and a free gift from their HVAC store. It is amazing what you can do with HVAC technician skills.
