Clean the cooling ducts

Eugene is the building service worker for our big office complex.

He was given the job to clean the cooling ducts, Eugene had never done anything like this before, he assumed it would be easy. In order for him to get started, he climbed to the ceiling and unlocked the ducts. He began to perspire as he stared into the complex cooling air duct, knowing he had no idea where to start. Trouble soon found him, soon after looking down into one of the vents, he saw a small mouse peeking out. Eugene saw the mouse look at him, its nose twitched, and then it darted off into the network of pipes. Eugene abruptly had a fantastic idea. He decided to pursue the mouse into the ventilation system. He wasted no time in entering the duct and started his pursuit of the mouse. He had to get on his belly and crawl through the slender duct. He continued to creep along behind the mouse as it darted through the ventilation system. Eugene was so absorbed in his pursuit of the mouse that he failed to notice he had crawled past the exit. A loud noise erupted abruptly from behind him. When she turned around, the door had closed securely behind him. Our building service worker got stuck in the a/c ducts! His anxiety level rose and he shouted for assistance, but no one heard him. He had been trapped in the ducts for hours before the department finally arrived to free him. In order for them to free Eugene, they had to cut a hole in the duct. Eugene learned a taxing lesson this week but it’s a story I’ll remember forever.

My friends own a HVAC corporation

My buddy owned a small A/C company, she made her customers glad and was a fantastic woman.

She got a lot of a/c service calls this past summer.

Oddly, all the people’s AC broke down. A purchaser with AC problems called my buddy one afternoon. She did her job and checked out the cooling equipment at their house. It was an older model, and she could tell it had better days. It was beyond repair. My buddy felt compelled to assist the worried customer. She commanded they be replaced with new equipment and commanded one of her top-of-the-line a/c products. My buddy persuaded the purchaser that it would be more efficient and save them money. They approved the replacement, and my buddy started laboring. She tested the modern equipment after installing it. The purchaser enjoyed the results. The modern a/c kept the home cool, even in the hottest part of the afternoon and it was much quieter than the seasoned one. They thanked him and said they’ll request him from their friends. As word spread about my friend’s cooling business, she was getting more calls. She needed and had hired a few more people to help with the workload and expanded her cooling company. Her patrons enjoyed being able to get everything they needed from one stadium, so she started selling heat and AC products. Her company grew over the years. She was the cooling expert in the area. She never forgot her roots and typically made sure her patrons were glad. She even created a scholarship for local cooling students. It was her way of thanking our community.

The family that ran an A/C business

The Millers owned a small family company that sold and installed AC products for homes and businesses! They had a nice reputation and a successful business.

One afternoon a local shop’s AC equipment broke down.

The temperatures rose abruptly, making it impossible for workers to concentrate at the shop, but Jack knew the owner had to call the A/C repairman instantly, when Mr. Miller showed up and knew instantly what the complication was. The AC unit’s compressor was broken. The compressor, which Mr. Miller described as the “heart, ” needed to be replaced for the AC equipment to be repaired. Jack was glad that Mr. Miller would be able to service it, but what about the cost? Mr. Miller gave him a quote and Jack was pleasantly surprised by the cost and how affordable it was! It didn’t take Mr. Miller long but the air conditioning equipment was back up and running again. The staff was harshly glad as the cool air began to flow through the air vents. Jack thanked Mr. Miller is looking to do some replacements since it has been forever and the new A/C system that she has should be replaced sooner rather than later. Mr. Miller understood the importance of having a fantastic A/C system, especially for the shop that Jack owns so she said he’ll do a complete look over his A/C system but he doesn’t think that Jack has to worry about anything for another few years. Jack knew he could trust Mr. Miller long before that afternoon and made sure to have Mr. Miller come to look at his A/C system once again the following year.

Heating technician

The HVAC tech ordered me to go in the house.

I had the bossiest HVAC technician last week.

He had the nerve to order me to go in the house and leave him alone.

I was stumbling into the house, I was so angry. I stood inside, looking out the window, and stewing over how overbearing he was. My foot was tapping, and all I wanted to do was go outside, kick the HVAC technician in the butt, and watch him fall into the air conditioning unit. The picture was still in my mind when he knocked on the door. I wasn’t polite when I yelled to him and asked what he wanted. He smiled and told me he wanted to discuss the bill with me. Instead of inviting him in, I told him to send it in the mail. I didn’t want him in my house. I ordered him to put it on the floor and go to his service van. I heard him chuckle when he left, but I was too angry to get angry about him laughing at me. Later that day, I was telling my best friend what had happened. She asked what I had done that he thought it was okay to tell me to go into the house. I told her I was being friendly and talking to him about the air conditioning unit. She started laughing and said I was being myself, and just being a nuisance. I was never a nuisance, but I did talk a lot. The HVAC technician who was there knew me well, since he was the only HVAC technician I ever had. Maybe I was being a nuisance.

New heating

I wanted three estimates for an HVAC system.

It was a bit higher than those I thought were outrageous, but they had it down as a quote and not an estimate.

I wasn’t someone who took the word on the cost of an expensive appliance. I look on every website available to see where I can get it at the cheapest price, and hopefully with free delivery and installation. When I knew it was time for a new HVAC system, I called every HVAC company in the area to find who would give me a free estimate of equipment and work. I wanted three estimates for the HVAC system, but I ended up with four. Two of them were so high-priced, I knew I couldn’t afford to have them work for me. One of the estimates didn’t have nearly the amount of work included that I was sure would need to be done, according to the other three estimates. Even though he was the lowest estimate, I didn’t trust them with their ability to estimate the cost of the HVAC equipment and work. When I looked at the fourth estimate for the HVAC system, they had everything written down the two higher estimates included. They also had prices and length of work to replace other things necessary, and to clean, repair and sanitize the ductwork. It was a bit higher than those I thought were outrageous, but they had it down as a quote and not an estimate. I was impressed with the amount of work they did on the estimate. I called them up and asked when they could do the work for me. A month later, I had all the HVAC equipment and they were beginning the installation. For once, I didn’t mind buying something that wasn’t the cheapest.

My husband backed into the air conditioning unit.

When Harry pulled in, my husband asked if I asked for him

I knew I shouldn’t have laughed, but my husband is always talking about how badly I drive. He thinks it is funny to see me make mistakes, but he doesn’t think he makes any. Last week, he was flustered about something that happened at work. He was pulling into the driveway and angry because I hadn’t parked the car correctly. He readjusted his angle for pulling in. I heard him rev up, but before I could look out I heard a sound. My eyes were closed, and I was waiting for him to start screaming for me. When I looked where the car was rammed into the air conditioning, I lowered my head. I didn’t want him to see the brightness of my eyes, or the laughter I was trying to hold in. With just a hint of sarcasm, I looked at him and asked who was the bad driver now, then ran into the house. He didn’t come into the house for almost an hour, but I knew he was in the car. I called the HVAC company and asked them to send someone out to look at the air conditioning unit. I couldn’t keep from laughing when the secretary asked what happened. I’m sure everyone knew about my husband’s temper and now they knew about his driving into the ac unit. What is really funny, is that his best friend was the HVAC technician they sent to inspect the air conditioning unit. When Harry pulled in, my husband asked if I asked for him. I shook my head and told him no. I guessed it was luck that Harry would be the one to look at the air conditioning unit.

We live by a church and an HVAC company.

I know all the sounds that are around our home.

  • When we moved into the house, it was a quiet area.

There was train that went through the far end of our backyard, and we heard the sound of the whistle every time the train went by, until we got used to it. There was a centuries old church about a block away, and the bells toll every hour and bring beautiful music to the air at noon, and for services. Five years ago, they built a firehouse about six doors down, and whenever the fire alarms go off, everyone jumps. This past year, the local HVAC company opened another office, and it is across the street. What used to be a quiet area, is now becoming a growing community, and it is growing faster than my husband likes. The only thing he approves us is the HVAC company. If we need service on any part of our HVAC system, all we need to do is call. If there is an HVAC technician available, all he needs to do is walk across the street and see what is wrong. They don’t need to bring parts, because they can just walk over and bring what they need. My husband tells everyone we live by a church and an HVAC company because he enjoys them being in the neighborhood. He could do without the train and fire company, because their whistles and rumbles drive him crazy. It wouldn’t surprise me if he decides it is time to move. He has been talking about it for a year now, and if he could find a home with an HVAC company nearby, he would move in a heartbeat.

No one knew what happened to the HVAC technician.

The person who answered the phone said he was on his way

My neighbor and I had HVAC appointments on the same day. She and I had been talking and I told her I had to call and get an appointment to have my air conditioning unit serviced. She told me she had to do the same thing, but it took so long for them to come to the house. We thought that if we called and requested the same day, we would get service more quickly. If the HVAC company had more than one appointment in the same area, they should be more likely to come to the house and do the servicing quickly. I called first and told Lydia when my appointment was. She then called the HVAC and told them she lived next door, and asked if they could service both of us on the same day. Her appointment was set up for an hour after mine. I assumed that gave the HVAC technician time to do all the paperwork for my AC unit, and then he would work on his. We didn’t know there was someone across the street that called at the same time. On the day of my servicing, I waited for almost two hours past my appointment time. When the HVAC technician hadn’t arrived, I called the HVAC company and asked what had happened. The person who answered the phone said he was on his way. I called my neighbor, but she hadn’t yet heard from the HVAC. It seemed that no one knew what happened to the HVAC technician, until we saw him pull out of a driveway halfway down the street from us.

I didn’t understand the HVAC technician.

I thought I was going deaf last week.

  • We had a new HVAC technician come to the house.

I couldn’t understand a word he was saying. I asked him to slow down, but he kept talking. I wanted to scream at him and tell him I wasn’t understanding him, but he just looked at me. I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle this, because eventually he would sit down with me and tell me what he had found in the air conditioning unit. He was outside working on the air conditioning unit, when I noticed something odd. He had what looked like earphones in, but I couldn’t tell if he was listening to music. I went out to say something to him, but he didn’t hear the door. When I tapped him on the shoulder, he was startled. I realized they weren’t ear phones, but they were hearing aides. He couldn’t talk because he was deaf. I offered him iced tea, and he watched my lips when I talked. When the HVAC technician came into the house to discuss the AC unit, he apologized for earlier. He told me he was deaf and hadn’t changed his batteries that morning. His wife was going to drop the batteries off at the HVAC companies and he would pick them up on the way home. I smiled, not caring about the batteries. I felt like I was going deaf when I couldn’t understand what he was saying. My husband was forever telling me how I didn’t listen and I should turn up my hearing aides. I don’t have hearing aides.

I couldn't breathe without air conditioning.

Everybody tells me that once you hit a certain age, you no longer have heat flashes.

I am hear to tell you they are wrong.

I went through menopause and had heat flashes when I was in my fifties. I am now almost seventy and the heat flashes have returned. They are worse than I remember in my fifties, and almost unbearable at night. My husband gets angry because I open the window in the middle of the night to get some air, but it’s the only way I can breathe. When he started complaining, I put the window air conditioning unit in and turn the air vents toward me. I was suddenly sleeping again, and I could breathe. My heat flashes not only make me sweat and become anxious, but they lead to panic attacks. I can’t breathe, and everything in my body is shaking. With the air conditioning, I can turn the thermostat really low, and I am more comfortable. The heat flashes don’t go away, but they are bearable. The cool air hitting my face, makes me feel like I am out in a blazing sun with high humidity. It isn’t like I am going to spontaneously combust. My husband complains about it being cold in the bedroom now that I have the air conditioning on, but I don’t care. I gave him an electric blanket, and we are both able to sleep. My doctor says the heat flashes should pass fairly quickly, but I’m not taking the chance. I will have my air conditioning running even if it’s fifty in the house. Just the breeze blowing over me makes me feel better.
