My husband was doing really well in his job, and now everyone wants to know why he suddenly became an HVAC technician.
I tell them he became an HVAC tech on a whim, but that isn’t the truth.
He was into plumbing for years, and he realized how closely related HVAC and plumbing was. He wanted to extend his services, and with HVAC, he could offer clients radiant heated flooring. He had a lot of people inquiring about radiant heat when he got his HVAC certification, but I feel that fad has gone away. People were finding out that every surface touching the flooring was heated, and it was uncomfortable for most people. He’With the big move toward ductless HVAC which doesn’t require you to use fossil fuel, he is once again using his expertise. Now, he is considering getting his certification to be an electrician. He’ll have the knowledge of the use of conduit and wiring, and still be able to tell people how to work the HVAC system. Since most jobs work with plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems, his plumbing business will be a full-service company. My only concern is that I’m his bookkeeper and scheduler. I hope he has people working for him who are just plumbers, electricians, or HVAC techs. I would hate to send someone out to work on an HVAC system that doesn’t have any knowledge of them. I told him this and he laughed. He told me that within a year, he was going to have everyone who worked for him cross trained and able to do every job.
