HVAC Tips for All

Lately I had been feeling bad about myself.

I was laying in bed next to my partner and fantasizing about the HVAC technician. I felt like I was cheating on him, but there wasn’t a real person there. I considered talking to my partner about how I was feeling, but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. I loved him to death, but there was something about the HVAC technician that caught my attention and I couldn’t break the bond. Three days later, the HVAC technician came back to the house to install the part he had ordered for the air conditioning unit. My partner was home that day, and I tried to act as normal as possible when he was talking to the HVAC technician. I couldn’t even stand to stay outside and see Bill talking to that man. I was jealous that he was the one who got to talk to the HVAC technician and I didn’t. After the HVAC technician left, Bill came into the house and sat down. He asked if I knew the guy had a crush on me? I could honestly say I had no clue. He told me the HVAC technician said he was going to ask me out when he came back. Although I was smiling on the outside, my insides were shaking. Had Bill not been there, I don’t know if I wouldn’t have considered going out on that date. I don’t know how Bill knew what I was thinking, but he told me it’s normal to fantasize about other people even if you are in a committed relationship. I realized how much I loved that man.

I had recently had my air conditioning unit repaired, and it took the HVAC technician about two hours to complete the job.

The entire time the HVAC technician was at the house, I was offering him iced tea and iced water.

He was so cute they I couldn’t stay away from. I also couldn’t believe I was flirting with him, and he was ignoring me. I considered going upstairs and putting on my bikini and doing some sunbathing. I was really glad I changed my mind about that when I walked into a restaurant a week later, and the HVAC technician was there. Had he been there doing work, I would not have felt so awkward. He was sitting at a very private table with a beautiful woman, and he had eyes for no one but her. I asked for a table that was far enough away from him he would not see me, but the maître d’ said he had nothing. My best friend and I ended up sitting just three tables away from the HVAC technician. I quickly jumped in the seat that wasn’t facing him, because I was praying he wouldn’t recognize me. I soon realized why he was ignoring my flirting. I admired him for being the man he was, but I still felt foolish. When the HVAC technician got up and took his wife’s arm, I thought he was going to pass by and my embarrassment would be over. Instead, he turned back around and said how nice it was to see me again, introduced his wife, and walked away.

The sun had weathered his skin as much as it weathered the air conditioning units he worked on

Last week, I called the HVAC company to have some work done on my air conditioning unit. I still had cool air coming from the AC unit, but I been hearing a few strange noises over the last three days. This time of year, it often took longer for an HVAC technician to arrive because of breakdowns that occur during heat waves. It surprised me it took him less than a week to arrive at my house. When the HVAC technician arrived, I showed him to the air conditioning unit and offered him a glass of iced tea. It was so hot outside that I couldn’t let him work with the sun beating down on him and not having something cold to drink. He refused the iced tea, but he accepted a bottle of energy drink that I had in the fridge. I noticed he kept looking into the kitchen window at me as he worked on my air conditioning unit. I thought he looked familiar, but I thought maybe he was someone my brother graduated with, and my brother was almost 10 years older than I was. You can’t imagine how shocked I was when he told me his name and this time it clicked. I had graduated high school with this man, and yet he looked so much older. The sun had weathered his skin as much as it weathered the air conditioning units he worked on. Before realizing who the HVAC technician was, I thought he was at least 50 years old. When I finally recognized him, I realized he was no older than I was, and I was only 32.

I was on my last AC repair last week; the gate that led to the backyard was locked.

I knocked on the front door and waited for the owner of the house to answer. I heard someone yell just a minute, when a little boy about five-years-old, opened the door. He told me his mommy was playing with soap bubbles, and he was going to show me where the air conditioning unit was. As he showed me through the kitchen, I saw where his mommy was doing dishes and there were indeed a lot of soap bubbles. When I walked over to the air conditioning unit, the little boy was behind me. He didn’t say a word, but he sat cross-legged with his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands. He watched with the intensity of someone who was trying to memorize each step. When he didn’t understand what I was doing, he asked me to tell him and show him again. I told him he was a pretty smart little guy, and he stood up and told me he was 5 1/2 and going to school when summer was over. I asked him if he was going to go to HVAC school or if he was going to kindergarten? He sat back down and took his position and told me his mommy said he had to go to kindergarten. He said he would rather go to HVAC school, because it would be more fun. When I told him he got snacks and they got to play games in kindergarten, he said he would wait to go to HVAC school after kindergarten.

When you are an HVAC technician, you come across some pretty bizarre situations.

I am going into stranger’s homes that would normally not allow a stranger into their home.

I am working on air conditioning units out in the middle of nowhere, and anything could happen. I love my job, but every once in a while you come across a situation I am just not sure how to handle. Last week, I was called to do an emergency repair on an air conditioning unit. It was 93° out, with 100% humidity, and when I got the call, all I wanted to do was help these people out. When I got to the house, I knocked on the front door, but no one answered. I heard people in the backyard, so I headed back there. I no sooner got around the house and spied the air conditioning unit, but I also saw a man laying on the lounger by the pool. Normally, this would not phase me, but the man was totally nude. I looked away and asked if he was the person who had called for emergency air conditioning repair? The man had the decency to wrap his robe around himself before approaching me. I found the air conditioning unit, and all I needed was for him to tell me what had happened? He said they were in the living room playing games to escape the heat when the air conditioning quit working. He walked to this chair, removed his robe and laid back down. I worked as quickly as I could to get the AC unit repaired. When a coworker asked me how the AC repair went, I said it was just another day of work.
