Because I had previous experience in the heating and cooling industry, I often get asked for energy saving tips, or just general heat and A/C advice.
I was a heating and cooling tech for a few years, but then due to an accident, I can no longer work efficiently without severe pain. So now I am just an ordinary office worker. But I still get people asking about HVAC technology and equipment when they find out that I was once an A/C tech. I know it would bother some people, but I honestly don’t mind. I really wanted to be a cooling worker, so when I get to help people with their HVAC questions, it makes me feel like I am a cooling specialist again. Anyways, recently my sister in law had a question for me involving heating and cooling, and she asked if I could come over. I arrived at their place in the early afternoon, and she pointed out the ductwork to me, and asked if I could take a look at it. I was expecting a few tears of something, but I was incredibly surprised to see that the air ducts were completely ruined. I was in shock that they were living like this. The ductwork was probably ruined through time, but it also had some pretty nasty tears. I hated delivering the news to her, but she actually didn’t seem to be bothered that much. She told me she figured this would happen, and so she already called and planned for getting ductless air conditioning systems, which I thought was a smart plan.
