Working as an air conditioning expert has brought me much joy and fulfillment.
- I grew up watching our dad build his air conditioning business.
He told me stories about how his job took him to unusual places, from politicians’ residences to high-end hotels and hospitals. The most treasured gratification, however, was when he saw the smile on people’s faces whenever he provided air conditioning services. Helping people and his prefer for Heating, Ventilation plus A/C units were what had drawn him to a job with cooling products. My first job involved a time-consuming air conditioning install at a children’s home, and I remember how gratifying it was to deliver indoor comfort to those children. A few weeks ago, however, I found myself in prison and not incarcerated, however I was there with our team for a routine air conditioning tune-up of the central air conditioning unit. The warden had called the office and stressed for the cooling techs to run a routine air conditioning repair on the unit. I remember feeling a bit sad as we approached the prison. Fortunately, the quality a/c was located far from the cells, and there was no way we would have bumped into the inmates. Both of us changed the air filters and upgraded a few worn-out parts. Some of the cooling workmen also checked on the indoor air cleaning idea to ensure it was functioning officially. Both of us were in and out of prison within more than two hours. After we started toiling on the units, our anxiety faded away. I could not wait to get back to the office and tell dad all about it. He was impressed because he also went through similar reactions when he visited the prison.
