I have been a pro Heating and A/C service tech for almost five years, but my stepmom Ed still wouldn’t let me work on his Heating and A/C equipment.
Ed thought that since the Heating and A/C device was owned by a family member, I would do a less than stellar job as compared to someone else.
I tried to tell him I would do a better job, because I wouldn’t want to disappoint Ed, even though he didn’t know me well. I didn’t care whose Heating and A/C device I was working on. I knew that separate from a heater or an air conditioner, I am playing with someone’s comfort, and possibly their lives. I take my job as an Heating and A/C service tech quite seriously. I want to make sure people I work for are cheerful and comfortable in their houses when I leave. I don’t know how to make Ed understand that when I say people, I mean him also! Last month, Ed called and asked if I would work on Grandma’s air conditioner. Ed knew it wasn’t working well, and the weather wasn’t the nicest this time of year. There were wicked storms rolling through, and the hot and cold temperatures were well above ninety. Ed didn’t want Grandma to go separate from the air conditioner, and no one else was available. Grandma thought I was the finest Heating and A/C serviceman he had ever had in his house. I wish I could make Ed realize I would do the same job for him and mom as I did for Grandma. Maybe Grandma can convince Ed to let me work on his Heating and A/C equipment. I would do the work for the price of replacement parts, and Ed wouldn’t need to worry about their Heating and A/C equipment ever again.
