I started my career training with the best HVAC tech in the heating industry.
It was years of work and learning moments but it all paid off. I now have my heating dealership. Working here is one of my favorite things to do. I get to learn so much about people as well as the heat and AC products that I sell. It has taken a lot of this business to remain standing years later. There have been colleagues in the market that have given me advice and helped me through some difficult situations. When Covid broke out, our business suffered because it entailed a lot of interaction with people’s spaces. For instance, furnace/heater installation requires us to be in people’s living space. We needed to strategize so that we could keep our operations running. We reported doing heating repairs on heaters wearing full protective gear including high-quality masks, gloves, and foot protector bags. Our highest selling products for the longest time running were the furnace filters and the wireless thermostats. I had met customers who were drawn to electric heating systems while others opted for heated floors. The latter was the most recent invention in the market and homeowners were going crazy for this type of boiler. I once led a team to do heater maintenance on the furnace in the president’s office. My best achievement so far was, however, designing the HVAC service plan for the company. Three decades of working in the industry had shown me a lot and I was grateful for the opportunity. Even though I loved working, I couldn’t wait to retire and vacation till I tap out.
