As I drove past the air conditioning company on my way from my second-day job, my car broke down thrice that week.
I was still holding on to it because it was not a classic old model but simply because I couldn’t afford another car. I had the option of selling it but could not bring myself to sell it. An indoor comfort business van stopped next to me, and the a/c serviceman asked if I needed any help. I told him my car had broken down, and he offered me a ride since we were heading in the same direction. On the way, he mentioned the address where he was going to conduct air conditioning repair. I realized that he was born in my home. I told him about all my problems with the HVAC unit. He asked me how often I have an air conditioning technician conduct a/c service. When I told him I rarely called for HVAC maintenance, he told me that could be why the quality air conditioner kept breaking down. I hesitated to lead him to the HVAC installation because my house was messy. He did not seem to notice or ignored it and went ahead to fix the multi-split air conditioning system. After he finished, he reset the thermostat. He told me everything else about the a/c setup was okay, but I would have to call the air conditioning provider to order a new filter in less than a month. On the way out, he told me that the work I was doing in the kitchen was impressive, and I smiled for the first time that day. Every day, I learned more about air conditioning and the cooling industry. The air quality greatly improved.
