I thought I had all the answers even before the HVAC worker showed up at the house, but our a/c machine was broken, and the boiler was aging.
I was sure he was going to look at the a/c machine and tell us it needed to be updated.
I was going to tell him to install a new HVAC system in the house, instead of just replacing the a/c. I didn’t want a central HVAC. I wanted something that would be less work and cleaner to run. I was going to have him order and install ductless HVAC for my home. The morning the HVAC worker was supposed to arrive, I was up early, and waiting for him. I knew he had a three-hour window, but my appointment was for 8 AM. How much later could he be so early in the morning? He didn’t arrive until almost 10 AM, which had me slightly upset. He went right to work on the a/c, and I was waiting for him to tell me the A/C machine could not be fixed. Instead, he told me it was just a matter of putting some coolant in the a/c unit, and it would be fine. I was annoyed. I asked him what kind of HVAC worker he was so that he could not tell me the a/c machine was broken so I could get a new HVAC system? He told me if I wanted a new HVAC system that was fine, even though he wasn’t going to lie and tell me the A/C machine wasn’t fixable. I felt stupid after talking to the HVAC worker, because he thought I wanted him to forget about being an HVAC tech and just tell me what I wanted to hear.
