Sometimes it’s incredible when you talk to people who are supposed to be knowledgeable experts in their field and realize that they are missing a few important connections in their brain. It really makes you question everything that you believed before. Are they trustworthy? Can you rely on them for anything? Have you been paying them for absolutely no reason in the past? This is what I have been struggling with in the past few weeks since my heating and cooling technician really threw me a curveball. Let me be clear, I have been using the same indoor air quality control devices since I moved into this house 10 years ago. At that time, I called the nearest heating, cooling, and ventilation control dealership to purchase, install, and maintain my expensive air handling equipment. I have never had a single issue with my indoor air handling devices since the day that they were installed. I have largely chalked this up to consistently arranging professional maintenance and service appointments for my air conditioner and forced air furnace. Of course, having confidence in my local heating and cooling repair company factors into this as well. I have always trusted my central HVAC technician to diagnose, inspect, and repair my modern HVAC system. That is, until last week. We were chit-chatting about my heating & cooling costs when he mentioned that he never bothered with indoor air handling maintenance appointments himself. At his family home, rather than professionally maintaining his forced air furnace or air conditioning unit… They just pray that the HVAC units would stay working. Uh, maybe I need a different HVAC worker.
