My husband may not be an HVAC technician, but he knew all about air conditioning units.
Ever since we bought this house, he has been working on our air conditioning unit.
He admits he knows nothing about a furnace, and that’s where he draws the line. He was born and raised in the south, and they didn’t have furnaces. Everyone had air conditioning, and they did their own work. His dad was an HVAC technician, and he was one of the best in their area. Everyone around would call his dad if they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the air conditioning. After storms, he would be the one going from house to house, or camp to camp, cleaning the AC units and getting them working again. My husband picked up a lot of his skill from his father. He said he enjoyed working with his dad, and he often went to houses when his dad couldn’t get there right away. He did a lot of the air conditioning cleaning, and he would get the AC units running shortly after the storm passed. Now, he was working on the air conditioning in our home. He did an excellent job, even if he wasn’t an HVAC technician. He said he will never work on any AC unit except ours, unless our children were in desperate need. They didn’t know how good he was at AC repairs, so they were never going to call. That was a good thing, because I didn’t want him getting overwhelmed. Between us, we had nine children, and a couple of thing would use anyone if it meant saving a little money.
