My uncle has worked in the HVAC industry for over a decade now as well as he constantly has wild stories to tell about the unusual patrons he’s encountered at every family gathering.
He can rant for afternoons about the cases he’s seen where self-proclaimed handymen have tried as well as failed to fix their own malfunctioning HVAC device only to make the situation far worse as well as a lot pricier to fix.
He’s easily persistent in telling everyone to contact him right away if their cooling system or heating system is experiencing any concerns. If you were to go by the way he talks about it, a broken HVAC system is only one step up from the end of the world, as well as I shrugged it off just like everyone else until I absolutely needed some assistance. Things were going just like any other morning, near the start of June, when my AC started to make a loud rattling sound, then of course, due to his frequent reminders to call him if something goes wrong, I knew to call my uncle about the problem. I tried to explain the noise to see if he could tell me a straight-forward fix to the concern even though he insisted on coming over himself to take a look at it. I was grateful for his help although I got an earful that night for the negligence of my system. The filters were blocked up from lack of cleaning, something I had overlooked, as well as some debris had managed to labor its way down into the motors. He spent the night teaching me the official way to clean out a gunked up HVAC system as well as he seemed cheerful to be of help to a member of the family.
