My uncle has worked in the HVAC industry for over a decade now and he always has wild stories to tell about the different customers he\u2019s encountered at every family gathering.<\/p>\n
He can rant for days about the cases he\u2019s seen where self-proclaimed handymen have tried and failed to fix their own malfunctioning HVAC equipment only to make the situation far worse and a lot pricier to fix.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He\u2019s very persistent in telling everyone to contact him right away if their air conditioner or furnace is experiencing any problems. 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, and I shrugged it off just like everyone else until I actually needed some assistance. Things were going just like any other day, near the beginning of June, when my AC started to make a loud rattling sound. 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 simple fix to the problem but he insisted on coming over himself to take a look at it. I was grateful for his help but 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, and some debris had managed to work its way down into the motors. He spent the night teaching me the proper way to clean out a gunked up HVAC system and he seemed happy to be of help to a member of the family. <\/p>\n
