The easier times of life
Ever since things went crazy in the world 2 years ago with the COVID pandemic and all, life has been increasingly tough to survive and make a living in certain fields.
I happen to be in one of them, which is the heating and air conditioning business.
I can not remember the last time I had steady work in going to install or repair central heating and air conditioning systems. It seems that the only way people have been calling any kind of heat and a/c experts in the last 2 years has been if it was a true heating and air conditioning emergency. And even then they are calling heating and air conditioning companies and not independent heat and a/c workers like me. They have put off all of their HVAC tune up and check ups, their ductwork cleaning and any other kind of heat and a/c maintenance. Only the absolute emergencies when they had no heating or air conditioning has been the only time they are calling for heat and a/c home services. And again, they are rarely calling independent heating and cooling specialists. They feel safer I guess with the heating and cooling companies because they tend to be more strict with mask wearing than the independent heating and air conditioning specialists. I wear a mask always since the pandemic when on an HVAC job. But the customer doesn’t know that because it is not like I advertise it! Maybe I need to moving forward. I sure miss the easier times of life pre-2020.
