There’s no doubt about that.
I’m the sort of old guy that really likes to keep learning. I have plenty of friends who are just so full of it and act like they know everything because we’re old. Not me, I like to learn something everyday. Recently that happened when it came to understanding what makes HVAC technicians professionals. I really didn’t know just what it takes to be a person who can service and repair any HVAC equipment. It’s far more than just being handy with heating and cooling equipment. And I found out this from a handyman. I’m pretty bad when it comes to household projects so I tend to turn to a guy that always comes through for me. He’s one of those guys that can fix anything and he’s really reasonably priced as well. But when I asked him to take a look at the air conditioning, he straight up said no. But then he gave me a really good lesson as to why HVAC repairs are only for an HVAC professional. He explained fully just how much education and training goes into being a certified and licensed HVAC professional. Not to mention all the early training and certifications that have to be earned through factory training. For sure, to be called an HVAC technician is to be called an HVAC professional. There’s no doubt about that. So that was something I learned that day. And I’m really glad because I have a whole new perspective on just how valuable and essential HVAC professionals really are. I’m just so glad to know because I can now tell my old fart friends that their full of it when they pretend they know all about heating and cooling.
