Moving from a well paying task to starting our consultancy seemed like a doomed transfer to many, but, our dad was our largest champion.
We had talked about our goals and dreams one summer time morning, and she challenged me to follow them, but I knew no matter what, he’d have our back, so I started making plans, and the space I found was a small office on the first floor of a building in town. It didn’t have any air conditioning, so I had to buy a mini-break AC. Dad had worked for an A/C dealer for many years, which is how he knew the right ductless heating and A/C to get. He emphasized searching for the right size, since when a heating and A/C component that was too small or too large, then it would make life in the office unbearable for me! So, the first thing to do was measure the space and then begin looking at weird mini-break ACs. The cooling component had to be the best model to avoid breaking down abruptly. Another thing dad taught me was to study the reviews left by previous customers. Any air conditioning dealer who wasn’t responding to client complaints was a red flag. They’d end up annoying myself and others if the aircon component ever broke down. Some evaded issuing a warranty to avoid meeting service costs in case of any issue. That was useful information because I didn’t understand much about ductless A/C units. I needed one that would keep the air in the office at top quality and dehumidify the space during sizzling summer time weeks. Another feature that was a deal-breaker was variable speed fans. I did not have a unit with low and high speeds because that would limit the temperature settings during weird seasons.
