A Day In The Life of an “HVACer”
Sunday, January 17th, 2010This category of my blog posts deals with my personal stories of my experiences in the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) business, since 1980.
My objectives with telling these stories are three-fold, for starters, as other objectives will surely arise. The first is to give you, the reader, an eye-opening into this vastly misunderstood field of business in America. A field that affects everyone who lives, works, plays, eats, is entertained, or travels in a space that is heated, cooled, ventilated, refrigerated, or otherwise has its climate controlled in some fashion. Homes, commercial buildings, planes, trains and automobiles are climate controlled to a greater or lesser extent.
I've worked on HVAC systems in train cars, mushroom farms, a Budweiser bottle manufacturing plant - Saint Gobain Containers http://www.sgcontainers.com/index.nsf, a Saab 9000, a new restaurant...that failed http://chefmoz.org/United_States/NH/Concord/55_Degrees1149520411.html, old restaurants like The Libray Restaurant in Portsmouth, NH http://www.libraryrestaurant.com/, the oldest family-owned general store in America - Frisbees Market http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20090423-NEWS-90423035, an antique farm house upgraded to include panel radiators for Jed Schwartz Productions http://www.jedschwartz.com/JSPhome/jsp01.html, the home of the developer of the cable modem, Rouzbeh Yassini, who demanded "museum quality" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouzbeh_Yassini, Motel 6 and so many others.
Stay tuned and look for "A Day In The Life of an "HVACer" in the post heading! Please send a comment on any story you have feelings or thoughts of any sort about.
