20 things you expereince if you've been in the HVAC trade long enough.

Just a reminder of what you have already experienced. If you've been in the trade long enough, you probably experienced all of these in some similar form or another And also to remind you that likely you will continue to experience one or more of these on a weekly basis depending on the volume of calls you do.

#1: "it's that dirty? we just changed those filters last week."

#2: "The unit we had at the last place we lived got down to 65".

#3: "$5000 to put in a single ductless unit?? They are selling them online for $1500".

#4: "A diagnostics fee? It says free estimates on your website".

#5: "it's ok, We have a maintenance contact already for our steam boiler and AC unit. We have that worry free protection plan from the power company that covers all our appliances."

#6: "Hi, I'm looking for AC service. I think it just needs freon"

#7: "Before you leave, do you think you have some time to look at this desktop refrigerator that holds 1 beverage? I bought it on wayfair 3 months ago and it stopped working."

#8: "Can you come at 530PM? I have to leave at 6pm to pick up my son from practice but if I'm not here, my 13 year old daughter will be home to let you in just in case."

#9: "Hi, thanks for coming so late at night on a Sunday. The unit we are having problems with is upstairs in our bedroom window. We just bought it last month from Home Depot."

#10: "Are you sure it's a broken motor? Last year when it went down, he changed the capacitor, and only charged me $20."

#11: "I installed this ductless unit I bought online called 超强速冷 and it doesn't work. If I send you a picture of it, do you think you can tell me how much it will cost to fix it?"

#12: "$600 to fill it up with gas? You have to be kidding me, I know someone that will sell me one of those big industrial size containers of it for $100"

#13: "can you clean the ducts too?, do you think I need it?"

#14:"how much was it again? 600? If I pay you cash can you do it for $300?"

#15: I stood above it and ran water on it outside for 30 minutes to cool it down. My neighbor said it worked for him but the temperature inside hasn't dropped yet. What do you think it can be?

#16: "Oh hey! One more thing I forgot to tell you. Be extra careful where you step while you're back there. There's a lot of spots where the dog......omg you already stepped in it?? I'm so sorry!"

#17: "is there anyway you can fix it for very cheap so that it works just enough to last 2 days? We are closing on the house in 2 days, and the final inspection is tomorrow."

#18: "Hi, i got your number from my father, you replaced his 4 ton system a few years ago for $6000. Do you think you can give us the same deal? We have a smaller system too"

#19: "I got my electrician to look at it, he told me he thinks the transformer is undersized and he pointed out the power wire going to it is technically not within code and that could be the problem also. Do you think you can make it within code again?"

#20: "I was in the tin knockers Union for 40 years...we used have a crew that can knock out a full install in 2 hours. They don't make men like that anymore"
