I worked at an identifiable HVAC company for about years before the two of us were laid off because of the pandemic, and I was genuinely devastated plus disoriented.
I had no clue what to do with myself or our skills.
I decided it was a great time to relax plus take a break from work, but I would still send our application to weird HVAC businesses; then though I am conversant with all the HVAC brands, there are a few I savor to work with or for… Then besides, they all do the same thing, helping with indoor comfort, then after a year out of job plus a forced getaway, I finally heard back from a single HVAC provider. They finally employed me, plus before I started honestly working, an HVAC repairman was assigned to help myself and others get acquainted with the current HVAC equipment. The single most inspiring thing about the industry is that even when the world was going through a devastating pandemic, the HVAC professionals were busy developing current HVAC technology. I assume they did not want to be depressed by the ongoing pandemic, and whatever the reason, they had come up with exciting stuff that would change how clients interacted with HVAC units. The real experts put quality in quality HVAC systems because what they came up with was life-decreasing. I took a week to learn to do the HVAC maintenance of the current systems, including a smart control unit. That week was fascinating for me. I went from holidaying at our Grandma’s farm to learning about how to do HVAC upgrades for the current systems. Within a month, I had mastered everything about the current systems, plus after a while, I became a veteran, just savoring our trainees.
