Our hospital needed a new HVAC technician for a long time.
Most heating and cooling companies offer great air conditioner and furnace technicians, but the particular HVAC technician who fixed our hospital cooling units and heaters was horrible. One day, the hospital central air conditioner stopped working, and it began to feel like a furnace inside the emergency room. We called our HVAC technician and asked him to come help fix our a/c unit. The HVAC technician arrived an hour later than scheduled, and he even forgot some of his cooling and heating equipment. When asked if he could fix the central air conditioner he responded “yea, i guess” with an eye roll. He was rude and unprofessional! When he started taking apart the central air conditioner, everyone quickly realized that this man was not at all a cooling technician. He took the air conditioner apart like you would a furnace, and began using his cooling and heating equipment improperly. He cussed at the central air conditioner in frustration. Later we learned that this HVAC technician had never worked on a central air conditioner in his life, or any type of cooling unit for that matter. He had only ever fixed portable space heaters and oil furnaces. As he continued to “fix” the a/c unit, he got increasingly angry. Finally, he began kicking the central air conditioner and hitting it with the cooling and heating equipment. We had to call security and have him removed form the cooling room. We called the heating and cooling company and they fired that horrible HVAC technician that same day.
