Heating and Refrigeration (HVAC) Repair

yeah, the job does sort of push you to smoke and drink loads of coffee.
much like truckdrivers do.

is it custom in the states to drink loads of beer after work on friday afternoon too ?

same here in europe,
my "boss" excuses the insane workload by
saying:
" i can't get more mechanics/engineer.
there just aren't any more around"

he actually thinks they grow on trees or something. that retard.

maybe most people don't understand that todays problems can't all be solved by a oldfashioned
plumber with a set of pliers and a hammer ?

all great stuff, domotica, high tec "smart buildings" and all,
but if there is nobody to maintain it,
it's totally useless.

Yes I talked to many old timers in the industry and they told me about going into HVAC to get lots of calcium and walk allot. And stay away from smoking and caffinated drinks especially colas.

calcium and go for walks ? are you for real ?

yeah i heard about the problems with the housing industry, it's real bad.

one good thing is, i agree, the occasional
nice cash job.
it's easy in this line of work.

if you are realy only 20 years old,
you can't say that it saved your knees.
i'll talk to you in 10 years.

it's the same overhere,
but homeowners don't care, it's got to be cheap,
so they get the crap they ordered for.

gas heaters is a different story,
it's just too risky,
people actually die because they have to be cheap, or because the company who install's the heater needs to make more and more profit.

Yup. In this part of the USA they don't enforce building codes or have educated people traing the new guys so it's the "blind leading the blind"!
Go lookup the username "hackfreehvac" on youtube and look for youself! :)

Yeah I have one of those rolling tool cases from stanley and my top tray sits on the handle bar. I mean sure you do allot of standing and bending and I even have to lay on the floor sometimes but these people all talk like there old and crippled. Get lots of calcium and go for walks.

Im from Minnesota and right now the housing industry is flat lined and theres not a lot of work, however you can still always pull a nice cash job now and then...
