I have a big problem in this world, just like everyone else.
Money.
I wish that we didn’t need to worry about this stupid resource so much, so people could just go about their lives without panicking all the time. But this is not the world we were born into. Now, I can admit that I am often preoccupied with money. I want to save it as much as I can in case of a rainy day down the road. This is why I occasionally have stupidly hired less-than professionals for some of my household appliances. But the worst mistake I ever made was hiring an uncertified heating, cooling, and air quality control worker last year. I guess I should not call them a heating and cooling worker, because they had zero certification to earn them this HVAC technician title. In fact, they were a “freelance” air quality control specialist who I found in a local paper that offered some heating and cooling equipment experience. I should have gotten a real HVAC professional, but instead, I screwed myself by hiring extremely cheap heating, cooling, and ventilation student. I was blown away by the low price tag for his services, but I was about to be even more blown away by my broken HVAC system. The in-progress heating, cooling, and air quality control technician who had not been certified for HVAC repairs, installations, or inspections yet managed to destroy my air conditioner. That’s when I learned that, in fact, he was only 1 year into his heating and cooling technician courses at the local trade college. This is the experience that finally taught me, you want to have a highly trained indoor air quality control repair specialist to work on your indoor air handling equipment.
