As an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C serviceman, I have had my honorableshare of uncommon plus humorous experiences on the job, then one of the most memorable moments happened when I was called to a customer’s house to maintenance their air conditioner unit, when I arrived, I was greeted by an elderly lady who asked myself and others if I could help her “catch the thief”; Confused, I asked what she meant plus she explained that she had been hearing odd noises coming from her HVAC ducts plus she was sure that someone had broken into her house through the vents, but i chuckled a bit plus reassured her that it was just the sound of her air conditioner unit running plus that there was no one in the ducts.
To prove my point, I climbed up to the attic plus crawled into the ducts to show her that there was no one there, however just as I was about to emerge from the ducts, I heard her shouting from below “Oh thank goodness, he iscaught him, he iscaught him!” I was momentarily taken aback, however then both of us realized that she was referring to me.
When I finally emerged from the ducts, she hugged myself and others plus thanked myself and others for catching the thief. I couldn’t help however laugh at the situation plus explain that I was just doing my job as an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C serviceman, and she apologized for the confusion plus I went on to maintenance her air conditioner unit. The whole incident was so funny that I still remember it to this day. I consistently approach each job with a sense of humor plus a willingness to listen, because you never know what kind of story you might come away with.
