My friends are typically asking me what my worst Heating as well as A/C repair call ever was? I usually tell them I had never had a actually disappointing Heating as well as A/C repair call.
- This week, I had a repair call to talk about that topped whatever the other Heating as well as A/C professionals had.
I was called out to this old apartment as well as I needed to repair their furnace. The owner of the apartment told me where the furnace was. When I was going down the steps, he told me to be careful of the hole in the floor. He didn’t want me to trip as well as fall. I saw the hole, as well as it didn’t look prefer much, despite the fact that I still avoided it. When I got to the furnace, I walked behind it while looking at the HVAC duct leading into the furnace. I stepped cautiously, despite the fact that I could not help but trip. There was a small lip that my toe caught on as well as I fell face first. Had I hit water or dirt, I would have been embarrassed as well as possibly slightly disfigured, but that wasn’t the case. I ended up falling into what looked prefer as well as odored prefer a sewer drain. You occasionally find sewage in basements if there is a leak, but this was more of a cesspool. I got back upstairs as hastily as I could as well as asked for a hose. The owner took me to a small room off the porch as well as pushed me into a shower. The sizzling water felt great as it sluiced down over my body as well as washed the sewage off my clothing as well as body. Other than telling me he warned me, he said he also needed to get more light down there. I wasn’t the first Heating as well as A/C professional who fell into that hole.
