I am considering getting a HVAC license....
... and moving to North Carolina where my vacation home is and cleaning up.
I called 5 different Heating / Air companies last week trying to get a service call.
Company #1 told me they only deal in cash. See ya.
Company 2 told me they only work in units they installed. See ya.
Company 3, I left a voicemail, never got a call back.
Company 4, told me they could not come out for 2 weeks.
Company 5 was the only nice one, I begged him (yes by this point I was reduced to begging) to please not blow me off. Instead he gave me some over the phone advise and it turned out to be correct. He was out of town and would not be back until the middle of the next week.
BTW - Thanks to wilke3169, Kevin, for calling me up Friday to give advise as well.
In another thread I asked for advise as to what was wrong with my unit. My outside compressor was encased in ice. As it turned out, it was a dirty filter. Go figure. Once I changed my filter I did not have another problem with it.
I hope that was it anyway, it would have been nice to have a tech come out and look everything over but I could not get anyone out.
So my idea is to open a place up, and then go out on service calls and do honest work and not rip anyone off.
Insane concept?
