So like most young people my age, I struggled to find a career that both challenged me, and allowed me to do something rewarding while at the same time provided a good living. I found my calling when I started HVAC school last fall, and it was what I had been looking for all along.
HVAC allows me to flex my handy side, keeps me from sitting at a desk all day filing reports or being at another“paper or plastic” type job. Everything I have been doing from AC tune-ups to Air duct cleaning
I truly enjoy. Every work day is something different, and being down here in sunny South Florida, there is always someone who needs something air condition related. Some of the service plan calls I go out on are fairly routine air duct cleaning that are fairly straight forward, but the other day I had a service call that I found pretty cool.
Firtst Time We Installed a UV Light
We went to go install a UV Light system in a customer’s ductwork because she had a concern about the air quality that her air conditioning unit was circulating. The UV light works to improve air quality by killing micro-organisms that ordinarily thrive in air ducts and other enclosed spaces. The technology is proven and has been used in many other applications besides HVAC.
It is great for people who have allergies,and truly creates healthier and cleaner air. A huge upside is that it also significantly improves air-smell and over all air quality. I was amazed to find out how this simple product can totally transform an air conditioning units effectiveness.
The UV bulbs we installed are 100% percent safe for household use and the woman called a few days later to tell us that her daughter’s allergy attacks and uncontrollable sneezing fits were basically gone!
I am still learning about the use of UV Light in improving Air quality, and other aspects of the HVAC world, but I will be sure to keep you up-to-date on my journey through the “ducts”….
