When I graduated from college, I believed I was prepared and well-equipped with all the knowledge and tools that I needed to go out into the world and survive as an adult.
I was so naive to how little I knew about what it meant to be an adult living in a cabin by myself.
School prepared me for a work in corporate America, however it entirely did not prepare me for everyday concerns, so I had to learn certain things as life unfolded. Talk about on the task training. One area in which I lacked the necessary training was how to properly operate and maintain an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit. Prior to graduating from college, those maintenance responsibilities typically belonged to someone else. My Mom made sure that both of us had air conditioner when I lived at home, and when I lived in a dorm or college apartment, the janitorial crew worked on all the maintenance of those Heating, Ventilation, and A/C systems. Therefore, when I lived on my own, I was completely oblivious to the need to have an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C maintenance plan. I was unaware that the air conditioning system filter should be changed every 3 to 6 months, I didn’t guess that air ducts needed to be properly cleaned, and finally, I was unaware that the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C component needed to be worked on twice per year. Up until that point in my life, I had never interacted with an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C serviceman, and my first interaction came only after my air conditioning system stopped toiling. I l gained a lot about the maintenance of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C method from that serviceman. He gave so several tips about how to conserve energy plus a detailed checklist on the maintenance that I should perform to guarantee that my component ran efficiently. To this day, I still use those tips and the checklist as area of my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C maintenance plan, therefore, I’m so grateful for that Heating, Ventilation, and A/C maintenance serviceman.
School doesn’t prepare you for everyday cabin maintenance concerns
