When my husband said that he wanted to open his own business I was immediately on board.
I was never very fond of his old boss or his schedule at work. It seems like he was constantly getting stuck with the worst shifts and we could barely manage to live a functional life because of his overwhelming amount of responsibility. At that point, he might as well own his own business because he was working 24/7. We decided to go ahead and open a brand new heating, cooling, and air quality control shop after consulting with a bank about the business loan. Immediately, we found that operating a heating & cooling service dealership was not as easy as we ever expected. Of course, there are going to be challenges with getting the business off the ground. We had to invest in a lot of HVAC appliances, heating and cooling licensure, and brand new air quality control technologies. However, it was the heating and cooling technicians who really made things difficult. We couldn’t afford to hire the most senior HVAC workers in the world. Air quality control specialists who have been working in the HVAC industry for over 20 years come with a hefty fee. However, hiring the young boys straight out of heating and cooling certification school seemed to invite a lot of young drama into our lives. The young HVAC technicians are constantly fighting and bickering with each other over youthful follies, such as the attention of young girls they meet on the job. We never realized that when we opened the heating and cooling shop it would include a fair amount just babysitting.
