It was a sad day when I opened up my local newspaper this past Monday.
- There was an article in there that was announcing the demise of the longest standing heating and air conditioning company in my area.
This heating and air conditioning company was around since even before I was born. And I am in my 50’s. This is a sign of the times and how many things are changing in the world. The heating and air conditioning company was going bankrupt because of all the independent heat and a/c contractors. They were getting all the business. Granted, in all fairness they could have possibly avoided this by lowering their prices. That is actually what killed this long standing heating and air conditioning company. They didn’t get the fact that the world had been going through tough times with lots of minimum wage workers being the normal class society and the fact that many were losing income in other ways with the modern financial depression that came on us about 5 years ago. If the heating and air conditioning company would have just worked with the people and paid attention to what was going on in the world, they may still be going strong and the independent heating and cooling contractors would not have put them out of business. This is for sure the end of a long era. I haven’t used them in a long time for the same reason no one else has, but I will still miss knowing that they are around.
