I’m not really the sort of person that you would consider to be very handy around the house.
I can change the oil on my own vehicle and that is about the extent of my personal mechanical skills.
When it comes to carpentry or electrical jobs I am no better off. I didn’t learn how to use my hands growing up because I was too busy learning how to program computers. I am a very techy human being and I spend most of my time all online learning new things. That’s why, I tend to stumble across entertaining YouTube channels and Instagram feeds on accident from time to time. Sometimes, those entertainment sources inspire me to take on DIY projects that I can’t handle. This was the case when I started watching a heating and cooling YouTube channel a few weeks ago. At first, I thought that central heating, cooling, and ventilation repair and installation videos would be very boring. However, the heating and cooling technicians who host the videos are actually wildly entertaining. They make me care about indoor air quality somehow. I have had a vested interest in energy efficiency and thermostat programming ever since I started spending my days watching these HVAC repair videos. This wouldn’t be such a bad thing, except I’ve started worrying about my own indoor air handling devices. Suddenly, I find myself researching the newest models of air conditioning units and forced air furnaces. I never thought that I would be interested in the HVAC industry, let alone wondering if I could install my own heating and cooling upgrades.
