I really wish that my husband did not have to go out and do house calls for heating and cooling repairs on the holidays.
Honestly, I think it’s probably the worst part of working as an HVAC technician, or being married to one.
It’s really hard to have any dedicated family time whenever you don’t know when or where your husband is going to be going out on a heating or cooling repair job. I also find it to be really annoying that my husband is the HVAC technician who seems to always end up working on the emergency calls more than any other HVAC technician at his company. He says that he does not mind doing it because he makes a whole lot of money at it, but money is not everything. My husband and I get into fights about this all the time because I would rather have him home with us on holidays and weekends then for him to be out working and making a lot of extra money. I keep telling him that this is the time that we are not going to ever get back with our kids. He just always says that there is money to be made and that he is the one who needs to make it for us and our family. I can understand that to a certain extent, and I am glad that he is a hard worker. However, I really think that the HVAC company needs to hire additional workers to work on the emergency heating and cooling calls.
