I have never been more grateful in my life like I was over the weekend. It finally dawned on me that I could lose everything in an instant. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have left the house to go party with my friends. But because I hadn’t been out for a while, I decided to carpool to a party but hours later we were in a police cell spending the night because of drunk driving. Now back home, I am more thankful for the little things like my quality HVAC. It didn’t even hit me that some places lack cooling and heating equipment. I kept thinking that if I were back home, I’d be enjoying the fresh air around me and adjusting my thermostat at will, thanks to my residential HVAC. Police cells are not the best places to be, for anything. This particular one even had commercial HVAC in place but just at the office section. Come to think of it, those cells deserve even an air purification system at the very least because they are very stuffy. Since we weren’t going anywhere soon, I spent the time thinking more about heating and cooling appliances. I imagined the kind of human traffic the police station attends to every day and how often they have cooling and heating maintenance because it looked like their Ac units ran 24-hours every single day. Do they even have energy saving help in place? What’s the protocol to hire a local service provider for regular maintenance a/c installation, duct cleaning? And how do they get an a/c serviceman in case of an emergency? Do they understand what home services mean? I even fell asleep thinning and left the cell the following day.
