I recently called a plumbing company that does HVAC and electrical.
I needed the plumber to handle a water pump issue.
My pump just turned off and I couldn’t flush a toilet or take a shower. While the plumber was there I couldn’t help but ask him about my HVAC unit. My air conditioner frequently keeps freezing up and then doesn’t cool to the level I want it at. I also have some electrical jobs as well. I would like to move a few switches around and add an outlet to a bedroom. Sadly the plumber may work for a company that offers plumbing, electrical and HVAC, but he doesn’t do them all. I learned that becoming a licensed plumber is different from a certified HVAC technician. They send a different guy for AC repair and a different man would handle my electrical issues. I was sort of bummed that I couldn’t just make this guy stay all day at my house handling the various jobs I was putting off. Instead I am going to need to call and make two different appointments. I wonder how hard it is for technicians to be certified for all three. Are the jobs really that different? I will need to prioritize my services though. I needed water the most. I think next my AC repair will come into play. Last, when I have the money, I can think about getting some electrical work done. It would be nice if all three men do a great job. How handy is it that the same company can do all that stuff?
