When my brother’s garage air conditioning unit broke, he called to complain.
He said he couldn’t do without air conditioning when he was working, and I said nothing.
I asked what he was going to do. He told me he was thinking about getting a single mini split HVAC system and having it installed in the garage. He could work all year round in the garage if it had good heating and air conditioning. He asked me what I knew about air purification with the mini split, ductless HVAC system. I told him air purification was different. It had its own form of air purification, but it wasn’t as good as an air purification that had a UV light and HEPA air filter. He thanked me for the information. Before he hung up, he asked if I would help him install the HVAC system if he bought it. I agreed to help. The thing that bothered me was that he didn’t ask if I could purchase it for him and get a discount. That was normal for my brother. We always asked favors of each other that tipped the scales of kosher, but it worked for us. He helped me out so my car repairs were cheaper than if I went to a garage and I helped out with his HVAC. Later that day, my brother called back. He told me the cheapest price he could find for the ductless HVAC system and asked if I could get a better price at the HVAC company. I told him, lucky for him,’ I’m an HVAC technician.
