The last time the annual board meeting was held, the ac failed during the session.
The situation got so bad that we had to move the discussion to a different room where the atmosphere was more favorable.
It was an embarrassment since ours is the main office where everything is supposed to move smoothly. Several people feared that they would lose their jobs because of it, but nobody lost their job, although we were all warned sternly. This time around, we wanted to take our time. Before the annual general meeting, we sort out HVAC maintenance from the local contractor. To ensure the air purification system was in good condition, we called the HVAC company, who sent two HVAC technicians to care for duct cleaning to help with indoor comfort. They also replaced the air filter with a washable one. After that incident, the company also purchased an air purifier explicitly for such meetings. For someone looking from the outside, it looked like we were going overboard when it came to our air quality systems when the HVAC unit was more than capable of taking care of the indoor air quality, but we were not taking any chances. The thermostat did not need replacement since it was pretty new. With the ducts squeaky clean, we were all set. All the preparations reminded me that I never took note of the ductwork in my house, but that would change. I called the HVAC professional the same day and scheduled home services. After the AGM went on without a hitch, you could see the relief on everyone’s faces.
