I enjoy fixing things, even when they are not broken.
Lol! But I find peace and satisfaction in doing that. People find it weird that I derive joy from fixing malfunctioning or faulty electronics, especially faulty cooling equipment, because we have many of those at home. I grew up with a fascination with cooling technology, and for as long as I can remember, I have always played around with any cooling appliances that I can lay my hands on. Right now, my latest craze is the electric heat pump I picked up from my neighbor’s yard. Even though it’s not complex equipment with lots of wires, they have not maintained it well. The last time their cooling technician came over for the regular quality AC service, they had to toss it out since the local service provider no longer stocks the necessary parts needed to fix it. So I end up filling our backyard with all sorts of climate control equipment and parts deemed useless by any HVAC contractor or HVAC business I know around town. In our house, I tend to help with indoor comfort a lot. We rarely call on any cooling corporation to help fix anything unless it is a technical hitch beyond my comprehension. That is when we summon a cooling specialist to service our equipment. I have mastered so much that my dad felt I should put my skills to good use and enroll in HVAC installation courses, but for me, it is merely a hobby of sorts. My heart is settled on electrical engineering for now. Maybe someday I might have a change of heart and turn my pet peeve into an actual money-making venture.
