At the height of summer, my parents decided to pay me a surprise visit.
Since moving to the coast, we hadn’t seen each other for two years. We often spoke via video chat, but I longed to see them. Work was crazy, so getting time to travel wasn’t possible. Dad had some business to handle in a town near my home, so they drove down. I was surprised when they called to say they were near my house. After settling in, I had to go to work, and they went out to dinner. There was a Japanese restaurant right around the corner. When I got home, dad was raving about it, especially since it had an excellent AC. I lived in one of the hottest towns, and summer needed nothing else apart from the best HVAC unit. It was impossible to go or stay anywhere without a working air conditioning unit. Mom had wanted to stay at home since my aircon was an excellent model. But, dad was itching to get out and about. So, they got to the Japanese restaurant and were welcomed by the cool air from a robust central heating and cooling unit. The difference between the outside was like night and day. Inside the restaurant, everyone was enjoying the lovely atmosphere as the air ventilation unit buzzed away. The owner greeted them, and dad inquired more about the HVAC system. He learned that the establishment had invested in a quality HVAC after several failing models. They always needed to keep it running, so many other simple air conditioners couldn’t handle the demand. The new AC was expensive, but it rarely broke down. Plus, it only needed aircon tuneup twice a year. Dad decided to ask for the contacts of the AC supplier because he wanted a similar cooling system back home.
