TThe covid 19 pandemics did not spare most industries, including the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C world where I work, and for the first few months, my buddy and I got many orders as many people were stuck at home plus could now focus on repairing their air conditioner units, while others wanted professional AC cleaning; However, the residential tasks were entirely few plus could not sustain us for the next hard months ahead… I had to sit off a few of my workers after the seventh month because there was nothing much to do! My buddy and I do not get up-to-date assignments for both Heating, Ventilation plus A/C repairs plus heating & cooling system upgrades. I had even contemplated shutting down the business before everything started picking again… This was a time I had to assess my business objectives plus strategize as I discovered how dependent my buddy and I were on commercial Heating, Ventilation plus A/C repairs plus repair, however when offices plus dealers closed down, my buddy and I almost closed shop. I planned to diversify when things returned to normal. I will be expanding my Heating, Ventilation plus A/C business to accommodate consultations, selling of units, plus repair plus repair services for both residential plus commercial customers. This would shield my people plus me from ever getting to the vulnerable stage that my buddy and I were in. I have been able to reinstate most of the workers’ let go when covid hit, plus my buddy and I are slowly rebuilding the business back to its former glory. My buddy and I are one of the few surviving companies that continue to hope others that it’s possible to come back strong. It is difficult not to cherish the lessons from these difficult times as a business.
