I was honestly surprised when my boss asked me to be in charge of the HVAC maintenance in the office building.
He gave me a company credit card to pay for all the expenses.
I was very proud when I learned how to save us money on the HVAC maintenance though. I ended up looking into HVAC service plans and decided to enroll the company into one. This actually cut the cost of our HVAC maintenance services significantly and with all the extra money, we were able to use it to improve the air quality in the building. I decided to have a UV air purification system installed which everybody appreciates. I was talking to the boss about it telling him how if the workers are more comfortable, their work production will be far better. He said it didn’t matter, so long as I kept within the company budget. So basically because I was able to save so much money, I could use those savings for whatever I deemed appropriate for indoor comfort in the building. I have been thinking that down the road, we might even be able to invest in radiant heated floors for the bathrooms and break rooms. I bet everybody would enjoy that kind of comfort, especially during business parties. I mentioned this to the boss and he said it sounded like a pretty good idea if I could manage to save enough money over the years to cover the cost for something like that. Honestly to me, it seems entirely feasible and I look forward to the moment when I can request such HVAC upgrades in the building.
