Woman HVAC Tech
« on: July 10, 2025, 10:21:32 PM »
I've serviced my own furnace and AC by myself but, recently, had my air conditioner serviced by a tech. They sent a woman tech out. When the job was "done" and she departed, I discovered the woman left the indoor unit housing cover and screws off, laying on the basement floor; and outside, she left a metal plate from the outdoor unit laying in the grass.

Not gonna lie -- if I was hiring an engineer, or mechanic, I would choose any and every man available before I'd choose a woman. Just going with nature, with the odds, and common sense.

That doesn't mean there are no competent females in these fields. What I am saying is that they are the exception.

The female HVAC mechanic, in your case, seems to be some kind of diversity hire.

But to get philosophical --
Women have the ability to "rise to the occasion" and "do what needs to be done". For example, taking care of a family after a husband dies. Is it ideal? of course not. But God built that strength into women. But the modern world promotes STEM, etc. to women like it's in their nature, or some kind of ideal. Men and women are fundamentally different, period.
And not just a few physical differences, but in every conceivable way.

As I've often quoted: If it weren't for the fact that men & women are able to produce offspring, an argument could be made that females are a different *species*. That's how different they are from men.

Report her and get your money back, if possible. She’s either lazy and/or doesn’t know her business.  If I have to do half the job, I may as well do the entire job myself.  
An able-bodied woman with brain cells intact can learn HVAC.  Especially when it’s a woman doing a job considered “male,” it’s extra important her work be of excellent quality. 
Before blaming the shoddy job on her sex, do you know her situation?  Is she in need of a job that pays a living wage?  HVAC is an area of need that doesn’t require a degree, can be learned on the job, and has promotion potential for a decent wage. 
Maid at a motel requires about the same physical agility and stamina, but a single woman working 60-72 hours per week won’t make half as much as HVAC. In many areas, a motel maid will be unable to support herself.  
Living wage jobs for traditional Catholics are getting increasingly difficult to find. Among that population, jobs for single women who must support themselves are even more difficult to find. 
Nonetheless, there’s no excuse for shoddy, incomplete work. Just about anyone can reattach covers with screws and nuts!

I agree. My kids know how to use a screwdriver. Both boys and girls. It doesn't take tons of strength or intellect, or kids wouldn't be able to do it.

Good points, Matthew and Seraphina, but I decided not to report her. I figure maybe she was tired and had some brain fog which led to her absent-mindedness. I can understand one of the incidents happening but BOTH happening at the same time in two different places (basement and outside). :facepalm: Good thing I saw the plate before running over it with my lawnmower. Anyway, the AC is running great. I'm sure if this is a habitual problem with her, she's already been reported or she will be in the future.
