As a refrigeration/HVAC guy, the past couple months have been hell. Most of our crew has been working over 60 hours a week for two months straight and we still aren’t even close to keeping up. We’re having to heavily triage calls. Hell, I just finally got dispatched to a prison the other day where aparently a whole cell block had been mostly without AC for an entire week. Normally a call like that would get someone dispatched same day but we just don’t have the people. I work with guys that have been doing this for decades and even they say that the current volume of tickets is unprecedented.
