The  Importance  of  Air  Conditioning  By  Jeremy  Bednarsh    The  importance  of  air  conditioning  to  a  business  can  be  absolutely  critical.  Jeremy  Bednarsh  learned  that  immediately  when  he  began  working  as  an  air  conditioning  technician.  The  first  job  Jeremy  Bednarsh  was  assigned  was  a  restaurant  on  an  extremely  hot  day.  The  restaurant  was  located  in  a  prime  location  by  the  ocean,  it  was  a  Friday  night  and  the  temperatures  were  not  going  to  drop  too  much  as  the  sun  went  down.  The  owner  pleaded  with  Jeremy  Bednarsh  to  do  anything  to  get  the  system  up  and  running  for  the  night.    When  an  air  conditioning  system  breaks  down  in  an  environment  like  a  food  establishment,  there  are  many  things  to  consider  like  smells,  insects,  and  food  spoilage.  Jeremy  Bednarsh  was  literally  sweating  through  his  uniform  as  he  worked  to  figure  out  what  went  wrong  and  how  to  fix  it.  The  restaurant  owner  was  beginning  to  expect  that  they  may  need  to  close  for  the  night  but  was  clearly  stressed  about  this  option.  The  amount  of  money  the  establishment  would  lose  as  a  result  of  closing  would  be  more  than  what  it  would  take  for  a  new  air  conditioning  system!    Jeremy  Bednarsh  figured  out  a  way  to  rig  the  system  so  that  the  restaurant  could  stay  open  for  the  night.  Jeremy  Bednarsh  was  on  call  for  the  rest  of  the  night  and  hoped  that  what  he  did  would  keep  everything  functioning  for  a  few  more  hours.  It  was  at  that  point  that  he  realized  how  important  these  systems  were  to  his  clients  and  how  skillful  he  was  in  repair.    Jeremy  Bednarsh  currently  resides  in  San  Diego,  CA,  where  he  has  worked  as  an  HVAC  technician  for  10  years.  He  works  mostly  on  commercial  buildings,  and  some  of  his  specialties  include  building  management  systems,  VFDs,  large  electrical  motors,  VAVs,  large  packing  units,  split  systems,  refrigeration,  electrical,  gas  furnaces,  boilers,  cooling  towers,  DDC,  and  water  source  heat  pumps.  Jeremy  is  also  a  proficient  in  electrical  work,  mechanical  work,  and  wood  building.
