The heat made the smell worse because it was a hot summer day.

I have been an HVAC technician for ten years. In my time as an HVAC tech I have been to hundreds of homes. I have seen gorgeous and perfectly clean homes and I have also seen some messy homes. However, in my ten years of working as an HVAC technician I had never seen or smelled something like I did last week. This has been the first time in a long time I am considering leaving the heating and cooling business for another job. When I knocked on the door, an older woman answered. As soon as she opened the front door, I was hit with a wave of the worst smell I have ever experienced. Of course I had to be professional and I did not want to get fired from the HVAC company I’ve been working for, so I tried not to show the disgust on my face. When I walked into the home, I immediately noticed that the woman was a hoarder. At this moment, I felt grateful that the HVAC company I work for requires me to wear covers on my shoes in people’s homes. The home was extremely hot, which made sense because there was an issue with the air conditioning. The heat made the smell worse because it was a hot summer day. There were cats running around and it smelled like their litter had not been cleaned in months. There were boxes, clothes, magazines, and random items scattered around the home. I kept running back and forth to my HVAC company truck outside just to get some fresh air.
